  4. Status Quo and Promises Pillar 1 Former Commissioner Fischler proposed in 2003 to shift 20 % of pillar 1 - budget to rural development (pillar 2). 90% EAGGF - Guarantee Rural Development (Pillar 2) 10 %

  5. Modulation The CAP-Reform of 2003 enabled all member states to transfer a further 10 % of pillar 1 to „rural development“ measures. (Article 69 – National Envelope) 70% EAGGF - Guarantee 30 % Rural Development

  6. Modulation + Article 69 New political instruments for sustainable land use: • strong cross-compliance • 20 % modulation • national envelope (article 69) 60% EAGGF - Guarantee Results: - Socially and ecologically qualified 1st pillar - Strong rural development tool box 40 % Rural Development

  7. Results of the CAP Reform (2003) Pillar 1 Realities: • Weak cross-compliance • Only 5 % of modulation • Hardly any country adopted „Article 69“ 85% EAGGF - Guarantee Rural Development (Pillar 2) 15 %

  15. Financial Perspective 2007 – 2013 • Commission's proposal: disappointing, continuation of the present distribution of payments (status quo), although new challenges for RD were added (NATURA 2000, EU27) • Net payers: a rollback, give-up of promises concerning RD (made by Com. Fischler) • Juncker's proposal: is only softening the net payers proposal • German NGO-Coalition:Co-funding of pillar 1, real socially and ecologically qualification of pillar payments, doubling of RD Funds up to 25bn €

  16. Situation September 2005 PM Blair opened a discussion about a new distribution of agriculture spending The discussion has to be used: • to question the spending in the pillar 1 • to strengthen the position of rural development in the EU (employment, Natura 2000, sustainable agriculture, WTO) • Secure increasing of funds for RD
