Remarks
This appropriation is intended to cover the financing of the 2007 to 2013 rural development programmes funded by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD).
Of the total commitment appropriations in this item, an amount of EUR 1 865 900 000 results from the compulsory modulation in conformity with Article 9(1) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009. In addition an amount of EUR 429 800 000 results from the voluntary modulation in conformity with Regulation (EC) No 378/2007. Rural development measures under all axes will be measured against more refined performance indicators for farming systems and production methods so as to respond to the challenges related to climate change, water protection, biodiversity and renewable energies. Member States shall report on action taken on the new challenges in rural development measures, including the milk sector.
Based on the legally binding commitments which the EU agreed upon in connection with the conservation and sustainable use of biological diversity in farming practices, rural development programmes will include the setting-up, management and European coordination of data and seed conservation in open sources for seed exchange. Material and data gathered in these open seed banks for biodiversity, which will focus on the conservation of local and traditional varieties, will be accessible to governmental and non-governmental organisations.
