Maximum aid intensity: 50 %
Date of implementation: From when the Commission confirms receipt.
Duration of scheme or individual aid award: 2009-2012
Objective of aid: The aim of this provision is to allow those wishing to take up farming but who do not meet the eligibility criteria for the Young Farmer Grant to carry out a preparatory study of their plan to take up farming. This preparatory study must examine the economic viability of the project and facilitate the prospective farmers’ access to credit as they will have a reliable study to submit to the banks should they wish to negotiate loans. This provision should help ensure that fewer farms are set up on an unsound economic footing and therefore reduce the number of farms in financial difficulties.
The aid will be granted in accordance with the provisions of Article 15 of Regulation (EC) No 1857/2006.
Sector(s) concerned: The entire agricultural sector
