TITLE 05

AGRICULTURE AND RURAL DEVELOPMENT

Overall objectives

The objectives of the common agricultural policy (CAP) derive directly from the Treaty and are, in particular, to stabilise markets, ensure a fair standard of living in the farming community and guarantee security of supplies.

The CAP has been reformed a number of times since it was first introduced, most recently with the agreement signed in June 2003 in Luxembourg. The key aim of that reform, as part of Agenda 2000, was to shift the slant of the farm economy towards the market in order to make the agricultural sector more competitive. Reflecting the multipurpose application of agricultural activity, the CAP must also be fully compatible with sustainable development, in particular by promoting environmentally friendly production methods and the effective use of resources. Rural development, the second pillar of the CAP, aims at enhancing the competitiveness of rural areas and preserving the environment and rural heritage in order to secure the future of rural areas and promote job maintenance and creation.

In 2005, the priorities for 2004 will be pursued, in particular as regards the implementation of the reforms adopted in 2003 and 2004, the operational application of the acquis in the new member countries and the World Trade Organisation (WTO) negotiations. These priorities are in addition to the regular activities of CAP.

Remarks

The purpose of development cooperation under this heading is primarily its contribution to achieving the millennium development goals (MDGs), particularly Goal 1: to halve the proportion of people whose income is less than USD 1 per day and to halve the proportion of people who suffer from hunger before 2015. The MDGs give an overall benchmark for this.

For OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) list 1 countries, a benchmark of 35 % of annual commitments is allocated to social infrastructure, mainly education and health, but also including macroeconomic assistance with social sector conditionality. In this context the contribution from the EU budget should be seen as part of overall donor support to the social sector in any given country. A degree of flexibility should be the norm. A benchmark of 20 % of total annual commitments will be allocated to activities in the sector of basic health and basic education, including sectoral budget support to health and education ministries where it is to serve basic health and basic education.

Before July each year, the Commission must submit to the European Parliament and to the Council an annual report on development cooperation. This report must also contain information on how the work of the Commission has contributed to the 35 % target for social infrastructure and in achieving the MDGs. The report should also contain information on the state of donor coordination between the Member States and information on how budget support has contributed to the MDGs. Budget support will depend on prior demonstration of sufficient institutional capacity and compliance with detailed criteria for the custody and use of funds in the recipient country. The criteria must be stated in the annual report, and compliance therewith must be assessed in the report.

After the report has been presented the three institutions will enter into a dialogue on the results and on how further progress can be made towards achieving the objectives.

The cooperation agreements with the Asian developing countries lay down a human rights’ clause, failure to comply with which means that the agreements will be suspended. The Commission is called on to be scrupulous in making sure that that clause is complied with by beneficiaries when any project is funded. This appropriation also covers the protection and promotion of children's rights and the integration of children's rights into programming, including in the country strategy papers, national indicative programmes and mid-term reviews.

Remarks

This appropriation is intended to cover measures to initiate the return to a normal life of people in developing countries in the aftermath of critical situations arising out of natural disasters, violent conflicts or other crises. In particular, it will cover the post Tsunami reconstruction aid.

Operations covered will include:

—	the relaunch of production on a lasting basis,

—	the physical and operational rehabilitation of basic infrastructure, including mine clearance,

—	social reintegration, in particular of refugees, displaced persons and demobilised troops,

—	the restoration of the institutional capacities needed in the rehabilitation period, especially at local level,

—	assisting with the needs of children, particularly rehabilitation of children affected by war, including child soldiers,

—	supporting disabled people and disabled people's organisations to ensure that their particular needs are met in the context of rehabilitation operations,

—	ensuring that the needs of women, children and older people are taken into account during disaster relief and reconstruction operations,

—	raising awareness of the dangers posed by natural disasters and of measures designed to avoid them or to avoid or reduce their consequences.

In particular, operations may cover programmes and projects implemented by non-governmental development organisations and other civil society players who are encouraged to participate and, in turn, promote the participation of the beneficiary population at every level of the decision-making and implementation process.
