Precision agriculture in Europe:Legal, social and ethical considerations
The aim of this study is to illustrate the different ways in which the current EU legislative framework may be affected by the digitisation and automation of farming activities and the respective technological trends. The study analyses the issues that might have to be dealt with, identifying the European Parliament committees concerned and the legislative acts that might need to be revisited, especially in view of the forthcoming Commission communication on the future of the Common Agricultural ...
Първият стълб на ОСП: І — обща организация на пазарите (ООП) на селскостопански продукти
ООП включва пазарните мерки, предвидени в рамките на общата селскостопанска политика (ОСП). Последователните реформи доведоха до сливането през 2007 г. на 21 ООП в единна ООП, отнасяща се до всички селскостопански продукти. Едновременно с това преразглеждането на общата селскостопанска политика (ОСП) постепенно ориентира в още по-голяма степен тази политика към пазарите и намали обхвата на инструментите за намеса; последните понастоящем се считат за „защитни мрежи“, които следва да се използват единствено ...
Инструментите на ОСП и техните реформи
Общата селскостопанска политика (ОСП) претърпя през годините пет големи реформи, от които последните две са през 2003 г. (междинен преглед), през 2009 г. („оценка на здравословното състояние“) и през 2013 г. (за финансовия период 2014—2020 г.). Първите разисквания относно ОСП след 2020 г. започнаха през 2016 г.
Research for AGRI Committee - The Post-Quotas EU Sugar Sector
The liberalisation of the sugar market in the EU will bring about changes in the sugar sector. Elimination of production quotas and the minimum price for the purchase of sugar beet will affect competition and sugar production. Foreign trade will play a key role in the market balance. The EU market will become strongly linked to the world market. The sugar sector is of strategic importance and CAP market policy should include instruments that allow the maintenance of sugar production.
Research for AGRI Committee - State of Play of Risk Management Tools Implemented by Member States During the Period 2014-2020: National and European Framework
The study aims at reviewing the implementing arrangements adopted recently by the EU Member States with regard to the risk management provisions in the agricultural sector. The study develops a general overview of the state of play of risk management in 2014/2020 Rural Development Programmes submitted by Member States (or Regions); examines similarities and differences in risk management tools implemented in order to gain a better understanding of their scope, their design, their limits and their ...
Organic farming legislation - Revision of regulation on organic production and labelling of organic products
The development of organic production is a political objective of the EU. Although its organic market has constantly expanded, the EU's organic land area still represents only 6% of the total agricultural area and the difference between EU demand and production is covered by growing imports. To overcome the regulatory obstacles to the development of the sector and increase consumer confidence in the EU organic logo, in March 2014 the Commission adopted a proposal for a regulation on organic production ...
Organic farming legislation - Revision of regulation on organic production and labelling of organic products
The development of organic production is a political objective of the EU. Although its organic market has constantly expanded, the EU's organic land area still represents less than 6% of the total agricultural area and the difference between EU demand and production is covered by growing imports. To overcome the regulatory obstacles to the development of the sector and increase consumer confidence in the EU organic logo, the European Commission adopted in March 2014 a proposal for a Regulation on ...
Organic production and the European Union
Organic agriculture views itself as respecting natural cycles by refraining from the use of genetically modified organisms, by limiting the use of synthetic chemical products and by ensuring animal welfare. Organic production, regulated and supported at EU level, is controlled, certified and labelled. The specifications list also adapts to different kinds of production. Initially a niche market, organic agriculture now represents a European market worth more than EUR 22 billion a year, with demand ...
EU legislation on Organic Production and Labelling: Implementation Appraisal
This is the first in a new series of 'Implementation Appraisals', produced by the European Parliamentary Research Service (EPRS), on the operation of existing EU legislation in practice. Each such briefing focuses on a specific EU law which is, or will shortly be, subject to an amending proposal from the European Commission, intended to update the current text. The series is based on the Commission’s intentions, as announced in its annual Work Programme (CWP). 'Implementation Appraisals' aim to provide ...
