Abstract

In view of the accession of new countries to the European Union, this Regulation amends Regulation (EC) No. 1257/1999 relative to support for rural development. In particular, the following paragraph 2b is inserted in article 33l: “2b. By way of derogation from Articles 21a, 21b and 21c, costs linked to investments needed to comply with a standard set by the Community before the date of accession, and binding for farmers from this date, or a later date, may be taken into consideration for determining the level of annual support. This possibility is limited to the first three years of the period of support, up to an annual ceiling of EUR 25 000 per farm. During this investment period, the degressivity provided for in Article 21c shall not apply. Loss of income and additional costs resulting from compliance with the standard may not be taken into consideration until the end of the investment period.”
