Abstract

The Danish AgriFish Agency may grant subsidy to agricultural farm land with trees in short rotation and vegetation cultivated with reduced use of nitrogen and without the use of plant protection substances, other than those that may be used for organic production. This Order partially amends Order No. 95, in particular its introduction, whereby the implementation of Rural Development Act (No. 316 of 2007) provisions are now changed to articles 3, 5 (sect. 1-3), 7 (sect. 4) and 11 (sect. 4) and pursuant to art. 5, sect. 1, No. 5 of Order No. 559 on the Danish AgriFish Agency's duties and powers. This Order also amends violation penalties of one of the terms mentioned in article 18 (sect. 1, No. 1 and sect. 2-3) and art. 19, whereby a reduced net subsidy for the crop group shall now be subject to a penalty percentage – between 10-20% (factor 1,2), between 20-50% (factor 1,3) and between 50-100% (factor 1,4). These amendments shall apply to the processing of requests for payment of subsidies received as of 1 January 2015 or later.
