Abstract

The Regulations continue to make provision for the payment of aid to farmers who undertake to introduce organic farming methods ("conversion grant") and introduce new payments of aid to farmers: (a) for capital items required to introduce organic farming methods; (b) to use organic farming methods once aid for introducing such methods ceases ("maintenance grant"); and (c) to contribute to the cost of producing a conversion plan to apply for a conversion grant pursuant to Articles 22 to 24 of Council Regulation (EC) No. 1257/99. The Regulations conform to the Commission Regulation (EC) No. 445/2002, as amended, laying down detailed rules for the application of the Council Regulation and in particular Article 30 (transfer of holding), Article 33 (force majeure) Articles 35 and 36 (combination of aids) and Articles 62a, 63 and 64 (reimbursement of aid and penalties) of the Commission Regulation.
