Abstract

This Regional Act makes provisions for the improvement of the economy related to the agricultural, agroindustrial and sylvo-pastoral system of the Lombardia Region. It is divided into five Titles aimed at: a) guaranteeing the protection of consumers; b) ensuring the safety and the quality of agricultural products; c) supporting rural development; d) improving environmental resources; e) ensuring the development of rural activities and of agricultural enterprises in mountain areas and other less-favoured areas; f) promoting typical products. The Region as well as the Provinces, Mountain Communities and other local authorities shall endeavour to achieve the above-mentioned purposes, in accordance with their competences, laid down in Regional Act No. 11 of 4 July 1998. The Region and the Provinces shall elaborate annual schemes on the interventions to be carried out and the allocation of financial resources. Article 2 provides for the establishment of the regional register for the agricultural and sylvo-pastoral enterprises operating in the agroindustrial, forestry and fishery sectors. Article 4 defines the different types of interventions aimed at developing the primary sector (among others, the promotion of agricultural techniques compatible with the protection of the environment; afforestation; the development of installations intended for wild fauna breeding, aquaculture and agriculture). In accordance with article 5, the regional authority shall recognize farmers' associations. Article 7 establishes the Regional Guarantor, who is in charge of the protection of consumers.
