Transcription:

COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES Brussels, 4.1.1995 COM(95) 453 final 95/239 (CNS) Proposal for a EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND COUNCIL DIRECTIVE concerning the Community list of less-favoured farming areas within the meaning of Directive 75/268/EEC (Sweden) (presented by the Commission)

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM In accordance with Article 2(1) of Directive 75/268/EEC, the Swedish Government s sent to the Commission the list of communes (kommun) and parts of communes (forsamling) which should appear on the Community list of less-favoured farming areas, together with information concerning the cracteristics of those areas. In accordance with the agreements reached during the negotiations on the accession of Sweden to the European Union, and in particular Declaration No 37 annexed to the Act of Accession, the areas must be delimited in accordance with the acquis communautaire and, in the case of Sweden, inclusion of the northern latitude as a relevant criterion for the purposes of Article 3(3) of Council Directive 75/268/EEC enables four of the five agricultural support areas of northern Sweden existing before accession to be eligible. The type and degree of factors used to define the types of areas of which the Commission s been notified are explained in the Annex. They correspond respectively to the cracteristics of the areas referred to in Article 3(3), (4) and (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC, as amended by the Act of Accession, namely: 1. mountain areas whose altitude, slope and northern situation shorten the growing season and reduce the scope for using machinery (Article 3(3)); 2. areas less favoured from the agricultural viewpoint with low productivity on account of the land and low incomes in agriculture (Article 3(4)); 3. less-favoured areas affected by specific ndicaps (small area of agricultural plots, hills, poor water situation, coastal or lake islands, etc.) and in which farming must be continued in order to conserve the countryside (Article 3(5)). The result of applying these criteria is tt such areas cover 51% of the utilised agricultural area (UAA) of the country (see annexed tables giving details per 'Ian'). The areas affected by specific ndicaps do not exceed 4% of the total land area of the Member State. The Community contribution to expenditure on compensatory allowances will be included in the total amount set aside under the Structural Funds for Objectives 5(a) and 6.

pp ANNEX Re.: Delimitation of the mountain and other less-favoured farming areas (Directive 75/268/EEC) in Sweden 1. Provisions of the Act of Accession The Act of Accession - amends the acquis communautaire by introducing the northern latitude as a "mountain area" classification criterion (Article 3(3)); - recalls, in its declaration 37, tt less-favoured farming areas are to be delimited in accordance with the acquis communautaire; - enables, in tt same declaration, all the farming areas Nos 1, 2a, 2b and 3 situated in northern Sweden and benefiting from special national aid before accession to be classified within the meaning of Article 3(3) of Directive 75/268/EEC. 2. Delimitation criteria Objective criteria ve been established to define the list of communes and parts of communes eligible in accordance with the three types laid down in Article 3 of Directive 75/268/EEC. The types are explained in the various recitals of the proposed Directive. Thefirstrecital restricts itself to noting the regulatory facility, which all Member States are entitled to use in any case, to ask the Commission to review the list of eligible areas. The wording implies no obligation on the part of the Commission. 2.1 Mountain area (Article 3(3)) The cold areas of northern Sweden ve been made equivalent to traditional mountain areas under Article 3(3). These Swedish areas: - are part of one of the former sub-areas Nos 1, 2a, 2b and 3; in accordance with declaration 37 of the Act of Accession these four of the five "agricultural support areas of northern Sweden" are included in their entirety given their northern location; - ve a growing season of less tn 17 days for the communes adjacent to the region mentioned in declaration 37. (17 days in which the recorded temperature is on average greater tn or equal to 5 C. 5 C is the cut-off temperature for the germination of sugar beet and the growth of the major European cereal crops. This agro-climatic situation is similar to tt encountered in the Alps above 8 metres and therefore corresponds to the acquis communautaire.) I

Simple less-favoured area (Article 3(4)) - Having a value for the standard index of crop yields (grouping together 13 annual crops) and for the index of agricultural income (excluding direct income aid) each less tn or equal to 8% of the national average and a population density of fewer tn 5 inbitants/km, or - ving a percentage of fodder crops within the meaning of Regulation (EEC) No 266/92 greater tn or equal to 7% of the UAA and a value of the index of agricultural income (excluding direct income aid) less tn or equal to 8% of the national average and a population density of fewer tn 5 inbitants/km 2. The 8% threshold is the value normally used in the other Member States which expresses a level of production or income "substantially lower" tn the average. The communal income index, the average of the GVA/AWU established for each commune, is already in practical use in the Community (France, Ireland, Belgium). For the population density, as for Finland, no reference is made to the national average since this is only 21 inbitants/km 2. The threshold of 5 inbitants/km 2 corresponds to 33% of the average for the Community of Twelve and is at a level equivalent to tt used in France, the United Kingdom, Greece, Portugal and Austria. The index of standard yields is a weighted average at commune or infra-commune level comprising the yields of 13 annual crops. Tt index is not relevant for measuring the agricultural value of soils when the proportion of fodder crops within the meaning of Regulation (EEC) No 266/92 (CMO for beef and veal) represents 7% or more of the UAA (France, UK, Germany, Austria). Less-favoured area with specific ndicaps (Article 3(5)) The value of the index of yields and of agricultural income, each being less tn the national average and the existence of a specific ndicap: - coastal or lake islands; - hilly area with scattered agricultural land; - humid areas or areas with a poor water situation. This practice complies with the acquis communautaire. In addition, the areas comply with the provision according to which they must not represent more tn 4% of the total land area of the Member State. 3

Territorial units relevant to verification The commune or the parish (fôrsamling). The "agricultural areas" existing in Sweden at the time of accession and for which reliable statistics ve been produced may be regarded as "homogeneous agricultural land" as laid down in Directive 75/268/EEC. 3. Results The list of eligible communes and parts of communes drawn up in accordance with the above criteria in partnership between Swedish experts and the Commission, represents 51% of the UAA of Sweden. It covers 1 87 hectares of agricultural land, of which: - "mountain" area (Article 3(3) of Directive 75/268/EEC): 526 - "simple" less-favoured area (Article 3(4)): 1 11 - area with specific ndicaps (Article 3(5)): 333 (part of which is the two major islands in the Baltic: Ôland and Gotland, and all other minor islands ving a significant land area dedicated to agriculture). The total area of areas with specific ndicaps (islands, humid areas, hilly areas, etc.) does not exceed the 4% of the total land area of Sweden permitted by Community rules.

Draft COUNCIL DIRECTIVE of concerning the Community list of less-favoured farming areas within the meaning of Directive 75/268/EEC (Sweden) THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Having regard to Directive 75/268/EEC of 28 April 1975 on mountain and hill farming and farming in certain less-favoured areas 1, as last amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden, and in particular Article 2(2) thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission 2, Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament 3, Whereas a significant proportion of the territory of Sweden suffers from permanent natural ndicaps; whereas Declaration No 37 of the Act of Accession recognises tt the boundaries of the mountain and other less-favoured farming areas within the meaning of Article 3 of Directive 75/268/EEC should be delimited without delay; OJ No L 128, 19.5.1975, p. 1. Directive amended by Directive 8/666/EEC (OJ No L 18, 14.7.198, p. 34), Regulation (EEC) No 797/85 (OJ No L 93, 3.3.1985, p. 1) and Decision 95/1/EC, Euratom, ECSC (OJ No L 1, 1.1.1995, p. 1). S

Whereas the permanent natural ndicaps in these areas result in higher production costs and prevent farmers from obtaining a reasonable income from their production at a level similar to tt available to comparable farmers in other regions; Whereas, in accordance with Article 2(1) of Directive 75/268/EEC, the Swedish Government s sent the Commission a list of communes and, where necessary, parts of communes likely to appear on the Community list of less-favoured farming areas, together with the information relating to the cracteristics of those areas; Whereas the information available shows tt all the areas situated north of the 62nd parallel are affected by very difficult climatic conditions the effect of which is to substantially shorten the growing season and to satisfy the conditions set out in Article 3(3) of Directive 75/268/EEC, as amended by the Act of Accession; Whereas the above-mentioned Declaration No 37 allows Sweden to include, pursuant to Article 3(3) of Directive 75/268/EEC, four of the five agricultural support areas existing in northern Sweden at the time of accession; Whereas certain adjacent communes may be classified within the meaning of Article 3(3) in tt they are affected by very difficult climatic conditions the result of which is a substantially shortened growing season and a maximum of 17 days with an average temperature not lower tn 5* Celsius; Whereas the steep slopes referred to in the second indent of Article 3(3) of Directive 75/268/EEC are defined as greater tn 2%; Whereas, where there is a combination of the two factors altitude and steep-slopes, as referred to in the third indent of Article 3(3) of Directive 75/268/EEC, a minimum altitude of 5 metres and an average slope of at least 15% are the cracteristic's selected; S

Whereas, in cases involving the presence of infertile land and where the economic results of farming are appreciably lower tn the average, as referred to in Article 3(4)(a) and (b) of Directive 75/268/EEC, the areas ve been defined using a standard index of yields of the main annual crops and the gross value added of holdings per annual work unit (GVA/AWU); Whereas the maximum value of the two average indices referred to above for each area s been fixed at 8% of the national average index; whereas, in specific cases, the average index of standard yields is not taken into account in respect of the less-favoured farming areas where fodder land within the meaning of Regulation (EEC) No 266/92 4 covers more tn 7% of the utilised agricultural area; Whereas the following indices ve been chosen in respect of low and dwindling population as referred to in Article 3(4)(c) of Directive 75/268/EEC: density not exceeding 5 inbitants per km 2 without reference to the national average which is only 21 inbitants per km 2, or an annual depopulation rate exceeding.5%, with the working population engaged in farming forming a significant proportion of the total working population of the commune; Whereas, for the definition of the areas affected by specific ndicaps which may be included among the less-favoured areas referred to in Article 3(5) of Directive 75/268/EEC the criterion selected is the existence of unfavourable natural conditions (the two indices below the national average) and of specific permanent ndicaps cracteristic of: a hilly area with fragmented agricultm<il holdings a humid and marshy area an area regularly subject to flooding or affected by a poor surface and ground water balance OJ No L 215, 3.7.1993, p. 49. yte

coastal or lake island areas, Whereas the total surface area of the areas referred to in Article 3(5) of Directive 75/268/EEC does not exceed 4% of the total surface area of the Member State; Whereas the nature and level of the above indices selected by the Swedish government for identifying the types of area notified to the Commission are in conformity with the cracteristics of mountain areas, less-favoured areas and areas affected by specific ndicaps respectively, as referred to in Article 3(3), (4) and (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC; Whereas Sweden s a large number of islands; whereas the list of smaller islands classified in accordance with Article 3(5) may be supplemented at a future date and may be the subject of a Commission Decision pursuant to Article 2(3) of Directive 75/268/EEC, as amended by Directive 8/666/EEC, HAS ADOPTED THIS DIRECTIVE: Article 1 The less-favoured areas of Sweden sll be those listed in the Annex to this Directive and sll be included in the Community list of less-favoured farming areas within the meaning of Article 3(3), (4) and (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC.

TYPE OF EXPENDITURE Subsidy to part-finance eligible public expenditure at a rate of 5% for Objective 6 areas (this is an assumption; rate still to be decided when decision to grant aid is adopted), and 25% for the remainder of the Swedish territory on the basis of current regulations. 7. FINANCIAL IMPACT Method of calculating total cost of operation The table in the Annex gives the latest figures sent by the department responsible in the Swedish Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry on 16th May 1995. Applying the criteria and ceilings in force, the proposal will result in classification of 1,87 million hectares as less-favoured areas, of which 65,5 hectares are eligible for the compensatory payments referred to in Articles 17 to 19 of Regulation (EEC) No 2328/91, with.584 million lu eligible in these areas. The average aid to be granted will be ECU 98/ or LU. Eligible public expenditure resulting from application of the compensatory allowance scheme is estimated at ECU 59.92 million per year, entailing costs to be borne by the Community budget of ECU 17.71 million, broken down between Objective 6 (ECU 5.46 million), Objective 5(a) in Objective 5(b) areas (ECU 4.35 million) and areas which are exclusively Objective 5(a) (ECU 7.9 million). These amounts are subject to the general financial implementation provisions of the Structural Funds and, in particular, Articles 29 to 36 of Regulation (EEC) No 2328/91, as last amended by Regulations (EEC) No 3669/93 and No 2843/94. Indicative schedule of commitment and payment appropriations Year Item B2-14 Items B2-11 Item B2-12 (Objective 6) (Objective 5(a)-5(a)) (Objective 5(a)-5(b)) 1995 ECU 5.46m ECU 7.9m ECU 4.35m 1996 ECU 5.46m ECU 7.9m ECU 4.35m For subsequent years, expenditure eligible for Community financing can be estimated as being of the same order of magnitude, since no structural cnge is foreseeable. 8. FRAUD PREVENTION MEASURES The compensatory allowance scheme for the areas defined in this proposal is subject to Articles 23 (financial control) and 24 (reduction, suspension and cancellation of assistance) of the Structural Fund coordination Regulation (Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88). Also, since this is structural assistance, Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1681/94 concerning irregularities and the recovery of sums wrongly paid in connection with the financing of the structural policies and the organization of an information system in this field, applies. is

Furthermore, the compensatory allowance scheme pursuant to Articles 17 to 19 of Regulation (EEC) No 2328/91 is also covered by the integrated contre! system established by Regulation (EEC) No 358/92. 9. ELEMENTS OF COST-EFFECTIVENESS ANALYSIS Objectives of the operation A significant proportion of the territory of this Member State suffers from permanent natural ndicaps, resulting in higher production costs and preventing farmers in those areas from obtaining a level of income from their produce similar to tt obtained by comparable farmers in other regions. Consequently, the ultimate beneficiaries of compensatory allowances in Sweden are farmers in less-favoured areas. The number of eligible farms is estimated by the Member State at 55,. Community assistance of the order proposed will entail direct compensatory aid of around ECU 1,9/year per farm, ECU 322 of which to be borne by the Community budget. Grounds for the operation Declaration No 37 of the Act of Accession recognizes tt the boundaries of the mountain and other less-favoured farming areas should be established without delay, on the basis of existing Community practice and also, in the case of Sweden, taking account of the northern latitude of tt country as a permanent natural ndicap affecting agricultural production. The Swedish Government s sent the Commission a list of municipalities likely to appear on the Community list of less-favoured farming areas, as well as information on the cracteristics of those areas. The nature and level of the indices adopted to define the types of area notified to the Commission correspond to the area cracteristics referred to in Article 3(3), (4) and (5) of Directive 75/268/EEC as amended by the Act of Accession, namely: 1. mountain areas, as well as areas above the 62nd Parallel and some adjacent areas treated as mountain areas insofar as they are affected by very difficult climatic conditions the effect of which is substantially to shorten the growing season (Article 3(3)); 2. areas less-favoured in terms of agriculture, cracterized by low productivity of the environment and low farming incomes (Article 3(4)); 3. less-favoured areas with specific ndicaps (small areas, hills, locations with water supply problems, coastal islands,...) and where farming must be continued in order to conserve the countryside (Article 3(5)). H

The application of these indices results in coverage of 51% of UAA of this country. The areas with specific ndicaps do not exceed 4% of the country's area. Pursuant to Article 2 of the Act of Accession, the Commission is obliged to assess this application and to forward it to the Council. It is not, properly speaking, a new operation and, under the provisions in force, there is no other alternative to this type of assistance or to Community funding. Monitoring and evaluation of the operation Since this is structural assistance, Articles 25 (monitoring) and 26 (assessment) of the Structural Fund coordination Regulation (Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88) apply. Coherence with financial programming Funding is to be provided from within the overall budgets of ECU 23m (1995 prices) for operations under Objective 6( 1 ) and ECU 168m (1995 prices) for the agricultural part of Objective 5(a) for the period 1995-1999 laid down in the Treaty of Accession and in the Commission decision on the allocation of Structural Funds between Objectives 2 to 5(b) for Sweden. ( 1 ) Currently proposed to be increased to Ecu 28m (9% of which = Ecu 252m)
