Burkes Burkes THE European Commission will include a Small Farm support scheme in the package of CAP reform proposals, to be published on Wednesday, October 12. This matter was discussed at a meeting held in Brussels earlier this week involving Farm Minister Michelle ONeill MLA and Georg Haeusler, Head of Cabinet of the EU Agriculture and Rural Development Commissioner. My clear understanding is that the proposed measure will be funded totally by Brussels, Michelle ONeill told Farming Life. It will be available as a standalone annual payment from within the Pillar One budget , and will not be tied in with cross compliance or other related measures. The Commission will provide general guidelines on what constitutes a small farmer. However, regions will have fexibility when it comes to deciding how the scheme will be implemented on the ground. The minister added: This is potentially good news for the north of Ireland, given our large number of small, family farms. The Farm Minister was also informed by Brussels that the proposed greening of the Single Farm Payment Scheme within Pillar One of the CAP will not result in the splitting of the available monies into separate funds. It was made clear that a future Single Farm Payment Scheme will be administered along similar lines to those that are currently in place. And as regards the anticipated greening measures, it is the Commissions intention to ensure that producers adhere to standards of management that constitute good farming practice. The minister continued: The meeting with Mr Haeusler took place at a very opportune time with the publication of the EU Budget proposals at the end of June and the upcoming CAP BY RICHARD HALLERON Saturday, July 23, 2011 Jonathan Bell, host of NI Texel Club open night on Monday, August 1, is pictured with Ruth-Ann Heslip, Billy Bennett and sheepdog Trevor at the launch of the open night.
