Report
Highlights:
The European
Commission has proposed a Regulation to maintain levels of
support to the seed sector at their current levels for
2004/2005, providing €109m worth of subsidies. This proposal, if
adopted, would cover the interim period before the seed payments
are integrated into the decoupled Single Farm Payment, part of
the recent CAP Reform, starting in 2005. The proposals must now
be approved by the European Parliament and European Council.
The Commission
proposals to set aid rates for the seeds sector are needed in
the interim period before the seeds common market organization
reform enters into force in 2005.
The full text of the proposal in
PDF format, dated September 22, 2003, can be found at:
