Support for fish sector • Support for mussels delivered (200 kg to 1,000 kg/year) with 0.07 euro/kg. • Support of 25% of fish breed value (4370 euro per farm max) • Support of 25% of the fish feed (3640 euro per farm max) 12

Other support • Inputs subsidies – (olive pest control 250 Euro/ha max) • Greenhouse fuel subsidy (60 to 70 euro per ha) (ceased) • Payments per farm (rabbits more than 100) 430 Eur euro/year (ceased) • Environment and animal welfare payments (organic farming 360 to 570 euro per farm certified) (ceased) 13

Discussions • Direct support is minor compared to RD support (on farm investment) • No area payment existing • Largest changes in RD support rather than Direct support • Low support in Direct support (5 measures) mainly on per animal support (harsh shrinkage) • Too many measures and too many changes (52 measures which 12 ceased to exist in 2013) • Currently 22 measures of which only 6 existed prior to 2013. • Policies has been following the high fragmentation (conditions from 0.4 Ha lowered to 0.2 Ha) • New government: focus from planting to improvement technology and postharvest • No LFA support • No Environment and animal welfare payments support 14
