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

430 Eur euro/year (ceased)

• Environment and animal welfare payments

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

To be done

• Categories: differences between investment
• n farm and input subsidies to be adressed

(plastic use in greenhouse)

• Add sources and other dettails
• Update prior to 2010 and update 2016?
• Other?
