Restructuring and Modernisation of the Food Sector and Rural Development The aid will be financed from the European Agriculture Guidance and Guarantee Fund (EAGGF). Agricultural producers will also benefit indirectly from intervention measures undertaken on the Common market, financed from the EU budget, and regional development programmes. Direct payments AGRICULTURAL POLICY The system of single area payments is a new solution, not applied in the EU-15 so far. The system in Poland is based on direct payments to agricultural land including: - a single area payment, financed in total from the EU budget constituting 25%, 30% and 35% in 2004, 2005 and 2006 respectively of payments applicable in the EU. The rate of payment to 1 ha of UAA will be determined by the European Commission based on Poland’s envelope (financial conversion of premiums and reference areas under crops covered by payments in the EU allocated for Poland in the Accession Treaty), - supplementary payments financed from the national budget and partly from the shift of UE funds for Poland allocated for RADP implementation within the following years 2004, 2005 and 2006 up to 55%, 60% and 65% for crops eligible for EU support (cereals, including maize for animal feedingstuffs, oilseeds, high protein crops, flax and hemp for fibre, pulses, tobacco, hops, starch potatoes) and fodder areas related to animal production covered by animal premiums in the EU (cattle, sheep, milk). It is estimated that the rate of a single area payment will be ca Euro 45 per ha, which corresponds to ca PLN 200 (depending on the Euro exchange rate), whereas that of supplementary payments will be determined by the Council of Ministers annually. The rate of supplementary payments depends on the type of crops and will range from Euro 60 per ha (cereals, oilseeds, high protein crops, flax, hemp, vetch, crops grown for seeds and meadows and pastures) to 220 Euro/ha for hemp, 50 Euro/t for starch potatoes and 5 PLN/kg for tobacco. Applications for direct payments in Poland were submitted until the extended deadline of 15 June 2004 (from 15 April); 85% of eligible farmers applied for such payments, for the area of 92% of UAA. In addition, under a single application for area payments, farmers applied for payments to farms in less favoured areas (LFA) (53% of the total UAA in Poland). It is estimated that Polish farmers will receive over PLN 6 billion annually as direct payments. On 1 May 2004 payments to buying in prices of extra grade milk were abolished and as from the second half of 2004 fuel vouchers, or payments to certified seeds as well as the hitherto forms of intervention on the pork market (intervention buying in) will be withdrawn. 64
AGRICULTURAL POLICY Rural Areas Development Plan (RADP) To implement the Plan, Euro 3 563 million will be allocated in 2004-2006, including Euro 2 866.4 million from the EU and Euro 696.6 million from the national budget. The following programmes will be carried out under the Plan: - structural early retirement pensions aimed at replacement of generations in agriculture and improvement of the agrarian structure. The structural pension rate is determined as a relevant percentage of the lowest old-age pension. Depending on the size of the farm to be transferred or the number of people (a farmer or a farmer and his wife), the basic amount of pension will range from 210% to 440% of the lowest pension (i.e. given that on 1 March 2004 the lowest pension in Poland was set at PLN 562.58, the structural pension will range from PLN 1 181 to PLN 2 475) - support for semi-subsistence farms, i.e. assistance for farms of small economic potential amounting to 1 250 euro/farm annually. After the third year, the beneficiaries will have to prove that they have expanded their production - support for farming in LFA to compensate for unfavourable natural conditions and to counteract depopulation of rural areas and the loss of their agricultural character. The support rate will range, depending on difficulties in land cultivation and its location, from 56 to 68 Euro/ha. LFA payments will be reduced for farms with an area over 50 ha and those with an area over 300 ha will not be eligible for such payments at all - support for agri-environmental measures and improvement of animal 65
