SMASMA recommendation for recommendation for futurefuture
Investments oriented to standards of cross compliance (especially
investments in animal welfare, nitrate directive);
Target to cut-down of administration load;
Full decoupling;
Restructuring of production; farmers orientation on market;
Small farm orientation on diversification, agrotourism, bioenergy etc.
and hobby farming;
Large farm orientation on high productivity of production (incl. some
kind of environmental services);

Our recommendationOur recommendation
Higher preferences (points) in the evaluation of the application for
support according to the „certificated“ education training activities
(i.e.workshops on the farms abroad, further education, the best
practice).
Higher preferences (suplement of wage) points in evaluation of the
administrator according to the practical experience (i.e. practical visit
on the farm).
Further and stonger support of cooperation among the farmers, locals
and institutions.
The stable rules and longer time for implementation of new changes.
