Download or read book Support for the Improvement of the Economic Value of Forests from the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development written by European Court of Auditors and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 60 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In 2007-13, EU budget (measure 122 of the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development) supported investments aimed to improve the economic value of forests owned by private persons or municipalities. The Court's audit revealed that only a few of the audited projects significantly improved the economic value of forests, either by improving the value of the land or the value of the stands. Weaknesses in the design of the measure and its monitoring mechanisms affect its successful implementation. Many of the audited projects concerned activities which would have been more appropriately financed using other specific EAFRD measures."-- Page [4] of cover.
Download or read book Innovation in EU agriculture written by Great Britain: Parliament: House of Lords: European Union Committee and published by The Stationery Office. This book was released on 2011-07-07 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agricultural innovation must be at the heart of both Europe and the UK's policy-making, in an effort to respond to a rising global population, to the challenges of climate change and to food price volatility. Farmers cannot be expected to rise to these exceptional challenges without significant help. The EU collectively, and Member States nationally, must do more to help solve these problems. There are three main areas that the European Union Committee strongly urges the EU to consider in the current debate about the future of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and innovation policy: the European Commission must significantly increase investment in scientific research in the agricultural sector by reducing the proportion of funding devoted to the CAP and diverting it to agricultural research by the EU's Research Programme; all countries must ensure that innovative knowledge is fully communicated to the agricultural sector via better farm advice systems; the innovation-hostile environment of Brussels must be overcome.
Download or read book Is EU Support for Preventing and Restoring Damage to Forests Caused by Fire and Natural Disasters Well Managed written by and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "In the 2007-13 programming period, the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) provided support for restoring forestry potential in forests damaged by natural disasters and fire, as well as for preventive actions. The Court's audit concludes that the support was not sufficiently well managed and that the Commission and the Member States cannot demonstrate that the intended results were achieved in a cost-effective way. Preventive actions were not sufficiently targeted. The audit found actions which were not appropriate to achieve the objectives of the measure. The cost-effectiveness of the actions financed was not adequately ensured. Finally, the monitoring tools in place did not allow the Commission and the Member States to adequately assess the efficiency and effectiveness of the measure."--Publisher's description.

Set against the background of a changing world, driven by significant social, environmental, and economic developments, in Europe and elsewhere, there is a growing need for an improved understanding of forest governance and how to analyse the forest policymaking processes.

In so doing, this book presents a set of timely and rich case studies relevant to the study of forest governance. In the final chapter, it puts forward an innovative and systematic method for selecting the most appropriate analytical tool that accounts for the constraints and objectives involved in monitoring forest policy. The book is accompanied by chapter-level exercises and online Support Material which details the various approaches, theories, and frameworks discussed in the book, providing direct links back to individual chapters, discussion points, and a step-by-step guide for how each method can be applied. This book will be an essential read for forestry students and scholars, and professionals and policymakers working on forest policy and forest management.

Book excerpt: "Member States implement a large part of the EU's rural development policy by providing grants towards the costs of investments and other projects undertaken by farmers, rural businesses, associations and local authorities. The Court found that some Member States had poorly designed systems for checking that the costs of these grants were reasonable. Workable and cost-effective approaches existed but were not widely followed. The Court outlines good practices found in the course of its audit, and concludes that there is considerable scope for making real savings in rural development project grants in the 2014-20 period by applying these good practices."--Publisher's description.
