COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1974/2006
of 15 December 2006
laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005 on support for rural development by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD)
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005 of 20 September 2005 on support for rural development by the European Agricultural Fund For Rural Development (EAFRD) (1) and in particular Article 5(6), the second sentence of Article 19(2), Article 32(1)(b), the third subparagraph of Article 66(3), Article 70(1), and Article 91 thereof,
Whereas:
(1) |
Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005 established a single legal framework for the EAFRD support for rural development throughout the Community. The legal framework should be complemented by detailed implementing rules. |
(2) |
As regards consistency with measures financed by other instruments of the Common Agricultural Policy, detailed provisions for the exceptions for rural development support should be defined, notably those concerning the exceptions referred to in Article 5(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005. Rural development investment support should take account of any sectoral limitations or restrictions and avoid creating overcapacities in the sectors concerned. |
(3) |
There is a need to provide rules for updates of national strategy plans in terms of content, procedures and timing. |
(4) |
In order to allow the Member States and the Commission to put in place the new programming framework quickly and efficiently, the deadlines between the submission of rural development programmes and their approval by the Commission should be specified. |
(5) |

Moreover, specific provisions should be established for national frameworks referred to in Article 15(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005. |
(6) |
Only amendments involving significant changes in programmes, shifts of EAFRD funding among axes within a programme and changes to the EAFRD co-financing rates should be adopted by a Commission Decision. Other amendments should be decided by the Member States and notified to the Commission. A procedure should be established for agreement on such notifications. |
(7) |
To ensure effective and regular monitoring, the Member States should make available to the Commission a consolidated and updated electronic version of their programming documents. |
(8) |
Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005 lays down conditions for support to young farmers. The time by which those conditions must be fulfilled should be specified, including the duration of the period that Member States may grant to certain beneficiaries in which to comply with the occupational skills and competence condition. Since support to young farmers is subject to the condition that a business plan is submitted by the young farmer, detailed rules should be laid down as regards the business plan and the respect for its provisions by the young farmer. |
(9) |
As regards the conditions for early retirement support, specific problems arising where a holding is transferred by several transferors or by a tenant farmer should be solved. The non-commercial farming activity of the transferor should not be... |
