UPDATE 4 MARCH 2020: The FAS workshop 2020, originally planned for 17-18 March 2020, is postponed due to the coronavirus outbreak.

*****

The JRC, in collaboration with DG AGRI and the Hungarian Ministry of Agriculture, organises the Farm Advisory System (FAS) Workshop 2020.

The objective of the workshop is to have open and constructive exchanges about the current implementation of the Farm Advisory System in the Member States.

Farm advice should play an important role in the next CAP after 2020 and it is interesting to take stock of the situation after the evolution of the FAS since 2007 and before the implementation of the reform.

Date and venue

The workshop will be held on 17 and 18 March 2020 at the Hungarian Ministry of Agricultural premises in Apáczai Csere János street 9, 1052 Budapest (Hungary).

Agenda

On the morning of 17 March 2020 there will be a plenary session with presentations by delegates from the Hungarian Ministry of Agriculture, European Commission, Member States and FAS experts.

In the afternoon, small group discussion tables will give all participants the opportunity to share their experience on specific FAS implementation themes. A list of topics and questions will be sent to registered participants before the workshop so that participants can be prepared.

The second day (18 March 2020) will be dedicated to a field trip.

The language in the workshop will be English.

European Commission (EC)

The European Commission is the executive body of the EU and runs its day-to-day business. It is made up of the College of Commissioners, 27 European Commissioners, one for each member state, who are each responsible for one or several policy areas. In addition, the 'Commission' also refers to the entire administrative body that supports the Commissioners, consisting of the Directorates-General and the Services.

The European Commission is the sole EU body capable of proposing new legislation. The Commission also performs an oversight function, monitoring whether European legislation is properly implemented in the member states. In the event of non-compliance, the Commission can coerce a member state to comply by starting a legal procedure at the European Court of Justice.
