Justification related to the necessity for the support for the newly introduced Community standards / existing standards for young farmers supported under Measure 112 The support for the newly introduced Community standards is granted to the agricultural producers, in order to allow an adequate period of time in which they can be prepared for achievement of compliance with these standards. Although the original deadline for the adoption of most of the new standard was at least the date of accession, it appeared clearly that the preparation takes more time. In addition the meeting standards is a significant financial resource consuming activity without economic return and for this reason agricultural producers don’t have a will to invest in this activity. The introduction of most of the listed standards will contribute to the environmental protection. This demonstrates that it is necessary the agricultural producers to be supported for this activity. The main possibility of assisting the agricultural producers is RDP 2007-2013. In the three year period of grace for the above mentioned standards, the agricultural producers can apply for support and can finish their investments which are necessary to comply with these standards.

Attachment 3 (Measure 143 Provision of Farm Advisory and Extension Services in Bulgaria and Romania)

National Agriculture Advisory Service Information On Naas Functions, Capacity And Qualification

1. Administrative capacity and functions of NAAS

NAAS was established at the end of 1999 under an Act regulating the activities of the National Center for Agrarian Sciences. Actually the service is functional since the end of 2000 in accordance with the its Rules of Procedure regulating its structure and activities [State Gazette 55 of 8.08.2000, as amended in 04.2002 and 07.2006].

NAAS is a legal entity mainly funded by the state budget through the national budget allocation to the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Supply (MAFS).

According to the latest changes in its Rules of Procedure, the mission of NAAS can be summarized as follows:

“The service carries out its activities following the government agrarian policy by providing farmers with up-to-date information, specialized extension and consultancy services and expert support to ensure effective and competitive agriculture in line with the established EU standards.“ NAAS has 28 regional offices, located in each of the district centers in the country. 141 employees in total work currently at NAAS, including 124 in the specialized administration and 17 in the general administration. 99 of the specialized administrators work in the 28 Regional Agricultural Advisory Services (RAAS). An Analytical Laboratory within the specialized administration in Sofia offers to the farmers all necessary plant, fodder and water quality analyses free of charge. Each RAAS disposes of 3 or 4 experts specialized in livestock breeding, plant growing and agrarian economics. It has to be mentioned that the structure contains also some smaller units, enabling it to cover all 28 administrative districts. The RAASs implement the policy of providing advice throughout the respective region with special focus on consultancy to agricultural producers. The only bottom-up activity is to propose participation of officers in organization/participation in regional seminars and workshops with farmers, as well as in other types of local forums.

NAAS is the only MAFS structure specialized in the provision of advisory services to Bulgarian farmers, covering broad range of issues and providing the consultancy free of charge. NAAS is a centralized state agency whose management develops and defines the service policy in accordance with the priorities of MAFS and the existing regulations and programming documents. The overall management of the regional offices in all aspects of extension activities, including financial and operational management, is conducted in a “top-down” approach.

RAASs cooperate with the regional directorates of MAFS, the regional units of SFA, local authorities and administration.

The reports for activities implemented in 2006 and the data in the Development Concept for 2007-2013 point out that NAAS serves more than 14 000 farmers, which is 18% of the farmers registered under Ordinance 3/1999 [which amount to 77 100].

55

In view of the continuously increasing workload of the experts in the Regional Agricultural Advisory Services, NAAS envisages to increase the number of employees in RAAS in a short-term period in order to improve the services to the agricultural producers and to embrace as many beneficiaries of advisory services as possible.

2. Qualification of NAAS staff In the last few years since the establishment of NAAS, all experts from the specialized administration have undergone a process of continuous training and professional upgrade.

Attachment 2 to Measures 211 and 212

Methodology for Calculation of Payments for Farmers in Less-Favoured Areas The methodology for less-favoured areas (LFA) compensatory payments is based on the lower income from agricultural production in comparison to favoured areas, due to natural restrictions for agricultural use of the land (unfavourable climate influence, landscape, etc.).

By the agricultural land bonity estimation is measured the soil and climate suitability for growing up of agricultural crops. By the evaluation of the soils corrected with the correcting coefficients for the climate, the erosion, stone coverage, the marshness and the salinization is measured the final estimation of the ecological conditions is measured in relative values from 0 to 100. On this base, agricultural lands are grouped in 10 categories.

The whole country’s territory is mapped in scale 1:10 000. In Bulgaria there are 18 groups and sub-groups of soils. On the base of the extended soil and climatic information are defined 50 agro-ecological regions (AER), (Map 1). These 50 AER are sub-divided into smaller units, by soil-ecological units, according to the variation of the extents of each of the above-mentioned factors.

Based on the soil differences the agricultural land is grouped in 50 agroecological regions), The grouping is realized on the base of quantitative and qualitative criteria as structure of the soil coverage, presence of moisture in the vegetation period, durability of the warm weather in the region, extreme manifestation of some factors – climate change, sea level, landscape particularities etc

The soil differences are the lowest level for grouping the agricultural land for the need of compensatory payment calculations in the LFA. Nevertheless, the AER does not coincide with any other level of administrative division of the country. All the other information, necessary for compensatory payments calculations, is gathered by administrative levels – settlements, municipalities, district, planning regions, etc.

In order to sort the agricultural land by soil differences, AER or different types of LFAs the settlements are sorted out by ACCESS. The information was provided by the Excecutive Soil Resource Agency. The necessary data base is provided by the National Statistic Institute, the System for account information (FADN) at the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Supply, Agro statistics Directorate and Plant Growing Directorate at the same Ministry, the Agro-market Information System (AMIS) Ltd., the National Agricultural Advisory Service (NAAS), the Municipal Services Agriculture and Food Supply, the six pilot municipalities in the LFA and by the scientific researches of soil scientists from the Institute of Soil Science, climatologists from the Institute of Hydrology and Meteorology at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and economists from the Institute of Agricultural Economics, as well as other numerous researches, which will be cited for each factor influencing the level of foregone incomes.

The compensatory payments are calculated through the margin between the incomes per hectare in LFA and favoured areas. The margin is equal to the differences in the yields of the agricultural crops in these areas. Similar methodology is used in many EU member states – Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Germany, etc.

106

In general the algorithm for the LFA payment calculation could be described in the following way: the yields are obtained by multiplying the bonity score of each agricultural crop by the corresponding actual yield per crop. The structure changes in dependence on the soil-ecological units and the suitability of the soil and the climate for their cultivation. The yield multiplied by the expert price of the crop gives the assessment of the gross production per hectare. The gross production minus the total costs (variable and fixed) is equal to the net income per hectare. It is calculated separately for the arable land and pastures and meadows and is weighted through the accepted ratios of arable land and pastures and meadows in 1 structural hectare. The difference between incomes in the mountain and the favoured areas indicates the income foregone, due to the natural constraints for the agricultural land use; or this is the amount of the compensatory payments in mountain regions. The difference between the incomes in favoured and other LFA gives the amount of the compensatory payment in the other LFA.

Crop rotation is used to define the land productivity per ha. Crop-rotation is made for the most important crops, grown in the country, for which bonity scores are available and the favorable conditions for them exist both in favored and less favored areas (cereals, maize, sunflower, potatoes and lucerne). Standard structure is used, defined in conformity with the relative average share of each crop for the country and the requirements for maintaining the land in Good Agricultural and Environmental Condition (GAEC) (canopy crops must be 40 % minimum per hectare; the monoculture growing of sunflower more than two years is forbidden, etc.). The share of the pastures and meadows in the LFA is bigger that their share in the other areas (10% in the favored areas; 30% in the other LFA and 40% in the mountain LFA, while the average for the country is 20%). Although the starting structure in the beginning of the algorithm is the same, the factual at the end is different, because it has changed twice.

The yields of the basic agricultural crops are measured in kilograms production per hectare. They are calculated by multiplying the bonity scores for each crop, with the actual yield for one bonity score, obtained for a sufficient long-term period (over 30 years). The yields received are then weighted through the croprotation structure. The sum of each of the crops yields gives the land productivity per ha. Land productivity is calculated by soil differences, AER and groups (favoured, mountain and other less favoured areas).

The prices of agricultural products are defined by experts opinions of the Institute of Agricultural Economics, based on the market prices in Bulgaria in the last 3 years. For this purpose is used an information from the National Statistic Institute, the Agrostatistics Directorate at MAFS, Plant Growing Directorate at MAFS, the AMIS, the NAAS, the Municipal Services of MAFS, the 6 pilot municipalities in the LFA etc. Surveys were carried out among the sub-divisions of the NAAS and the Municipal Services Agriculture and Food Supply in the country.

The gross production per ha is obtained by multiplying the yields of the 6 selected agricultural crops by the price per each crop. They are obtained for the different soils, AER and modules – favoured, mountain and other less-favoured areas.

The National Statistic Institute in Bulgaria does not gather data production costs by crops anymore. The Farm Accountancy Data Network (FADN) at the Agrostatistics Directorate at the Ministry of Agriculture and Food Supply started surveys of such data collecting, but the excerpt (sample) is too small to be representative and to be used independently The necessary and typical costs for agricultural crops were defined by the Institute of Agricultural Economics, on the basis of standard and predominating technologies with an average level of intensification. The costs are defined expertly,

107

based on technology, elaborated by the Institutes of the National Centre for Agricultural Sciences, NAAS, Municipal Services of MAFS, Agricultural Development Directorate at MAFS; through surveys, made by the Municipal Services of MAFS. In addition, the levels of the actual costs for each crops are taken into account, collected by FADN system and also in the 6 pilot LFA municipalities.

The production costs include variable costs (the costs for seeds, fertilizers, pesticides for plant protection and other material costs) and fixed costs (for fuels and energy, water, salaries and social insurances, other insurances, rents etc.). The production costs per hectare are differentiated between the favoured and the mountain areas. In the mountain ones it is 10 % higher. This is justified by the existing differences in factors, limiting their level. On the base of studies of the Institute of Agricultural Economics it is defined that the production costs in mountain regions are more than 10% higher than the ones in the favored areas. However at this stage there are no conditions for accurate and precise monitoring of the level of the different factors (altitude, slope, etc.), and therefore only 10% higher production costs are taken into account. The gross production minus the total costs (variable and fixed) gives the net income per hectare. The result is weighted by the accepted ratios for the different modules – per ha of arable land for favoured, mountain (90%, 70% and 60%) and per ha of pastures and meadows (10%, 30% or 40%). That way the income per structural ha is formed by the sum of the percentage of the income for the arable land plus the percentage of the income of the pastures and meadows.

On the basis of the algorithm explained for calculating the compensatory payments in the LFA a proposal is made for the mountain areas the compensatory payments to be 90 EUR/ha, and the degree of compensation is 77%, and for the other LFA - 50 EUR/ha – degree of compensation – 66%.

Attachment 3 to Measure 212

Farming Land Category (Summary) The whole territory of the country has been mapped with soil maps in scale 1:25 000, and about 80% of it is mapped also on maps in large scale - 1:10 000.

On the basis of the vast soil and climate information 50 agro-environmental areas have been formed, out of which 40 include agricultural land fund, and 10 include forest land fund. The division into areas has been made on the basis of quantitative and qualitative criteria, the more important of them being the texture of the soil cover, the presence of moisture during the vegetation period, the availability of warmth in the area especially in the vegetation period, extreme manifestation of certain factors in climate change, the altitude above sea level, especially the relief, and others.

These areas are grouped in seven groups, which to a large extent correspond to the main soil-climate zones and sub-zones in the country. The basis of the grouping is the aggregate of the area-forming phenomena, which precondition the specific identity of the natural conditions in the areas. In this sense the above-mentioned grouping may be considered to be an element of the spatial differentiation in agriculture, the particular features of which predetermine to a large extent the agricultural production characteristics in each of the different territories.

The categorization of the farming land of Bulgaria has been made on the basis of the Methodology for Working on the Cadastre of Agricultural Land, as well as a methodology for assessment of the environmental conditions. The categorization was introduced for the whole country in 1980. The methodology was developed by a team comprised of: Evgeni Petrov, senior research fellow Ist degree, Ivan Kabakchiev, senior research fellow Ist degree, Paunka Bouzhinova, senior research fellow, Yanka Georgieva, senior research fellow I degree, Estreya Hershkovich, senior research fellow Ist degree, Dilko DIlkov, senior research fellow Ist degree, Ana Stoeva, research fellow. A revised methodology was developed for the process of maintaining the cadastre.

It includes the following indicators:

1. Assessment of the soil conditions.

– Mechanical composition.

– Width of the humus layer (in cm).

– Width of the soil (in cm).

– Texture coefficient (ratio of the quantity of clay particles from layer B towards layer А).

– Soil reaction (рН in water).

– Content of humus in the fallow-land (in %).

– Level of underground water.

2. Assessment of the climatic conditions.

- Assessment of the moisture reserve.

- Assessment of the availability of warmth.

3. Combined assessment.

109

The soil properties, which precondition the development of plants, may be assessed separately from each other depending on the intensity of their impact. An assessment of each soil indicator according to the needs of the crop is made expressed in algebraic values from 0 to 100. The optimum indicators are of value of 100, and all others are of smaller value. The final assessment of the soil according to the needs of a certain crop is obtained as the average mean of the values of all soil indicators used for the assessment and is expressed as the so-called “Soil score”, which is given in relative and comparable numbers varying from 0 to 100. When one of the soil indicators assessed has a value of 0, then the total soil score is also equal to 0.

The soil scores thus obtained, although comparable to each other, are only relative and cannot serve as the only basis for determining whether the particular soil is suitable for growing a certain type of crop, because beside the soil the development and yield of the pants are influenced by other factor s of nature as well. That is why the score for each of the soil depending on the other environmental conditions (climate, relief, irrigation, level of salinity, swamping, stony-texture, etc.) is adjusted by multiplying it by adjustment coefficient prepared in advance. The obtained result of the adjustment is the so-called FIELD BONUS VALUE, in other words the soil score in each particular case is thus suitable to be applied directly for agricultural practice purposes.

On the basis of the soils scores adjusted by the adjustment coefficients for climate, extent of erosion, stony-texture, swampiness and extent of salinity, the final environmental conditions assessment is obtained, i.e. the Field Bonus Value (0 – 100) is determined for farming without irrigation. For irrigated farming the field bonus value is adjusted by an irrigation adjustment coefficient.

On the basis of the field bonus value an AVERAGE BONUS SCORE MARK is determined for each section of land; the average bonus score mark represents the overall agronomic value of this section expressed in numeric terms. It is calculated as the average mean of the bonus scores of 10 crops selected out of the 18 agricultural crops included in the five main groups. Their specific characteristics are taken into account: e.g. in the case of cereal crops wheat is taken with tripled bonus score, because it is a major crop with over 30% occurrence, not requiring any special environmental conditions.

The thus obtained assessment scores are grouped in the 10 categories of farming land according to the following Table.

Category of the farming land

Field Bonus Value (bonus score)

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Above 90 80-90 70-80 60-70 50-60 40-50 30-40 20-30 10-20 0-10

The higher the category of the farming land (1) the larger range of different crops may be grown on it, and vice versa, the lower the category (10), only a limited range of crops may be grown.

Code of good agricultural practice to prevent pollution of waters by nitrates from agricultural sources

The Code of Good Agricultural Practice was developed in compliance with the requirements of Ordinance No. 2/16.10.200 on protecting waters from pollution by nitrates from agricultural sources issued by the Minister of environment and waters, the Minister of health and the Minister of Agriculture and Food Supply promulgated in SG 87/24.10.2000.

The Code of Good Agricultural Practice shall compulsory be implemented by the farmers on the territories of the sanitary zones around water sources and facilities for drinking and household water supply and around water sources of mineral waters used for healing, prophylactic, drinking and hygienic needs.

The farmers whose farms fall within the territory of a vulnerable zone (these are regions where the waters are polluted by nitrates from agricultural sources through leaching or drainage) are obliged to implement the Code of Good Agricultural Practice as part of the Program for limitation and liquidation of pollution in the vulnerable zones. The farmers are obliged also to agree to observe the others, more specific and stricter measures, included in the Program for limitation and liquidation of pollution in the vulnerable zones. The vulnerable zones are determined with Order No.RD-795/10.08.2004 of the Minister of environment and water.

120

For the farmers whose farms are not on the territories of the vulnerable zone or on the territories of the sanitary zones around the water sources and the facilities for drinking and household water supply and around the water sources of mineral waters used for healing, prophylactic, drinking and hygienic needs the observing of the Code of the Good Agricultural practice is voluntary.

Irrespective of where the farms are situated the following prohibitions refer to all farmers:

1. They are obliged not to apply fertilizers in belt II of the sanitary zone of the water sources for drinking and household water supply where the contents of nitrates is higher than 35 mg/l;

2. They are obliged not to store organic and mineral fertilizers in the adjacent lands of water storage basins or rivers or on the lands of the riverside flooded river strips;

3. They are obliged not to throw out residues of fertilizers and packaging in the surface waters and in abandoned wells;

4. They are obliged not to wash packaging, special clothing and equipment, related to the fertilization, in rivers, dams and other surface water bodies.

Part I and II below set out the additional compulsory requirements within NVZ's

Part I. Use of nitrogen containing fertilizers 1. Nitrogen fertilizers and manure shall not be applied over the period 1 November-31

January.

2. Fertilizers shall not be applied on areas free of crops or covered with perennials until 15 February.

3. Provided new orchards are created it is allowed to apply manure until 15 November as an exception.

4. Fresh manure shall not be applied. The best will be to store the solid manure for 6-8 months before its application. The liquid manure shall be stored for at least 4 months before being applied.

5. The manure shall be applied before the soil cultivation (in autumn and in spring) as part of the preparation for sowing or planting of the crops.

6. To avoid the risk of nitrate surplus in the plants and in the soils the quantity of the applied nitrogen compounds of organic and mineral fertilizer over the year shall not exceed 17 kg of nitrogen per decare for all crops, except for some intensive crops (vegetables, irrigated maize).

7. As an exception for some intensive crops (vegetables, irrigated maize) nitrogen compounds of organic and mineral fertilizer up to 21 kg/decare can be applied.

8. When applying more than 12 kg active substance of nitrogen per decare the fertilizers rate shall be split into two – 2/3 shall be applied before sowing or before planting and the remainder shall be used for feeding.

9. On soils with light mechanical contents (sandy soils) the nitrogen rate shall be split into two or three parts in order to avoid leaching of nitrates into the lower soil layers and their going down into the shallow underground waters.

10. When applying nitrogen containing fertilizers on terrains lacking plant cover, they shall immediately be buried by cultivation, disking or earthening up.

121

11. When using nitrogen containing fertilizers attention shall be paid to their spreading on areas where there is a great danger of surface run-off and deep leaching.

12. In order to avoid leakage the tanks, cisterns and pipelines shall be maintained carefully when using liquid manure.

13. When fertilizers are spread by planes ground objects shall be placed and the strength of wind shall be taken into consideration – the best will be to do the spreading in quiet weather.

14. On flat terrains nitrogen containing fertilizers shall not be applied on completely frozen soil as well as on soil which is completely or partially covered with snow cover deeper than 5-6 cm. Application of nitrogen containing fertilizers shall be undertaken only as an exception.

15. Nitrogen containing fertilizers shall not be applied during precipitations and after that while the land is sill water saturated.

16. Nitrogen containing fertilizers shall not be applied on naturally oversaturated soils and on flooded soils (except on rice fields).

18. When irrigating vegetables and other crops with manure diluted in water the distance to the water basins shall not be less than 5 m on flat terrains.

19. Nitrogen containing fertilizers shall not be applied on terrains with a gradient above 6° with completely or partially frozen soil and on soil covered completely or partially with snow cover.

20. When applying nitrogen containing fertilizers on terrains with a gradient above 6° the nitrogen rate shall be divided into parts in order to avoid the taking out of nutrients along the slope. Up to 2/3 of it shall be applied before the sowing or before the planting and the remainder shall be used for feeding.

21. The application of manure on terrains with a gradient above 6° shall be done before the soil cultivation.

Part II: Storage of nitrogen containing fertilizers (organic and mineral) Storage of organic fertilizers

1. Storage of manure A. General rules for the storage of manure

• Depending on the size of the farm, of the number of animals and the manner of raising them the best will be that each farm avails with separate facilities for storage of both types of manure – solid and liquid.

• The storage facility shall have a leak-proof bottom and shall be built in a way which will prevent the run-off of wastes from it. The facility shall be checked regularly and when defects are found immediate actions shall be undertaken to remove them.

B. Specific rule for storage of manure according to its type:

a) Solid manure

• Because of the rule not to use manure over the period 1 November-31 January the capacity of the facilities shall be sufficient for storing it for at lest 3 months + 1 month additionally (in case of a very cold and long winter), i.e. for at least a 4-month storage. Such a capacity of the facilities is sufficient for animals grown on pastures. In cases of animals grown indoors the capacity of the facility shall be sufficient for not less than 6 months.

• When constructing the facility a number of factors shall be taken into consideration like the number of the raised animals, their species, the duration of the storage period (depending on the way of raising animals - on pastures or indoors) and the quantity of the bedding material used.

• The solid manure shall be kept for 6-8 months before being applied on the soil. Over this period the processes of fermentation, mineralization, disinfection and odour removing take place. The organic mass transforms into semi-ripened state as a result of which its physical and agrochemical qualities improve. The humidity of the semi-ripened manure is 55-65% and its consistency is suitable for spreading with manure spreading trailers.

• The best will be to store the solid manure in special manure storages. When they are missing it can be stored on leak-proof platforms on the farms. On flat terrains and on specially built manure storages or pits the risk of pollution is decreased and the manure can be used easier.

• The effluent from the stored solid manure has also to be collected and stored.

• Facilities for storage of solid manure shall not be constructed close to water bodies. The distance to them shall be at least 20 m.

b) Liquid manure

• The liquid manure shall be used after storing it for at least 4 months.

• The farm shall avail with a well constructed facility or a tank. Its capacity (volume) depends on the number of animals and on the duration of the period of storage (at least 4 months).

123

• The storage of the liquid manure shall be done in facilities, specially constructed for this purpose depending on specific characteristics like the type of the animal shed where the animals are being raised.

• Facilities for storage of liquid manure shall not be constructed close to water bodies. It is recommended that the distance to them shall be at least 20 m.

2. Storage of silage and effluent

• All effluent from the silage shall be collected and stored. They contain high concentration of nitrates and therefore they are a potential source of serious pollution. This requires the existence of leak-proof channels to convey all effluent from silage to drain in a tank constructed in such a way as to prevent leaching in the soil.

• Silage produced from semi-dried grass and packed in bales in nylon packages usually does not cause effluent. As a precaution, however, these bales shall be stored in places with soil deep enough and at a distance of at lest 20 m from water bodies.

3. Storage of mineral (inorganic) fertilizers

• Mineral (inorganic) fertilizers shall be stored in special storage facilities constructed and equipped according to the fire safety requirements.

• When a special storage facility exists it shall be divided into two parts: for bulk and packaged fertilizers. Each type of fertilizer shall be labelled.

• The figures created with packed fertilizers shall not be placed tightly to the walls of the storage facility. The distance to them shall be at least 25 cm.

• Saltpetre shall be packed. They shall not be stored in bulk.

• Other bulk fertilizers (potassium, phosphorous) may be stored on heaps in different forms but mixing shall not be allowed.

• When special storage facility is missing the fertilizers shall be stored in shelters and storage facilities adjusted for storing – the roofs shall be waterproof, the floors shall be leak-proof and raised above the level of the terrain at a height of 30-40 cm, the walls shall be well plastered, ditches shall be dug around the storages to convey the effluent safely.

• Storage of bulk mineral (inorganic) fertilizers on open platforms is not allowed.

Methodology for Calculation of the Agri-environment Payments

Prepared by a Team headed by prof. Ivanka Yankakieva from the Institute of

Agricultural Economics

This annex presents the methodology used to calculate the payments for participation in the agri-environmental measure under the Rural Development Plan in Bulgaria for the period 2007-2013. The purpose of the calculations is to justify and determine the amounts to be granted to farmers for their participation in individual schemes of the agri-environmental measure. The calculation of the payments is based on an approach defined in Council Regulation (EC) N 1698/2005.

Maximum level of payments laid down in the Annex of Regulation 1698/2005:

- Annual crops: 600 EUR/ha

- Specialized perennial crops: 900 EUR/ha

- Other land uses: 450 EUR/ha

- Local breeds in danger of being lost: 200 EUR/LSU

The calculation is based on a comparison between the baseline practice and the voluntary agrienvironment commitments to be taken by the farmers.

The payments cover:

• Income foregone as a result of reduced production intensity or resulting from preserved extensiveness of production and/or;

• Additional costs resulting from activities carried out over and above usual farming practice;

• Costs savings resulting from not undertaking certain activities;

• Additional income based on the higher prices of the quality products.

1. General elements for all calculations

Data sources used for the calculations for Agrienvironmental payments The yields per crops in the conventional production are based on the data of the National Statistical Institute (NSI) published annually for the levels achieved before and after the agricultural reform. In the organic production the decrease of the yields compared to the conventional one is determined according to the existing experience in Bulgaria – around 20-25% average (data provided by Bioselena foundation, Ecofarm association, Plovdiv agricultural university).

The production prices are defined by experts taking into account the real levels they have reached over the last 3 years in Bulgaria, gathered by the National statistics institute, Agricultural market and information system, FADN, MAFS agrostatistics department. The production expenditures are made on the basis of the prevailing technologies in the country at

125

average level of intensification. For this purpose technological sheets were developed where the different technological operations and the needed labour expenditures were described, as well as the raw materials and materials. The technological sheets used were developed by the Institutes in the National Centre for Agrarian Science (NCAS), Ministry of Agricultureand food Supply (MAFS) and National Agricultural Advisory Service (NAAS). and are academically recognized. Concerning the organic production, consultations were made with organic production experts (Bioselena foundation, Ecofarm association, Plovdiv agricultural university and Association for organic apiculture). The costs include costs for seeds and seed material costs, fertilizers and plant protection materials costs, labour costs, control and certification costs.

The prices of labour and raw materials are based on the data of the NSI, AMIS (Agricultural Marketing Information Service), and MAFS in the last three years. Same prices of raw materials, labour, mechanized services, etc. are used for both conventional and organic production for all agricultural products in order to avoid the differences in expenditures, as a result of their different evaluation. Labour prices were differentiated at three levels: - simple labour, complex labour (when special skills and knowledge is required) and mechanized labour. The rates for man-day or man-hour are calculated on the base of the average salary in agriculture for the corresponding profession in the last 3 years.

The expenditures for control and certification of the organic production are differentiated in groups of crops (fodder, pastures, perennials, oil bearing and medicinal, and vegetables) and are based on the prices of the 2 recognized certifying bodies in Bulgaria in 2006.

At the moment Bulgaria does not have the data to differentiate the payments for agri-environment commitments which will be applied nationally on a regional basis or according to homogenous agricultural regions. Efforts will be undertaken to establish improved data sources for agri-environment purposes during the implementation of the current RDP.

2. Specific elements of the calculations for the different agrienvironment sub-measures.

2.1. Organic farming The farmers, subject to limitations aimed at production of organic production will receive financial support in compliance with the EU regulations. It will compensate the losses from the additional expenditures and incomes foregone as a result of these limitations. Calculations also take into account the savings and additional incomes received by organic products.

- Organic agriculture (OF1)

The premium is determined on the basis of the differences in the additional expenditures and the income foregone when growing crops in organic manner compared to the conventional per ha of agricultural land. The level of payments is defined for 5 groups of crops:

- Arable land;

- Permanent pasture

- Perennials – fruit trees and vineyards;

- Medicinal and essential crops.

- Vegetables from open air crops

The rate of the main premium for organic production for the arable crops (fodder) is defined on the basis of a crop rotation of 4 crops and in case of perennials, where crop rotation is not applied, as the average of 3 crops with greatest economical importance for the country and

126

with greatest degree of application of the organic production. The structure of the fodder crop rotations is defined by the main and the typical for the country crops by observing the agrotechnical and the economic requirements for their alteration: wheat, barley, maize and lucerne.

Main premium for the perennials is calculated on the basis of the additional expenses and income foregone from the representatives of the 3 groups of perennials: seed (apple); shell (cherry) and berries (raspberry).

The payments for the medicine and essential oil crops were calculated on the basis of the oil-bearing rose, lavender and pepper, and the vegetables – tomatoes and pepper.

The crop rotation for the fodder crops are 4-year as it is shown in Tables 1 and 2.

Table 1. Crop rotation for the fodder crops

The rate of the additional costs are calculated taking into consideration the following:

1. Bigger expenditures for seeds, planting material and propagation costs in the case of perennials and the requirement for them to be certified.

2. Increased labour costs because of the increased number of cultivations as a result of the decreased expenditures for fertilization and plant protection chemicals, of the irrigation, etc.

3. The annual expenditures for control and certification of the production should also be calculated for the organic production.

Incomes foregone is the result of the:

1. Lower yields of the production from the agricultural crops per ha because of the decreased level of intensification, i.e. decreasing the fertilizers and the plant protection chemicals;

2. Changes in the structure of the agricultural crops aimed at including a leguminous crop which in a natural way increases the soil fertility because of its ability to bind the nitrogen from the air and to accumulate it into the soil;

127

3. Leaving of a strip which is not cultivated in order for it to serve for isolation from the nearby crops. It was decided that this strip will be 3% in Bulgaria.

Additional incomes result from the higher prices of organic produce. The prices for certified organic produce are based on prices on Bulgarian market. For the moment the market for organic products in Bulgaria is limited and difference in the prices for organic products is not much higher than the conventional ones.

Savings result from the lower costs for fertilizers and plant protection materials in organic farming compared to conventional farming systems.

Organic apiculture (OF2) For the calculations of organic apiculture the payment rate is calculated on the basis of additional income and additional costs.

Additional costs are for:

- feeding of the bee familiy with honey instead of sugar as it is in conventional apiculture;

- control and certification costs;

- More expensive medicines and disinfectants

Additional income is based on the higher price of organic honey.

Organic farming in conversion Payment rates for organic farming in conversion were calculated on the same basis as for the organic farming taking into account that the products in conversion cannot be sold as organic ones. Percentage of compensation is introduced for them (between 55 – 60%)

2.2. Management of high nature value farmlands The methodology used is based in general to the additional costs needed for fulfillment of the management requirements. If additional income is generated from the activity in cases when the received product could be used the difference between the different additional costs and additional income is calculated. For HNV 4 the payment rates are based on the data gathered by the Bulgarian society for protection of birds.

2.2.1. High Nature Value Farmlands (HNV 1 and 2) Additional costs result from:

- reseeding practice with seeds of local provenance

Income forgone results from:

- shortening of the grazing period;

- 1 mowing less;

2.2.2. High Nature Value Farmlands (HNV 4) Income forgone results from:

128

- Lower yields resulting from: no use of fertilizers and plant protection materials; leaving uncultivated; unploughed or areas with bare soil; retaining winter stubbles on fields with spring-grown crops; no cereal harvesting before 31 July

Savings result from no purchasing of pesticides and mineral fertilizers.

2.3. Preservation of traditional orchards (LF3) The methodology used is based in general on the additional costs needed for fulfillment of the management requirements

Additional costs are related to:

- grass mowing – 2 times;

- tree cutting for sanitary and clearing purposes.

The yields are for domestic use only so they do not generate additional income for the farmers

2.4. Traditional livestock breeding

2.4.1. Preservation of local breeds in danger of being lost for farming (LB1) Methodology for calculation of agrienvironmental payments for preservation of local breeds in danger of being lost for farming is calculated for the different livestock cow, ewe, goat, swine – etc. as a difference between the income foregone and savings in the usual practice in livestock breeding (not the intensive livestock breeding) and breeding of endangered local breeds..

Income foregone resulting from the lower productivity of the breeds endangered for being lost for farming

Savings result from:

- Lower costs for fodder due to the lower live weight and productivity of local breeds;

- Lower need of feed for the calves, lambs, piglets;

- Difference in the fodder composition – for local breed the part of the raw fodder(grazing, hay, etc.) is higher and the part of the compound feed which is more expensive is lower;

- Lower costs for veterinary services, water, transport, etc.;

- Lower labour costs.

Additional costs result from:

- Pedegree certificate;

- Higher losses from predators (due to grazing in high mountain pasture).

2.4.2. Traditional shepherd systems (mountain pastoralism (LB2)

It is assumed that 1 LU will contribute to the management of 1 ha grassland. All of the costs presented are calculated for livestock units following the ration 1 LSU = 1 ha. The grazing period is minimum 3 months from May to October.

Payments calculations are based on the additional costs needed for taking and grazing the animals in the high mountain pastures.

129


- Labour;

- Taking the animal to the pasture and back;

- Maintenance of the pasture territory;

- Transport of materials;

- Veterinary services (higher costs for a vet to come to the high pasture);

- Higher mortality;

- Additional costs for dogs to keep the herd from predators.

2.5. Soil and water protection

2.5.1. Crop rotations for soil and water protection (SW1) Calculation of payments is based only on calculation of the additional costs related to introduction of additional intermediate winter crop .


- seeds;

- preparation of the soil and sowing;

- ploughing of the winter cover.

Additional costs for soil sampling and preparation of Nutrient management plans are not taken into account since it is assumed that they will be done by NAAS free of charge.

2.5.2.Soil erosion control (SW2): All of the costs for theese activities are calculated on an annual bases, regardless the period for which the improvements are done. The annual costs are calculated taking into account all of the costs related to the required practice divided by the period they are going to be used or managed.. In most of the cases only additional costs are incurred. However savings and income foregone when they exist are also taken into account. Costs for soil erosion control are based on the existing data in the Pushkarov Institute for Soil Samples and Excecutive Soil Resources Agency


- Additional cultivation – grass cutting, sowing, soil packing, ploughing, etc.;

- Seeds;

- Grassing of buffer strips;

- Marking of furrows and machine time needed for their tracing;

- Improvement of grass cover and it productivity

- Cleaning pastures from stones

Income foregone comes from: -transformation of the arable land to pasture

130

Savings are for:

- lower use of fertilizers

Additional incomes come from:

– hay from pastures (following conversion from arable to pasture)

Approach for Designation of HNV Farmlands in Bulgaria and Map of HNV Farmlands in Bulgaria Approach used for definition of HNV farmlands in Bulgaria

I. The main data base used for mapping of HNVF in Bulgaria is CORINE land cover 2000. The digital layer with CORINE land cover 2000 in WGS 1984 UTM Zone 35N projection is added to the created work in GIS environment. Form the whole CORINE 2000 data base for the territory of Bulgaria which consists of 44 classes different types of land cover, through SQL are selected 13 classes associated with HNVF according to the expert opinion of the working group. The result is a new GIS layer with these 13 CLC classes. Following the expert group’s requirement, from classes 211 (Non-irrigated arable land) and 222 (Fruit trees and berry plantation) are chosen only those polygons which coincide with the Natura 225 and 114 sites. For that purpose, from the new 13 CLC layer are selected only 211 and 222 classes and the resulted layer is overlaid with the Natura 2000 layer. A new layer containing only CLC and Natura overlapping polygons is derived through a special “object cutting” function in GIS (clip feature). This way, the resulted layer fulfills the requirement of presence of only those 211 and 222 CLC which are in Natura 2000 sites.

II. The second step of the GIS process of mapping the HNVF is done through SQL selection of Natura 2000 data base which was added as a layer to the working GIS environment. Selected are types of habitats threatened by abandonment of extensive agricultural practices. The selection is done for the represented in Bulgaria types of habitats. As a result is achieved a Natura 2000 layer with chosen habitats (152 objects) on the territory of Bulgaria.

III. The third step is adding a IBAs GIS layer for the territory of the country. From this data base a SQL selection is made according to the birds of European conservational interest (SPECs) represented in agricultural lands. They were also used for defining of the IBAs with HNV. The resulted layer shows 29 IBAs meeting the project criteria.

IV. The fourth step of the GIS process is consecutively adding of several data base layers.

- A digital layer of the grasslands in Bulgaria is added in which the semi-natural grassland communities dependant on continued agricultural activities (mowing and grazing) are represented: all the semi-natural grassy areas in or outside Natura 2000 coverage. There are 2172 objects in this layer.

- The expert group has chosen mammals, reptiles, amphibians, invertebrates and butterflies depending on continuing extensive agricultural activities. The habitats of all of the above mentioned species are added to the GIS environment as resulted layers derived from SQL

132

selection of the Natura 2000 habitats layer. As result 6 layers of data bases for the representation of the following appeared:

o triton (Tritutrus), containing 46 objects;

o European Souslik (Spermophyllus citellus), containing 78 objects;

o Marbled Polecat (Vormela peregusna), containing 29 objects;

o Romanian Hamster (Mesocricetus newtoni) containing 14 objects;

o viable tortoises populations, depending on extensive pastures and meadows, containing 105 objects;

o selection of butterfly species indicative for extensive agricultural land utilisation, containing 29 polygones.

V. At this stage of the project goals implementation, all the achieved layers – CLC, Natura 2000, IBAs, grasslands, habitats of triton, souslik, marbled polecat, Romanian hamster, tortoise and butterflies are consecutively overlapped with the existing database of the physical blocks. The Bulgarian Land Parcelation and Identification System (LPIS) is used as in the whole EU - for identification of the land parcels which are integrated in the Integrated Administration and Control System (IACS).

According to the definition in the Law for Support of the Agricultural Producers physical block is: “an integral plot of land limited by sustainable topographic elements”. It maight be used for agricultural purposes by one or more farmers and might consist of one or several agricultural plots.

The physical blocks’ database is integrated in the following manner for the purposes of the HNVF mapping:

Potentially associated with HNVF physical blocks are defined. They correspond to codes 1, 2, 4 and 5 of the following table:

Land utilization definitions of the physical blocks

code abbreviation name Contents

1 AL Arable land ⎫ lands recognized by the orthophoto map as cropped, ploughed (fallows), yield collected, rice-fields, greenhouses, strawberry or vegetable gardens with total area equal to or bigger than 0.1

2 PC Permanent crops ⎫ lands recognized by the orthophoto map as vines, orchards, other permanent crops with total area equal to or bigger than 0.1

3 MUUT Mixed utilization in urban territories

⎫ agricultural areas inside the settlement’s borders, which might be arable land, permanent crops and permanent grasslands in the same time with total area equal to or bigger than 0.1

4 PG Permanent grasslands lands recognized by the orthophoto map as permanent grassy areas which might be:

natural meadows; pastures, pastures with shrubs, forest pastures, glades

with total area equal to or bigger than 0.1; 50% of the areas must be permanently covered by grass and the trees and shrubs have to be with lesser than 50 trees per ha density to meet this definition (exception for shell trees and orchards)

5 MU Mixed utilization ⎫ lands recognized by the orthophoto map as areas limited by permanent

133

borders, but with mixed land utilization – arable land, greenhouses, strawberry or vegetable gardens, permanent crops (including partially eradicated permanent crops), utilized natural meadows, pastures with total area equal to or bigger than 0.1

6 OAL Other agricultural land

lands recognized by the orthophoto map as evidently abandoned arable land (which is not cultivated for more than 2 years);

agricultural lands, which havenot been included in physical blocks with codes from 1 to 5 due to a reason of not meeting the minimum size (bigger than 0.01 but smaller than 0.1 ha)

7 OAL Other than agricultural land use

buildings, facilities and their surrounding nonarable lands; afforested areas, groups of trees or shrubs; dams, lakes, water courses, channels, bogs, lagoons and their surrounding

nonarable lands; landslides, rocks, sands, gravels, ravines, ditches, hills, etc.; railroad territories, highways, local roads, airports, military and forbidden

zones.

8 UU Unclear utilization ⎫ lands, with total area equal to or bigger than 0,1ha, which could not be undeniable classified to one of the above mentioned codes due to: lack of ortho-photo mapping, bad mapping image due to fog or clauds or military zones.

These codes are separated in one layer for the whole country. The polygonal objects from the layers identified in the previous steps (1 to 4) of the HNVF mapping project are spatially united with the physical blocks’ layer and the resulted layer is the HNVF one.

When the two layers are isolated (the one of HNVF overlapped with CORINE, Natura 2000, IBAs, pastures and habitats and the other physical blocks with a legitimate code) a spatial intersection between them is done. The first layer (HNVF one) is the “template”, the basis and the second (the physical blocks) is the overlaid and undergoes an analysis. As a result a new layer is derived which represents the physical blocks (or the overlapping parts of them bordering to HNVF polygones) which under at least one of the categories of lands, associated with HNVF.

Because of incorrect borders in the data bases and due to the large referent scale of the physical blocks data base (1: 1000) in this analysis (similarly to the previous) are manually removed the areas smaller than 1 ha which resulted from incorrect border in the HNVF layer. The final result is a polygonal layer of HNVF with incorporated all the criteria for its correct identification. This layer is compatible wit LPIS and IACS.

The figures listed in the table below and the map show the data of the actual area of HNVF (not the whole physical blocks). For the implementation of measure 214 are made the following modification of the layer:

- Code “Arable land”: only if the HNV arable land in the physical block is more than 50% then the whole physical block is regarded as HNVF;if it is less than 50% the physical block is not regarded as HNVF.

- Code “Permanent grasslands”: If there is HNV grasslands in the physical block the whole physical block is regarded as HNVF.

Methodology and Data base for Calculating the Establsihment and Maintencance Costs for Afforestation

Prepared by a Team leaded by Prof. Ivan Paligorov from Forestry University, Sofia.

The annex presents the methodology used to calculate the payments for afforestation measure under the Rural Development Plan in Bulgaria for the period 2007-2013. The purpose of the calculations is to justify and determine the amounts to be granted to beneficiaries for afforestation of their abandoned land, which are based on standard costs. The calculation of the payments is based on an approach defined in Council Regulation (EC) 1698/2005 and Commission Regulation (EC) 1974/2006

Maximum level of payments laid down in the Annex of Regulation 1698/2005:

• 70% outside of areas referred to in Article 36(a)(i), (ii) and (iii) • 80% in the areas referred to in Article 36(a)(i), (ii) and (iii); • 100% when beneficiary is a rural municipality.

According to the Regulations mentioned above only establishment costs are eligible. For afforestation of abandoned land, maintenance costs up to five years are eligible too. Eligible establishment costs include: - preparing technological plans for afforestation, - site or land preparation, - transport and temporary keeping of the seeds and/or seedlings, - seedling costs, - labour costs for planting - temporary fencing costs, if required.

Eligible maintenance costs covers:

- Repair seeding or repair planting;

- Tending in young afforested land up to 5 years after afforestation.

Methodology for calculation of all payments The methodology is based on the existing Ordinance No 17 for afforestation and inventory

of new established forests, published by the Minister of agriculture and forestry (SG No.67 from 15.08.2000), which gives the terms and the set of rules for afforestation, tending of new established forests and their inventory. In Bulgaria, there is still not statistical data available about market prices for labor costs and material costs for afforestation activities. Almost all nurseries are state owned. Private nurseries are under developing without any market presence. Furthermore, in Bulgaria market of private forest contractorsstill does not exist. Almost the whole afforestation is done by private companies. In practice, SAF is the only body who assigns tasks for afforestation (organizing tendering procedures) and the afforestation is done in state

139

forests only. For this reason, data from SAF have been used for all calculation of the standard costs. These data from the SAF have been used on basis of real market prices (the contracts with the private companies) as an average data for the last three years (2004-2006). Due to the fact, that afforestation costs depend on the situation on the spot, a wide spread of data is available. In general, afforestation in the mountains is more expensive than in the lowlands. But in special cases, the opposite is possible too. Special problems with grass or shrubs in the lowlands increase the costs for cleaning the field compared to the mountains. Therefore a differentiation between mountains and plains is made, mainly according to the slope. Due to the ongoing modernization in forestry holdings, expert interviews have been done with 14 scientists and 8 officials of forestry high schools in Bulgaria (see Setzer et al 2007). The objective of all interviews was to identify the correct labor costs and the amount of working hours for implementation and the validation of data from the SAF. The expenditures for transport of the workers are taken into account for each activity with the exception of the seedling costs. That is due to the fact that this kind of transport is usually on a long distance (20 km and more) to places without public transport, out of the road network and that can be reached with heavy duty transport only. The rate of the establishment costs is calculated taking into consideration the following:

Preparing technological planes for afforestation: Technological plans are needed for planning tree species composition and the technological requirements. The technological plan is going to be done by an external consultant or a member of the SAF. Without a technological plan, private land owners have no idea about technical aspects of afforestation. The costs are based on average costs for one plan. In general: the larger the area the lower the cost for the technical plan are. For the calculation of these standard costs, an average area for afforestation of 10 ha has been assumed. Also the time needed for preparation is taken from the account of the SAF and the amount of the average payment per hour, day and month. Site or land preparation: These costs cover all costs for land preparation. The costs of these activities depend on the real situation the spot. High grass needs more technical support than areas without any grass. Calculations of the University of Sofia show that costs expended by the SAF are average costs in Bulgaria. These costs include average labour expenditure for the last three years (2004-2006) from the accounts of the SAF and also the average amount of payment from the NSI for the year 2004 - 2006. Transport and temporary keeping of seedlings: As mentioned above, in Bulgaria exist predominantly state nurseries. Land owners have to take seedling from these nurseries and to transport all seedlings to the border of the field which will be afforested. This needs time and costs for transport. These expenditures are calculated on the basis of the whole expenditures for seedling transport for the last three years (2004-2006) divided by the afforested area for that period. The expenditure for temporarily keeping of seedlings include only labour, which is calculated on the basis of the accounts of the SAF for the same period and also the average amount of payment from the NSI for the year 2004 - 2006. Seedling costs: Seedlings costs are based on average prices from state owned nurseries for the last three years (2004-2006). Expert interviews underlined the costs mentioned in the calculation. For a better application, a differentiation between conifers and broadleaves has been calculated. In fact, there

140

is a difference between different broadleaves tree species, but oak will be the most used tree specie according to the national Ordinance No 17. The same ordinance gives the number of the seedlings to be afforested. This approach is covered by experts from the University of Sofia and from the SAF. For this reason, average costs for all broadleaves have been calculated. Costs for conifers are similar in Bulgaria. There are only very small differences between conifer tree species which is the reason not to differentiate them. Labor costs for planting: Labour costs are based on information from the SAF for the last three years (2004-2006) and from export interviews in forest high schools. Stopwatch studies at the University of Sofia have shown the time for planting new forest stands. Based on these data an average time has been calculated. The average amounts of payment are taken from the NSI for the year 2004 - 2006. Temporary fencing: Temporary fencing is needed in all areas in Bulgaria. Without fencing deers and goats will destroy afforestation. The prices for labor and material are calculated on basis of data from the SAF as well the standard calculation at the University of Sofia. These expenditures include and the costs of the materials on the basis of the accounts of SAF for the last three years (2004-2006). The rate of the maintenance costs ate calculated taking into consideration the following: The real amount or maintenance costs depend on the real situation on the spot. It do not exist a general rule in which case replanting costs occur. For example, after dryness more replanting is necessary than in humid periods. In order to restrict the maintenance costs, they have been restricted to the first three year after afforestation. The average loss of seedling of 10% is calculated on basis from the national SAF. The average loss in the years 2004-2007 was 11.4 % of all afforestation.

The calculation of costs for lightening is based on data from the SAF for the last three years (2004-2006). It includes data about labor costs and material costs (e.g. petrol). The real costs depend on the situation on the spot, e.g. in terms of grass. If there is more grass due to a good nutrient accommodation, more lightening is necessary. Time studies have shown data similar to the data presented by the SAF.

Opinion on Environmental Assessment No. 3 – 2/2007

Pursuant to Article 26, paragraph 1, point 1 of the Ordinance on the Conditions and Order for Carrying out Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programs

I HEREWITH AGREE WITH

Rural Development Program 2007 – 2013

Requested by: Ministry of Agriculture and Food Supply Rural Development Directorate

On the following grounds:

The measures outlined in the Program are aimed at improvement of the competitiveness of agriculture, forestry and food-stuffs industry, preservation of natural resources, protection of the environment and improvement of the quality of life in rural areas.

The implementation of the Program will result mainly in positive impacts on the environment with benefits for the population quality of life, maintaining the attractiveness of the landscape and protection of biodiversity. For identifying potential adverse impacts the environmental assessment of the Program suggests measures for reduction and prevention of any such impacts.

As a result of the conducted consultation no justified objections based on lawfulness have been submitted.

And with the following measures:

I. Measures for prevention, reduction or as complete as possible elimination of potential adverse impacts from the implementation of the Rural Development Program (2007 – 2013) on the environment

1. The projects foreseeing investment proposals/plans, for which an EIA/EA (pursuant to the Environmental Protection Act) or a specific environmental evaluation (pursuant to the Biodiversity Act) are to be approved only after a positive decision is made on the EIA/opinion on EA and taking into account the recommendations in the conducted assessments, as well as the decision on the EIA/opinion on EA.

2. In carrying out the activities under the Program only the best available technology should be employed and the good agricultural and forestry practices should be applied.

154

3. The establishing of new perennial plants should be allowed only on an area of arable land and should not be allowed on an area of grass habitats (meadows, pastures, steppes) or wetland areas. Establishing perennial plans on land with inclination of over 10o should be encouraged with a view to prevention of soil erosion.

4. No support should be given to the setting up of drainage systems in wet meadows or karst areas, as well as such adjacent to protected wetland areas or places, where endangered species of flora and fauna occur. In such territories agro-environmental schemes should be set up, which are to be managed with a view to preserve nature.

5. Concerning the activities for measure 125 “Improvement and development of the infrastructure related to the development and adaptation of agriculture and forestry the support should be targeted to improvement of the existing infrastructure, and especially that for forest roads, whereby considerable impact on pastures and meadows should not be allowed.

6. The activities related to building and reconstruction of road infrastructure, drainage systems, encouragement of tourism services, construction of new buildings and diversification aimed at non-agricultural activities, should comply with the territorial planning regimes for protected areas pursuant to the Protected Areas Act and with the requirements for preservation of protected areas and species pursuant to the Biodiversity Act.

7. The need of new construction and reconstruction of irrigation systems should be accompanied by justification in compliance with the application of new technology, which ensures water saving, energy efficiency, and should be nature-friendly (erosion prevention).

8. Retraining of water river basins should be in compliance with the requirements for preservation of protected areas and species pursuant to the Biodiversity Act.

9. Recovery of forests cut in the recent years in the upper streams of the rivers should be encouraged with a view to improvement of the water regime.

10. No support should be given to afforestation of pastures and meadows belonging to the agricultural and forestry fund.

11. The beneficiaries should be provided with training on the application of the environmental rules and norms.

12. The preparation of documentation for application of measure 313 Encouragement of tourism activities should include requirements for not allowing large-scale construction or construction of buildings with architectural style differing from the local one.

13. In designing sites and facilities under the measures foreseen in the Program consideration should be given to the boundaries of monuments of culture and their protection zones, as well as all territories having protection pursuant to a specialized statutory act.

II. Measures for monitoring and control of the application of the Rural Development

Program 2007 – 2013 1. The Ministry of Agriculture and Food Supply (through the managing authority – the Rural

Development Directorate) should prepare a report on the monitoring and control in the course of the Program implementation, including on the measures for prevention, reduction or elimination of environment damages resulting form the Program implementation, which report should be submitted to the MEW every three years of the course of implementation of the Program, not later than 15 April of the year.

2. The monitoring and control of the environmental impacts in the course of the Program implementation should report also on the following indicators:

155

Indicator Measurement unit Notes Areas with changed designated purpose of the land Area (ha)

Transformation of forests and pastures into arable land Area (ha)

Summarized statement of MAFS on SEA with information on Decision in accordance with Article 29 of the Ordinance on

conditions and rules for implementation of environmental assessment of plans and programs.

In accordance with Directive 2001/42/EC and Ordinance on the Conditions and Order for Carrying out Environmental Assessment of Plans and Programmes of the Ministry of Environment and Water the MAFS submitted in August 2006 a request for opinion from the competent authority on the necessity of a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) of the Rural Development Programme.

The competent authority (MoEW) in its letter № 04-00-2368 from September submitted a Decision № ЕО-5/2006 identifying the need to carry out of an Environmental assessment describing the ground for this decision and providing with requirements and scope of the necessary EA. The MoEW’s Decision was published on the MAFS web site.

EA report was elaborated by independent experts registered according to Ordinance № 1 on the rules for establishment and maintenance of public register of the experts dealing with environmental assessment and EIA and the order for entering applicants into the register. MAFS elaborated a schedule for public consultations with stakeholders and third parties wich was adopted by the competent authority. Formal and non formal consultations took place with MoEW as well as with stakeholders who were included preliminary in the Working groups for elaboration of the Programme. In these working groups were included representatives of the centralized administration, local authorities, business, academies, environmental NGOs and sector associations. In November 2006 Rural Development Directorate spread a questionnaire among the members of the working groups which was published together with the Draft RDP and the Environmental Assessment Report on the web site of the MAFS. Information for the stakeholders was spread (including place, time and access to the above mentioned documents and feedback.

In December 2006 was carried out the public hearing of the Draft Rural Development Programme 2007–2013 and the draft Environmental assessment Report in which 141 representatives of different stakeholders participated.

In the EA Report the evaluators propose the following alternatives: contemporary status without Programme implementation (zero alternative); implementation of the measures as they are proposed in the Programme (alternative I); measures implementation with taking into account actions for decreasing the negative impact on environment (alternative II).

The evaluators consider the zero alternative as unacceptable because the lack of the Programme will intensify the existing environmental threads from agriculture; the alternative I was not recommended due to the reason that some of the measures might increase the negative impact on some of the environmental components. The evaluators recommended alternative II as most favorable in terms of environmental components.

In February 2007 MAFS submitted a request to MoEW to issue EA statement as a competent authority. Attached to the request MAFS submitted the Report on the environmental assessment, the RDP, non-technical summary, documentation of the public consultation results with stakeholders and third parties.

The competent authority in its statement № 3-2/2007 adopted the Rural Development Programme 2007-2013 and prescribed grounds and two types of measures – for prevention, decrease and elimination of potential negative impacts from the Programme implementation and

157

measures for on-going monitoring and control during the Programme implementation. Each third year MAFS through the Managing Authority (Rural Development Directorate) have to elaborate reports on monitoring and control, including on actions taken for prevention, decrease and elimination of potential negative impacts from the Programme.

No changes in the aims or measures of the Rural Development Programme resulted from the environmental assessment.

The first group of measures proposed in Decision № 3-2/2007 of MoEW will be taken into consideration within the definition of criteria for project selection and the second group of measures will be included in the general Programe monitoring.

The received recommendations from the competent authority are reflected in the final version of the strategic environmental assessment report.

ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT of the Rural Development Program 2007 – 2013

S U M M A R Y

The environmental assessment (EA) of the Rural Development Program (RDP) is part of the Ex-Ante evaluation of the program and aims at helping to achieve environment protection through the implementation of the program and providing sustainable and integrated rural development.

The current report on the environment assessment was prepared by a group of registered independent environmental experts led by the senior researchers Dr. eng. Nelly Gadjalska and Mrs. Irina Mateeva, from the ex-ante group, under the methodological guidance of Dr. Giordano Angle, as a part of the Ex-Ante evaluation of the Rural Development Program.

Legal Framework

This part of the environmental assessment has been prepared according to the Common Framework Guidance note D on monitoring and evaluation of the European Commission concerning the requirements for the ex-ante evaluation of rural development programs 2007 – 2013, which clarifies the requirements concerning the Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA).

The contents of NRDP SEA follows the indications of directive 2001/43/EC with detailed recommendations in Annex 1 and 2.

Institutional Framework

Rural Development Program is coordinated by Directorate Rural Development at the Ministry of Agriculture (MAF) which is the institution responsible for the preparation of the program documents for rural development over the period 2007-2013 (incl. the National Strategic Plan) in compliance with Art. 74 of Council Regulation (EC) No. 1698/2005 and Art. 2 of the Law on Support of the Agricultural Producers.

Rationale for the preparation of the Rural Development Program (RDP)

In respect to the European funds planning process, the Agency for economical analysis and prognosis has developed a National Development Plan for Bulgaria (2007-2013) and a National Strategic Reference Framework (NSRF). The National Strategic Plan for Rural Development and the Program to it, all of which cover the period 2007-2013, are developed in compliance with the requirements of Council Regulation 1698/2005 and the Community strategic guidelines on rural development.

Action period - 1 January 2007 – 31 December 2013

NRDP is elaborated at national level and will be implemented on the whole territory of the Republic of Bulgaria. The National Strategic Plan for Rural Development (NSPRD) and the RDP over the period 2007-2013 will be financed by the EAFRD. National co-financing will be provided as well.

Description of the Main Objectives of the Plan Based on the Community Strategic Guidelines for rural development over the period 2007–2013 for the implementation of the main EU priorities related to jobs creation,

162

growth and sustainability (Lisbon, Göteborg), for guaranteeing the other EU policies (Cohesion, environment protection, especially the co-ordination with the Structural Funds and the management of natural resources in the rural areas of Bulgaria), and finally taking into consideration the socio-economic conditions prevailing in the rural areas of Bulgaria, their strengths and potential, the following strategic objectives have been set in the National Strategic Rural Development Plan for the period 2007-2013:

• Development of competitive agriculture and forestry sector and innovation-based food-processing sector.

• Protection of natural resources and environment of the rural areas.

• Encouragement of the job opportunities and improving the quality of life in the rural areas.

The first objective of the National Strategic Plan is aimed at increasing the competitiveness of agriculture, food and forestry sectors. This objective addresses the first Community Strategic Guideline for rural development. This strategic objective is to be achieved through measures proposed under Axis 1 supporting modernisation and restructuring of the agri-food chain, the forestry and primary processing of forestry products. The strategic approach includes increasing the productivity and the competitiveness of agriculture, food processing and forestry by supporting:

• Modernization of technologies and introduction of modern practices for land and water management;

• Promotion of innovations in the agri-food chain for production of new high value products

• Raising skills levels and knowledge of the labour force;

• Modernization of the farms and forestry with regard to their environment impact;

• Adjustment of farm structures and land ownership structures;

• Improvement of agriculture and forestry related infrastructure.

Axis 1 will encourage the growth of the productivity and competitiveness of agriculture, forestry and the food processing industry and thus will contribute to the implementation of the strategic objectives of Lisbon aimed at economic growth.

The second objective targets the preservation of natural resources and the improvement of the countryside. The measures under second priority axis will contribute to better land management and protection of the environment, sustainable and integrated development of the countryside, conservation of biodiversity, traditional agricultural practices and local breeds. The creation of alternative sources of income will help for the diversification of rural economy. This objective is contributing to the achievement of the European strategic priority: “Improvement of the environment and the countryside”.

The support for sustainable management of lands and forests, and the conservation of biodiversity and traditional agriculture for the Natura 2000 sites will contribute to preserve the attractiveness of the rural areas. It will also create preconditions for the development of alternative economic activities: tourism, crafts, leisure time activities and, last but not least, will lead to the development of sustainable means of living for the population in rural areas.

The agri-environment activities will contribute to: protection of high nature value farm lands; biodiversity conservation and restoration in those areas; maintenance of

163

landscape and low-intensity practices for creating orchards with local varieties; decrease pollution of waters with nitrates from agricultural sources by introducing adequate crop rotation; prevention of soil erosion in the river water basins; protection of local breeds endangered by extinction and development of organic production.

Support to organic production is based on the opportunities offered by the increased demand of high quality and healthy foods both at the domestic and the international market, on the suitable soil and climatic conditions and the country traditions, as well as on the decreased use of fertilizers and pesticides over the last decade. This will contribute to the nature resources protection and will create new sources of income for the local population.

Compensating agricultural producers who are also owners of lands within the NATURA 2000 sites will be crucial for the implementation of the measures for the conservation of the different habitats and species included in the local management plans for these areas.

Considering the problems, identified in Chapter 1, protection of soils from pollution and degradation are among the priorities of the second strategic objective. The support for the activities related to the sustainable agricultural land use in the less favoured areas (areas where agriculture farming conditions are hampered compared to the other areas) is another important step in forming new thinking in terms of rural environment and rural landscape conservation. Support to the less favoured areas and the mountain areas as part of them is of great importance for Bulgaria coming out of the fact that nearly 60% of the territory of the country is regions with deteriorated natural characteristics hampering the agricultural activity. As a result of the natural impediments the income of the farmers in those regions is considerably lower that the average income. Compensation of the incomes of those producers is important for preventing the process of depopulation and for maintaining the landscape in these regions.

Axis 2 measures cannot resolve all problem issues related to environmental and landscape protection. Therefore a balanced and integrated approach, identifying landscape and nature conservation as a priority is needed for the measures under the other axes as well.

Second Objective will contribute to the implementation of the international commitments of the country under the Kyoto Protocol decisions, and the conventions for biodiversity conservation, to combat desertification and climate changes.

The activities supported with compliance with the second strategic objective – biodiversity conservation, water protection, sustainable land and natural resource use, will contribute to achieve the EU Goteborg objective for sustainable development.

The third objective aims at increasing job opportunities and improving the quality of life in rural area. This objective completely addresses the third strategic priority of the Community, and namely “improving the living conditions in rural areas, and promoting the diversification of rural economies”.

There are vital rural communities, with well protected nature, rich historical and cultural traditions in the rural areas in Bulgaria. In order to achieve long-term economic and social stability in these regions the current tendency to depopulation and economic decay has to be discontinued. The strategy of the government in this direction is based on the development of the rural areas though creating new employment opportunities and better conditions of life.

Access to main services for the population, as well as the infrastructure in the rural areas are of special importance to keep the population and to create employment

164

opportunities. Therefore considerable investment assistance has to be provided to improve the infrastructure and provide services for the rural population.

Lack of employment opportunities is a major factor for the low participation of the population in the work force, high rate of unemployment and low income in the rural areas. Therefore the entrepreneurship and the business development in the rural areas have to be encouraged through investments in non-agricultural activities for the farmers and the local people. Support should be directed to business undertakings based on the local resources such as: rural tourism and crafts, as well as to undertakings based on innovations and knowledge, use of renewable energy sources and better management of the biomass.

Measures supporting the activities for achieving third strategic objective will contribute to the diversification of the rural economy and for the creation of working places and thus will reflect the EU strategic objectives from Lisbon.

Development of the rural areas will be supported also by the creation of social capital and by acquiring skills for the development and implementation of local approaches for development. Such innovative approaches will be supported though the Leader axis.

The Program with measures for the rural development over the 2007-2013 period has been developed to help achieve the strategic objectives of the National Strategic Plan (2007-2013), integrated in the three priority areas of the Community.

The RDP is in line with other national plans and programs The coherence of the RDP with the national policies and with the Community strategic guidelines is described in p. 1 of the RDP and was assessed by the experts carrying out the environment assessment with regard to the EU and national strategic documents and action plans. RDP was harmonized with the other national plans and programs and the relations are clearly marked in the different documents. The compliance of the measures proposed in the Program is justified with the objectives of the National Environmental Strategy.

Current status of the environment and problems related to the NRDP

The favourable environmental conditions are an important factor influencing the socio and economic development of the rural areas. The complete analysis and the assessment made of the current situation of the environment in the rural areas allowed the main environmental problems to be defined caused by the agricultural and forestry activities carried out in those regions which have a negative impact on the opportunities for economic development and on the conditions of life. How the environment would develop over the period 2007 – 2013 without the implementation of the NRDP

Prognosis was made for the development of the environmental components over the period 2007 – 2013 without the implementation of NRDP. The prognostic assessment was carried out in the following way:

Identification of the impacts (matrix of the relationships between the identified activities and the components). From the problems and the positive sides identified for each component the activities which cause the current state of the environment were derived and they are presented in the matrix of the relationships. The activities linked with the environmental components are marked with „√ „ ;

Description of the impacts (impact matrix). Degree of impact is described only for activities for a relationship with the environment status was identified. The

165

prognostic development of each component was assessed taking into consideration the current status and the tendencies in the development of the current state based of the intensity of the respective activity while assessing if it impacts negatively or positively and the degree of the impact using a scale.

Impact assessment is presented as level of importance

The implementation of the current policy of land use in agriculture and forestry has in general a negative impact on the environment due to pollution, deterioration of the quality of the environmental components and loss of biodiversity.

During the last 15 years the use of chemical fertilizers and chemicals decreased significantly in comparison with the previous years; drainage systems did not operate at many places. Due to the privatization large monoculture fields were transformed into mosaic agricultural landscape with a diversity in the land use. All these caused partial restoration of the quality of the natural components and stabilization in the status of biodiversity. But with accession to the European Union and the intensification of the agriculture and forestry with attention only on the conventional practices as well as the land consolidation the effects of the extensification will soon be eliminated and even cumulate the negative impact of the current policy. The impacts on environmental components are presented in the Table 8.3.3: Environmental characteristics of the areas likely to be significantly affected by the implementation of the NRDP The land structure in Bulgaria is mainly dominated by forests – 33.47%, farmland – 57.44% (78.05% arable land) and water flows and water areas – 1.81%. As the NRDP is designed to be implemented in rural areas in the sectors of agriculture and forestry, its implementation has the most significant influence on the environment in terms of territorial coverage – about 92% of the land territory of the country. Therefore the farmland (arable land and grasslands), the forests and wetlands are the habitats which are likely to be significantly affected by the Program. About 5% of the territory of the country are protected areas, but only around 2.7% are strictly protected. At least 23% of the land territory is expected to be included in NATURA 2000 network (including large part of the Protected areas system). The NRDP is expected to have direct influence on non-strictly protected areas, as well as on the areas of NATURA 2000 network.

Existing environment problems related to NPRD The favourable environment conditions are an essential factor influencing the social-economical rural development. Unfortunately, a number of ecological problems in these regions have a negative impact on the opportunities for economical development and on the conditions of life in these regions. The major ecological problems related to the rural areas and to the NPRD respectively, are as follows:

• Loss of habitats and biodiversity

Change of the land use such as conversion of grasslands into arable land, orchards, vineyards or forests, as well as deforestation, drainage and land re-parceling cause loss of habitats and biodiversity. Removal of the landscape features also leads to loss of habitats.

• Land abandonment

The type of land use is the most significant issue in agriculture and forestry, which could cause both negative and positive effect on the environment. The loss of habitats is caused by the drainage of wetlands and disturbed water regime trough piping of springs

166

and catchments. There is a tendency of reducing the cultivated agricultural areas, particularly in mountainous and less favoured areas characterized by land desertification and abundant growth of weeds. The number of pastures, meadows and lands with high nature value have significantly decreased due to abandonment or transformation and predisposes to a negative impact over the ecosystems and the agricultural landscape, which brings about loss of biodiversity in these areas.

• Deterioration of habitats

The deterioration of habitats is caused by the use of fertilizers and chemicals in agriculture, unsustainable management of grasslands, arable lands and forests, infrastructure development, overexploitation of resource species, disturbance, poisoning and killing of animals.

• Soil erosion

The major ecological problem of the Bulgarian agriculture is the soil erosion. Precondition for its appearance is the improper soil cultivation and fertilization, the improper irrigation (irrigational erosion) and the cutting down of forest vegetation and fires, particularly those occurring on sloped areas, in the mountainous regions. The cutting down of forests and field-protection forest belts in the plains has resulted into the occurrence of wind erosion. The eroded soils are less productive and unattractive for carrying out agricultural activities on them. Often in the regions with intense erosion negative change into the landscape can be observed.

• Acidification and dehumisation of the soil

Improper fertilization with high fertilization rates for many years has resulted into dehumisation of some soils and acidification.

• Soil pollution

The excessive usage of plant protection chemicals on perennials leads to soil pollution with heavy metals as a result of the treatment with copper chemicals. The pollution of soils with unfit for use and past their sell-by date pesticides form storage facilities which do not meet the requirements for safe storage of dangerous waste materials is a problem which is to be resolved with the mass introduction of the B-B cubes for pesticides storage all over the country.

• Pollution of surface and ground water

The quality of ground and surface waters is negatively impacted by the improper but intensive agricultural practices - nitrate pollution from fertilization and storage of manure; pollution with unfit for use pesticides; lack of or not fully constructed waste water treatment facilities in the processing plants and populated areas; as well old industrial pollution.

• Air pollution

The ecological problems regarding air pollution are the result of the uncontrolled piling of manure mass in animal farms; unregulated dung-hills; the use of low quality fuel for domestic purposes in a number of small settlements in the rural areas; the use of obsolete transport and agricultural machinery; bad condition of the village infrastructure (inter -village roads).

• usage of chemical fertilisers and plant protection chemicals

167

The increased pesticide content in the soil leads to their deposition in the agricultural products which are consumed directly by people and which damage health. The health of the farmers can be damaged also during cultivation of soil polluted with pesticides.

• Usage of high nitrate content water

Most often the pollution with nitrates can be found in the shallow underground water sources (springs, wells, drainages, boreholes), located in areas of cultivate farm lands, close to settlements or drawing water out of unprotected aquifer. The problem with the high nitrate contents is affects health.

A matrix has been developed and proposed for evaluation of the correlation of the key environmental problems which relate to the rural areas and to the National Rural Development Program. The assessment shows that in case the NRDP is not implemented this will cause harmful effects on the environment and on the sustainable development resulting into:

• Additional pollution of surface and underground water with fertilisers and chemicals due to not applying good farming practices and organic farming, lack of new sites for storage of manure and wastes, waste water treatment facilities in the processing enterprises and livestock farms, drainage systems in small settlements.

• Additional contamination of soil and increase of degradation problems due to not applying good farming practices and organic farming and abandoning farming areas and pastures.

• Additional loss of biodiversity and lack of mapping and protection of the zones within NATURA 2000 framework.

• Decreasing the attractiveness of the small and large towns for the development of small and medium size business and tourist activities.

The environment objectives for protection of environment, which are of crucial importance for the National Program for Rural Development were defined on the ground of an analysis of current international, EU and national legislation and are in compliance with the environment components. The main environmental objectives are presented in Table 8.6.1 as an annex.

The relationship between ecological goals and the objectives of the Rural Development Program has been assessed and found positive for most of the planned activities. Lack of relationship or negative influence was observed with some of the priority axis 1 measures, whose implementation could have negative influence and ecological goals would not be achieved if appropriate actions for mitigating or completely removing the harmful environmental impact are not envisaged and enforced.

Assessment of the probable considerable impacts of the RDP on the environment Methodology of the assessment In compliance with the requirements of Art. 3, indent 5 the Assessor made impact assessment on the environment which relate to the RDP. The assessment was done in two different phases: 1) Assessment of the Program impact on:

168

Structure of the projects or activities related to the program

Structures/frameworks of the plans and program related to the Plan;

Integration/connection of environment issues with special reference/importance in terms of sustainable development

2) Assessment of the impacts on environment as a result of a separate measure and in cases which are more related to a separate sub-measure or when studying linked/similar cases

Each measure has been evaluated considering its impacts on the following factors: biodiversity, population, human health, fauna, flora, soil, water, air, climatic factors, material assets, cultural heritage including architectural and archaeological heritage, landscape.

Each effect was evaluated according a qualitative multi criteria approach including secondary, cumulative and synergistic, short, medium and long-term, permanent and temporary, positive and negative impacts and effects.

The assessment matrix used has a 1-to-10 scale to assess depending on the criteria. The impact assessment values are as follows:

0 = positive impact

from 1 to 7 – no significant negative impact

from 8 to 10 - significant negative impact

The legend to the matrix is presented in the Annex.

Assessment of the measures defined under the priority axes of the RDP per environment components and factors which have an impact on it

The measures fall under three axes according to the Community priorities. Impacts have been identified on the basis of the existing knowledge of the status of biodiversity (flora, fauna, habitats), soils, waters, air and climate, health risks, population, landscape and cultural heritage, known environmental problems resulting from agriculture and forestry, as well as based on the standard impact evaluation methods.

The nature of the RDP does not allow to precisely predict the place, nature and influence of the actions. Therefore the environment assessment does not assess the precise environment impacts of the Program but rather presents an indication of the impact and proposes options for mitigating the negative impacts.

Through an assessment matrix presented in Table 8.7.1 in the Annex the degree and direction of impact were determined which Program measures have on the environment components. The analysis shows that out of the total 27 measures assessed 9 have an entirely positive impact form their implementation. ; 18 have insignificant impact, i.e. ranging from 1 to 7 on a 1-to-10 scale, and only 3 have a significant negative impact on both biodiversity and landscape. The impact on the different components of the environment in most of the rest of the measures is insignificant and can be expressed in 1 to 7 out of the 1-to-10 scale for assessment of the matrix. The major negative impacts are mainly on the biodiversity and the landscape. Assessment of the significance of the impact

The increasing number of farmers applying good farming practices and certifying their farms for organic production, as well as the obligatory observance of Regulation 1782/2003 requirements for keeping the Community Standards by the rest of the

169

farmers will lead to improvement of the environment quality and in particular of waters, soils, human health, landscape and biodiversity.

The activities carried out to maintain and restore the natural environment will contribute to guarantee an attractive landscape and a high rate of biodiversity as well as increasing their number in the regions and in that way they will considerably contribute to increase the quality of life of the rural population and will stimulate attraction of investments for the development of the regions.

The respective activities from the RDP will contribute to decrease of the differences between the EU member states and between the different regions in Bulgaria.

Despite of the already mentioned significant positive impacts the implementation of the RDP could also be accompanied by negative impacts on the environment. Despite the negative impact on the biodiversity not implementing the infrastructural activities (water supply, sewer systems, irrigation, roads, etc.) as well as fail to create conditions for leisure time and sports will bring significant health risk for the population and deterioration of the quality of life in the rural areas. By the effective management of water resources which will be carried out through the basin management plans the waters used for water supply and irrigation will not cause disturbance of the water balance of the water ecosystems (rivers, lakes, artificial dams).

As the RDP does not foresee measures for mitigating this negative effect it is recommended major principles and practices for mitigation of the impact to be implemented as the ones described in point 8.8.

Measures for prevention, decrease and a much as possible removal of the unfavourable results from the implementation of the Program on environment

RDP measures which implementation can cause substantial negative impact are presented and analyzed in point 8.7.1.2 of the EU report. To decrease the negative effect from their implementation preventive measures should be implemented.

The preventive measures for preventing and minimizing the possible negative effects and potential risks for the environment could include several elements, which have to be implemented by NRDP when appropriate. NRDP implementation could be optimized by the proposed principles, practices and activities for mitigation of the effects, which have to be carried out during the implementation of the specific measures. For measures which activities will have negative impact on the environment components it is obligatory to:

• Implement the EU and national legislation;

• Use the best available technologies and apply good farming and forests practices;

• Certify the operations under the ISO (ISO 9000, ISO 14000) standards.

Motives for the selection of the alternatives discussed for solving environmental problems of the measures identified in the Program in terms of the environment protection requirements

NRDP does not offer alternatives. Such could be found only with regard to the measures that have substantial negative ecologic impact on environment. Three alternatives were discuses:

• The current situation without the implementation of the Program or zero alternative;

• Implementations of the measures as proposed in the Program – 1st option;

170

• Implementation of a variant of the measures where by actions for decreasing the negative impact on environment were considered – 2nd option.

Assessments are presented in Table 8.9.1. in the Annex.

The evaluation team considers the zero option as unacceptable, since it will lead to increase of the present environmental problems in agriculture.

The 1st option, implementation of the measures as proposed in the RDP and having substantial negative effect on some environmental elements, is not recommended by the evaluators as the negative impact on the respective element will be increased.

The evaluators recommend that the 2nd option, which includes the implementation of a variation of the RDP measures taking into consideration the actions presented in point 8.8 for preventing and mitigating the negative impact on environment, should be adopted and take into consideration when elaborating the requirements for the implementation of the measures concerned from the Program.

Description of envisioned monitoring measures in compliance with art. 10 of the Strategic Assessment Directive and Art 86, para 3, item 9 of the LEP Monitoring and assessment will be based on the guidelines provided in the Common Monitoring and Evaluation Framework (CMEF) and will report the progress in Program implementation against indicators for the contracted funds, completed actions/projects, results obtained and the long-term impact of the Program. A system of indicators, including such as related to the results and impact of the RDP, base indicators on current situation and objectives, as well as additional indicators reflecting the specificity of the country.

Monitoring will collect information about the contracted funds, implemented activities and realized investments including those directed towards environment protection. The common indicators required under CMEF as well as additional indicators specific for RDP will be followed. The monitoring and evaluation systems set up for SAPARD will be expanded and modified to match the needs of the Rural Development Program 2007-2013.

Consultation outcomes Within the framework of the EA public consultations were held in accordance with the procedure for consultations with the competent authority the Prevention Directorate at the MoEW and with the public regarding the environmental evaluation of the Rural Development Program.

In July - August 2006, the Working groups for developing RDP measures were set up (7 Working groups for Axis 1 measures, 2 Working groups for Axis 2 measures, one Working group for Axis 3 measures and one Working group for Axis 4 and Leader measures). Members of the working groups include representatives of government organizations, nongovernmental organizations, professional and other organizations within the scope of the specific measures, as well as experts from MAF directorates and the Paying Agency. The working subgroups for the priority axes held several meetings to discuss the provisions of the specific measures. The first draft of the preliminary assessment containing the EA of the measures was discussed. The working subgroups under priority axis 1 held 2 meetings, under axis 3 – 3 meetings and under axis 4 (Leader) – 5 meetings.

A questionnaire was published on the web page of MAF for public opinion research. The questionnaire respondents, members of the working group and the public, evaluated

171

the correlation between the key priorities of the NSPRD and the Rural Development Program and their objectives with the key environmental objectives. The same evaluation was carried out also by the environment assessment experts. The results obtained show that 76% of the respondents consider that there is a correlation between the environmental objectives and the objectives of axis 1 of the RDP while 24% - that such a relation is missing. Concerning axis 2 and axis 3 78% and 79% share the opinion that such a correlation exists and 22% and 30% that such a correlation is missing – (fig. 8.11.1).

The values have been calculated on the basis of the 18 evaluations made by the respondents and are presented in Table 8.11.1. The table shows the number of questionnaire respondents presenting certain opinions, namely the presence or absence of correlation between the measures and the environmental objectives. The total number of negative and positive opinions does not always match the total number of respondents as in some cases no response was provided. The Table shows that 76% or respondents believe the environmental objectives and the RDP objectives under Axis 1 match, while 24% think there is no such correlation. For Axis 2 and Axis 3 the opinions are 78% and 70% positive correlation and 22% and 30% - no correlation, respectively. (Fig.8.11.1)

Experts find missing correlation between RDP and the environmental objectives or a negative correlation only in Axis 1, whereas respondents find such missing correlations also in Axis 2 and Axis 3. We believe the discrepancy in the evaluation is due to the respondents’ incorrect interpreting of the environmental objectives which have no correlation with the relevant RDP sub-objective as a negative correlation rather than as missing correlation.

The opinion of the respondents on the environmental impact of Program per different measures is as follows (Table 8.11.2):

• Very good - 28,5 %

• Good - 40 %

• No impact - 26 %

• Negative - 5,5 %

The evaluation of the questionnaire respondents coincides with the expert evaluation on the environmental assessment. Hence a conclusion can be made that the independent experts' evaluation of the proposed Rural Development Program matches the opinion expressed by the wide public, and that the Program meets the requirements for environmental protection in the rural areas and is accepted by the public.

Generally, respondents agree that activities envisaged in the Program should not harm or destroy nature.

Public discussion During the public discussion of the Program for Rural Development and the Strategic Environment Assessment no opinions or statements were presented relating to the quality and the contents of the environment assessment or with expected impacts on the environment. 3 questions were raised only and they were related to Natura 2000.

Conclusions and recommendations of the environmental impact assessment Similarly to other economical fields, the agriculture is decreasing its negative impact on the environment over the last 9 years. This is partly due to the decrease of agricultural production on one hand. On the other hand, the introduction of new legislation and

172

policy on environment protection has also contributed to avoid and reduce the harmful impact on the environment by this sector. The specific characteristics of the agriculture in the country shall be taken into consideration - priority is given to the intense production development which is a potential threat for the environment protection but on the other hand the preserved pure territories in the country presuppose the development of organic agriculture which has good prospects at the European and world market.

Some of the measures have to be elaborated in more details in order more accurate assessment to be assured for their environmental impact. The EU and national nature conservation legislative documents and some environmental impact mitigating activities must be strictly implemented in relation to those measures of the Program, which have harmful potential. This will prevent and minimize possible negative results and threats on the environment during the implementation of the Rural Development Program. It is necessary that measures which could have significant negative impact shall be applied in compliance with the 2-nd option proposed in the report.

The implementation of the Program will contribute to improve the quality of life for the population in the rural areas and to achieve sustainable management of the environment in them.
