Govt Adopts Decree on 2006 Agriculture Policy Measures

The government has adopted a decree implementing the agricultural policy measures for 2006, which serves as a basis for the phasing of SIT 31bn (EUR 129.4m) in funds for agricultural policy measures.

Presenting the decree on Thursday, Agriculture Minister Marija Lukacic said that one of the major novelties was the change of the basic reference unit.
Instead of the plot as defined in the land registry, the ministry will use aerial imaging-based units (known by their Slovenian acronym GERK) broken down for each farm holding depending on the type of actual use.
Applications for subsidies will be possible only on the basis of these units, Lukacic explained.
The term for applications has been extended from 45 days to two months and a half (from 1 March to 15 May) following criticism of short deadlines last year, she said.
