Aid for less-favoured rural areas is an essential element of the second pillar of the common agricultural policy (rural development policy), as it is natural that regions with natural disadvantages should be targeted by specific tools and policies.
The Commission is proposing in this communication that, according to Article 50(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005, the ‘other less-favoured areas’ be defined in accordance with objective criteria. For this purpose, it is proposing eight soil and climate criteria indicating, at a certain threshold value, severe limitations for European agriculture: climate criteria (long-term low temperature or heat stress), biophysical criteria (poorly drained soil; stony, sandy or clay soil; low rooting depth; salty soil) and geographic criteria (areas with very unfavourable moisture balance or steep slopes). This definition of objective criteria is positive, but they must be tested on the ground to verify their reliability and adaptability to real situations and the specific characteristics of each natural area.
The possibility of a transitional period, with its own scheme, for any region that loses its classification as a less-favoured area must also be considered."@en1
