• 2015&2016

• Based on site-codes from Natura 2000 and LPIS parcels (PG)

• LPIS parcels with PG codes into layer

• Not finished detailed map of habitats

• Lots of mistakes:

wrong codes from LPIS,

wrong photo interpretation or farmer’s statement ,

clover grass mixture (arable land or meadow)/ crop rotation

ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE PG• 2017- new layer

• Provided by State Institute for Nature Protection

• Detailed map of habitatsgrasslands area (not only LPIS PG)

• Based on DOP 2012 (old?)

• Excluded area within parcels other than PG (from LPIS)

ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE PG

• Automatic spatial analysis

• Overlap ES layer with LPIS attributes

ENVIRONMENTALLY SENSITIVE PG• Attributes :

1- parcel with PG LPIS codes

2- not allowed conversion other codes than PG and/or overlap >500 m²

3- allowed conversion due to Decision of authorized bodies (e.g. Ministry of Environment and Energy)

4- administrative error due to wrong given LPIS codes, photo interpretation or old DOP

• 2parcel has to convert to PG again

PERMANENT GRASSLANDS RATIO


11

• Article 45 Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013

• PG - 2013 (for Croatia)- Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, not 2012. as other MS

• Sum of area RP with land use codes: 310,320,321

• Eligibility coefficient was taken into account

• Area after applying results of OTSC

• Spatial analysis and calculation

• PG 2013 and 2015- the same spatial surface & New PG area in 2015

• Minus area of:

– PG 2015 small farmer scheme

– PG 2015 organic farms

– PG 2013 converted into other agriculture land in 2015

– PG 2013 converted into non agricultural land (after OTSC results)

• In ratio to all agriculture reference parcels:

– 2015 declared from GSAA- 1 056 481 ha, 1 300 997 RP (or parts of RP) with pro rata

– Minus area of small farmers scheme & organic farms

• The calculated reference ratio of PG is 0,1276= 12,76%

overlap- minimum 50% of

RP in defined

municipalities areas
