Perceived Barriers
•RBAPS is just one of many approaches to
meeting RDP priorities
•Current administrative systems are set up to
deal with action-based approaches
•Uncertainty around how to undertake budget
projections impacting on financial planning.
•Concern of added administrative complexity
•Interpretation of WTO rules limit scope for
more innovative approaches to costing RBAPS
•RBAPS require long-term commitments (>7
Perceived Barriers
•RBAPS require long-term commitments (>7
years) to achieve lasting improvements
•Up-front costs assumed to be higher for
results-based (e.g. the costs of defining and
testing indicators, of training staff, farmers,
advisers and inspectors, preparing publicity,
etc.)
•Policy framework-a clear focus on incentivising
performance
•Clear objectives and targeting essential
•Co-operation, knowledge-sharing, capacity and
trust building
Recommendations
trust building
•Long term commitments to sustain newly created
market for ecosystem services
•Dedicated article in RD regulations-clear signal to
member states from EU
•Ensure implementation, financial management
and monitoring regs facilitate RBAPS approach
•Update Commission Guidance on RBAPS
•Clear guidance on costings
•WTO rules not an issue in this pilot aimed to meet
green box conditions:
Recommendations
green box conditions:
–not price support, no or minimal effects on production;
–government funded;
–clearly defined env. programme;
–payment based on extra costs or loss of income)
•Fully developed tool for RDPs
