Ülevaade: Maaeluministeerium korraldas ÜPP reformi kaasamisürituse



Kuigi on tavaliselt kombeks riiklike kaasamisürituste kallal näägutada, ei ole mul seda kavas teha. Loomulikult, alati saab varem, rohkem ja paremini, aga laias laastus oli Maaeluministeeriumi üritus pigem hästi korraldatud. Kokku oli kutsutud väga erinevaid põllumajanduse ja maaeluga seotud asjalisi ning pärast ministeeriumi kantsleri sissejuhatust ja ministri tervitust andsid kaks asekantslerit oma ettekannetes päris hea ülevaate ÜPP minevikust ja hetkeseisust ning tulevikuaruteludest. Neli töörühma, mis ettekannetele järgnesid, olid pealkirjastatud „Tark põllumajandus”, „Kohanemisvõimeline põllumajandus”, „Keskkonnahoidlik põllumajandus” ja „Elav maamajandus”.


Kuivõrd puhtakujulist „keskkonnarahvast” üritusel just palju polnud, läksin keskkonnale pühendatud töörühma. Tegelikult selgus, et huvi selle teema vastu on päris suur. Mitmed osalejad rõhutasid elurikkuse ja maastikulise mitmekesisuse tähtsust ning minagi kiitsin sellele takka. Arutati ka tolmeldamiskriisi teemal, alustades kodumesilastest, millele ma lisasin ka metsikute tolmeldajate kaitse vajaduse. Loomulikult rääkisin ka veekaitse vajadusest, alates eutrofeerumisega seotud probleemidest Läänemere valgalal ja lõpetades vee ratsionaalse kasutamisega Vahemeremaades. Kõneldi veel mitmel olulisel teemal, nagu mullakaitse, mahepõllumajanduse ette veeretatavad probleemid ja vajadus säilitada mitmekesisus põllumajandustootmises. Ettepanekud poliitika tuleviku suhtes olid üsna erikarvalised, omalt poolt lisasin, et vajame radikaalset muutust, sealhulgas tänase kahesambalise struktuuri ülevaatamist.

ÜPP on, nagu ka varem kirjutatud, pagana keeruline. Nii pole ka ime, et paljud asjalised ei suuda mõista, mida otsustatakse ÜPP reformidega, mida selle kohaliku rakendamisega ja mida hoopis teiste poliitikavaldkondade abil. Maaelu raskustega seotud frustratsioon paistis välja mitmelt poolt, konstruktiivseid ettepanekuid teha on aga sellises olukorras õige keeruline. Sestap muidugi on raske ennustada, mis ja kui palju töörühmades arutatust tegelikult tulevikku mõjutab.


Pärastlõunasel ajal said kõnepulti järjest erinevate põllumajanduse ja maaeluga seotud ühiskondlike huvide esindajad: esmalt loomulikult põllumajandus ise, seejärel keskkond, siis mittepõllumajanduslik maaettevõtlus, kohalik algatus ja teadus. Keskkonnapoolt oli au esindada minul. Aega polnud just palju, kuid olulise sai ära öelda: ÜPP vajab põhimõttelist muutust, sest ta on erinevate toetuste tasemete tõttu ebaõiglane, ei toeta põllumajandusega seotud elurikkust ja ega aita kaasa keskkonnaprobleemide lahendamisele – pigem vastupidi, nagu nähtub lämmastikubilansi ja otsetoetuste taseme seosest.

PRESS RELEASE: European Union’s agricultural policy needs a significant change

Image
Environmental and agricultural organisations, farmers, scientists, officials and other participants attended a conference on 1st and 2nd of September in Tallinn and Matsalu to discuss the future of the EU’s common agricultural policy (CAP). Despite their versatile background, most speakers found that the CAP requires significant changes. Multiple participants signed an open letter addressed to the Agriculture and Fisheries Council of the European Union and other relevant EU decision-makers with their proposals how to repair the policy. Speakers at the conference stressed the importance of agriculture in providing food and various public goods. At the same time negative sides of the present-day agriculture like impact on water, problems with pesticides, biodiversity loss, hardship faced by family farms and land grabbing were discussed. Positive examples of dealing with these problems were also presented. The overall conclusion shared by most speakers, however, was that CAP does secur...

A piece of somewhat better news. Version 2.0.

I have written a post with a similar name  and this is indeed something linked both in substance and in form. The two stories form an interesting pair of mosaic mirror images, where some aspects are almost identical and some more or less precisely opposite. Several chemicals, including many biocides and pesticides can disrupt the endocrine system. Such effects have been documented long ago and are now considered a major hazard. European Parliament held a vote on the subject of endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) in the beginning of October. The Commission had, after long delay finally adopted a delegated regulation on EDCs – something that the European Court of Justice had demanded it to do long ago. The delegated regulation, however, fell short of what is necessary to protect our health and environment from the hazards of EDCs, and as such was not in accord with the delegated powers given to the Commission by the existing regulations on pesticides and bio...

Conference in Estonia: "CAP 2020. Towards sustainable agriculture"

Image
We are pleased to invite you to attend the conference "CAP 2020. Towards sustainable agriculture" - an international event dedicated to the future of EU's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP). What? The conference is focused on the EU's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and its reform. Is CAP sustainable? What do we expect from CAP after 2020? How can the next CAP support a living land? What kind of CAP would keep family farms alive? What kind of CAP would ensure the development of organicproduction? Farmers, farmers organisations, NGOs and public sector representatives from all over the Europe will share their views and hopes on today and for future common agricultural policy. The aim is to have open discussions on CAP reform and to reach more balanced and environmentally sustainable agriculture. The event has two parts: On the 1st of September 2017 there is a conference in Tallinn. On the 2nd of September 2017 there is a seminar and farm visits in different parts...
