Project
Closure: MA reminder to RDP beneficiaries and prospective applicants
The Managing Authority
would like to remind private beneficiaries that are currently implementing a
project funded through the European Agricultural Fund Rural Development (RDP),
that as previously stated, other application(s) under the same sub-measure can
only be submitted once the first project has been ‘closed’. Project closure
takes place when the Agriculture and Rural Payments Agency has carried out its
final controls and has issued the final payment to the beneficiary. Where
requested by the MA, the Final Project Report would have to be submitted prior
to the submission of a fresh application.
In view of the foregoing,
new applications requesting funding through measures from which the applicant
is currently benefitting will not be assessed by the Project Selection
Committee. Similarly, applicants whose
project application is still under appeal can only re-submit an application
through the same sub-measure once the decision of the Project Selection Appeals
Board has been issued. At which stage, by submitting a fresh application under
the same measure, the process for the previous application would be drawn to a close.
Notwithstanding the above,
applicants can concurrently submit multiple applications under multiple RDP sub-measures.

Measure 6.4: Support for investments in creation and development of non-agricultural activities
The Director General of the Funds and Programmes Division, within the Parliamentary Secretariat for European Funds and Social Dialogue announces the pre-launch of two new schemes under the Rural Development Programme.
Measure 4.2 ‘Support for investments in processing/marketing and/or development of agricultural products’ has the aim to support farmers and processors in adding value to primary products or in developing new products, and/or opening up new markets.
Farmers and other businesses and entities active in the agricultural and processing sectors are eligible for support under this measure. Beneficiaries will receive 50% of the total eligible project costs. Projects must result in a benefit to the local agricultural sector.
The other scheme, measure 6.4 ‘Support for investments in creation and development of non-agricultural activities’ has the objective to stimulate the rural business environment, to contribute to an increased number of non-agricultural activities carried-out in rural areas as well as to develop existing non-agricultural activities, create jobs, increase the income of the rural population and alleviate rural-urban disparities. Beneficiaries will receive 50% of the total eligible project costs.
Support under the latter measure is targeted to farmers, farm family members and other rural entrepreneurs intending to diversify their main economic activity or to start a new economic activity by investing in non-agricultural activities with the aim to increase their income and to create occupational alternatives.
The indicative budgets for measures 4.2 and 6.4 are €4.7 million and €7.7 million respectively. This will bring the total budget allocation for issued calls under the RDP €95 million. This investment is key to the government’s mission to facilitate better quality and sustainability in the local agricultural sector.

Application Form for Funding under Measure 4.3 – ‘Support for Investments in infrastructure related to development, modernisation or adaptation of agriculture and forestry'– Version 1.2
14th February 2017
Pre-Notification of Measure 4.3
Parliamentary Secretary for the EU Presidency 2017 and EU Funds Ian Borg has today announced the pre-launch of a measure (M4.3) under the Rural Development Programme (RDP) for Malta 2014-2020 aimed at supporting the Construction and Improvement of farm access roads.
Accessibility remains a major challenge within the agricultural sector; inadequate access road add to the difficulties posed by the fragmented nature of land-holdings. These make access a particular problem for farms, both in terms of inputs (delivery of items to be used on farms) and also removing produce for marketing purposes.
The efficient management of local infrastructure is not only vital to ensure competitiveness in agriculture but also to ensure the sustained preservation of farm holdings that are increasingly under threat of land abandonment. The improvement in accessibility to farm holdings through the upgrading of farm access roads will increase farm utilization, improve farm management and increase farm efficiency.
Beneficiaries (in terms of eligible applicants) under this measure are entities with a remit of constructing and upgrading farm access roads.
Parliamentary Secretary Borg said that this sub-measure (M4.3 of the RDP) has an allocation of €10m and will complement measures announced throughout this year, bringing the total value for calls issued to €65 million.
More information can be accessed by email to rdd.meaim@gov.mt or tel. 2200 1108.

Open Call - Measure 4.1
11th January 2017
Pre-Notification of Measure 4.1
Parliamentary Secretary for the EU Presidency 2017 and EU Funds Ian Borg has today announced the pre-launch of an Investments in Agriculture measure aimed at supporting agricultural holdings to invest in cost-effective and environmentally efficient systems.
Support under this operation within the Rural Development Programme (RDP) for Malta 2014-2020 will include on-farm support for investments in more efficient equipment, improvements aimed at both reducing energy consumption as well as capturing and storage of energy, and investments in agricultural waste management. Investments in water harvesting such as new water reservoirs (ġiebja) as well as investments in improved crop storage or other activity to improve the quality of the product are also eligible.
The measure also support the construction, acquisition as well as improvements to immovable agricultural property; this may include buildings for specialised handling, storage, provision of ventilation, insulation and refrigeration.
Beneficiaries can include farmers or group of farmers.
Parliamentary Secretary Borg said that this sub-measure (M4.1 of the RDP) has an allocation of €25m and it is expected that over 200 farmers receive grants that can reach up to €150,000 per farmer, with an aid intensity of 50%. This measure will be complementing the three measures announced earlier this year, where €30 million have been committed for farmers working agricultural land to specific agricultural practices that respect and support the environment.
In order to ensure maximum transparency and an even level playing field for all, potential beneficiaries are being given a two month pre-launch period so they can adequately prepare for submission of their project proposals. Beneficiaries will be selected through a competitive procedure and applications will be received in the first weeks of January 2017. An open rolling-call system will be adopted with periodical selection stages.
All potential beneficiaries are reminded that eligible expenditure can only be committed to after the signing of an agreement between the farmer and the Managing Authority within the Funds and Programmes Division, Ministry for European Affairs and Implementation of the Electoral Manifesto.
Parliamentary Secretary Ian Borg remarked that the local Agricultural sector is looking forward to such support to enable farmers in carrying out much needed investments in this competitive sector. It is hence expected that this Rural Development measure will generate significant interest and this augurs well for the future of the Maltese Agricultural sector.

The future of the Common Agricultural Policy after 2013:
The European Commissioner for Agriculture and Rural Development has launched on the 12 April 2010 a public debate on the future of the Common Agricultural Policy after 2013. Since its beginning, the CAP has adapted itself in order to address the particular challenges and needs that agriculture and rural areas were facing from time to time. Over the years the CAP has been reformed several times, the most significant ones being the 2003 reform and the Health Check of 2008. The CAP has a lot to offer in facing the future challenges and in reaching the objectives of the EU 2020 strategy. The main objective of this debate is to have a CAP that addresses the needs of EU citizens by gathering the reactions from the general public on the future of the CAP after 2013.
The Maltese National Rural Network has also contributed to this public debate. The Maltese NRN organised three main activities from which contributions were collected, namely:
A telephone survey to the general public;
A one-to-one semi-structured interviews with the key rural stakeholders;
A consultation meeting with rural stakeholders.
A report on the contributions that the Maltese National Rural Network collected was drafted and sent to the European Network for Rural Development. This report formed part of the contribution of the European Network for Rural Development to the Public debate on the Common Agricultural Policy after 2013.

Further information on the public debate and the future of the Common Agricultural Policy can be obtained from the website of the European Network for Rural Development.
