Task description:
Main objective of T.2.2. is to formulate new and revise existing Agri-environmental and other measures of Agricultural policy for the preservation of marshland habitats of the intermittent lake (HT 3180*). The measures for marsh vegetation will be placed in the next Strategic Plan for the period 2028-2034 and implemented into the new financial perspective of the Common agricultural policy after 2027.
T.2.2.i - Establishment of an expert group for land management and preparation of new/revised Agricultural policy measures proposals
An expert group, established in the scope of this subtask, will formulate new and revise existing Agricultural policy measures proposals for the preservation of marshland habitats of the intermittent Cerknica lake. The expert group will be composed of representatives of all project partners, representatives of the Agricultural Advisory Service, the Agency for Agricultural Markets, local agrarian communities, and hunting societies.
The expert group will take part in two trips abroad to visit organizations with experience in designing agricultural measures. The aim of the trips will be an exchange of information. The group will also prepare an adjustment of the currently valid VTR measure for the corncrake.
T.2.2.ii - Preparation of materials for the work of the expert group
Several different materials are needed for the appropriate formulation of new/revised Agricultural policy measures. These materials will serve as starting points and will be prepared by the project partners as part of this task, namely:
- material on the impact of mowing on reed beds, tall sedges, and other marsh vegetation,
- material about the impact of mowing of reedbeds and other marsh vegetation on birds,
- overview and analysis of related Agricultural policy measures from other EU countries,
- material on the impact of water regime/fluctuations on marsh vegetation,
- material on the economic aspects of mowing the marsh vegetation.
T.2.2.iii - Adoption of the proposals in the relevant national regulations of the Common agricultural policy
Agricultural policy measures proposals will be formally adopted in national legislation of Common Agricultural policy.
T.2.2.iv - Informing farmers and encouraging them to enrol in new / revised Agri-environmental and other Agricultural policy measures
We will carry out a series of activities to inform local farmers and landowners about future changes and to encourage them to apply for the newly created measures.
