What is happening in 2000-2006
programming ?
Different financial performances
Why ?
1.Different organizational and management
skills of Regions
2.Different financial rules for the two funds
(EAGGF Guarantee allows greater flexibility)
3.Different kinds of operations implemented
(Leader type operations are slower)
MiPAF - Direzione Generale dello Sviluppo Rurale
What is happening in 2000-2006
programming ?
Why RDPs experience a better performance ?
1.Close coordination at central level that allowed
financial temporary compensations between Regions
with low expenditure level and Regions with high
expenditure level
2.EAGGF Guarantee expenditure rules are quite
pressing so Regions have to adopt more rigorous
procedures
MiPAF - Direzione Generale dello Sviluppo Rurale
What will happen in 2007-2013 programming ?
There will be just one fund with financial rules that do not allow
compensations among programmes
How to save the experience gained in 2000-2006 ?
The only option could be a national RDP: a big challenge in a high
regionalized country as Italy. That will be a political choice
What we are doing now ?
We are thinking about a new programme model (in any case in the
framework of RD regulation), that could ensure regional autonomy
in programming and managing, leaving the role for coordination in
financial matters at a national level
And what more ?
This new role for the national level would be coherent with the new
strategic approach for RD becouse the national RDP would ensure
a greater consistency with both NSP and CSG

Consistency and integration

Where to work ?
AT NATIONAL LEVEL
Between NSP and NSF
AT PROGRAMME LEVEL
Between programmes
AT PROJECT LEVEL
Between Stake Holders and measure
MiPAF - Direzione Generale dello Sviluppo Rurale
Consistency and integration
with Cohesion Policies
Where to work ?
The next programming period is based on the
following principle: one fund one, programme
For that reason it will be difficult to have
integration among various funds
(different rules can create incompatibility)
The strategic planning will be the most important
instrument to ensure consistency and
integration
MiPAF - Direzione Generale dello Sviluppo Rurale
Consistency and integration
with Cohesion Policies
How to work ?
1. Share a common definition of territorial areas
on which concentrating operations
2. Once the areas are defined, it is necessary to
find the integration on the most important
strategic issues

How we are working at programme level
Programmes should detail how demarcation and
integration have to take place
Ensuring arrangements and close cooperation
between managing authorities of different
programmes
A specific coordination structure should be set up

related to more than a measures (not
only funded by EARDF)

2: Agri-food chain system
Coordinated operations, made to
support investments from subjects
involved in the same agri-food chain,
aimed to increase the value of a
product or to decrease production
costs

to increase the impact of joint
operations comparing to a sum of
individual operations
