Successful meeting of the HNV Farming Coalition
The draft of the new Common Agricultural Policy 2014-2020 has recently been presented by the European Commission, initiating the development of the National Rural Development Programmes (RDPs) according to the general European framework.
In this context our partner NGO Pogány-havas organized a meeting of the HNV Farming Coalition on 10th - 12th October near Miercurea Ciuc about proposals for modifications of the actual and new Romanian RDP (post 2013).

The meeting was attended by members
of Mozaic, EFNCP, Pogány-havas, Adept and Agora.
The participants agreed on
short-time and long-time proposals, especially concerning the
Agri-environment package. During the second day the meeting was
attended by senior representatives of APIA, DADR and the
Environment Protection Agency for Harghita County, who were
positive about many of the ideas.
The proposals will be discussed
further within the NGOs and the HNV Farming Coalition and prepared
for submission. The meeting was a very motivating experience and
will hopefully be followed by other thematic meetings next
year.
