Non Productive Investments

(Linked to Measure 214 REPS & AEOS)
Code of the measure: 216 (linked to 214)
Legal Basis

Articles 36 (a) (vi) and 41 of Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005.

Article 32 and point 5.3.2.16 of Annex II of Regulation (EC) No 1974/2006.

Rationale for intervention

This measure is operated under Measure 214. As Measure 214 is the dominant measure in this instance, the rationale for intervention is laid out for each of the agri-environment schemes (REPS & AEOS). The proposed actions under 216 are considered to be necessary in order to fully complement actions under 214.

Objectives of the measure

To support non-remunerative investments where they are necessary, in order to achieve the commitments undertaken under agri-environmental schemes.

Scope and actions:

Action	Description of action and objective (with reference to any related commitments under Measure 214)	Payment
1. Establishment and maintenance of habitats	Action: Fence habitat to restrict livestock access at certain points in the year. Objective: Creation of 2.5m uncultivated field margin resulting in creation of areas of high biodiversity on farmland. Integrated into Action 4 Measure 214 – REPS and Option 2 Measure 214 - AEOS.	€3.30/m
2. Tree Planting & Management	Actions: Planting, fencing and maintenance of native trees and whips with particular emphasis on broad leaved species. a) Standard Tree b) Whip (min 1.2m high) Objective: Conservation & creation of areas of high biodiversity on farmland. Integrated into Action 4 Measure 214 - REPS and Option 3 Measure 214 – AEOS.	€62.70/ tree €9.50/ whip
3. Traditional Orchards	Actions: Establish non-commercial orchard with traditional top fruit varieties selected from a published list on vigorous rootstocks by means of planting, fencing and annual maintenance. 10 trees planted at 7 m spacings, to a minimum of 0.05 ha. Objective: The conservation, on farmland, of genetic resources in danger of being lost. Integrated into Action 8A Measure 214 – REPS and Option 7 Measure 214 - AEOS.	€75/tree
4. Hedgerow Planting	Action: Establish new hedgerow by means of planting and fencing. Objective: The encouragement of wildlife and retention of biodiversity. Integrated into Option 5 Measure 214 – REPS and Option 9 Measure 214 - AEOS.	€32/m
5. Riparian Margins	Action: Fence margin adjacent to identified watercourses to prevent animal access. Objective: To protect water quality by creating a permanent buffer thereby intercepting nutrients that may be transported by overland flow. This land cannot be used for agricultural production, but must be maintained annually. Integrated into Action 5C Measure 214 – REPS and Option 11 Measure 214 - AEOS.	€3.30/m
6. Provision of alternative water source for bovines.	Actions: Install water trough with piped water in suitable location 10 m from watercourse. Prevent access to drinking points on watercourses adjacent to lands. Objective: To protect water quality and avoid physical damage to the watercourse by preventing bovine access to watercourses. Integrated into Option 12 Measure 214 – AEOS.	€200 per trough

Definition of operations to be supported

Definition of “non-productive investments”: those investments that do not lead to any significant increase in the value or profitability of the agricultural holding.
