| Description | With agriculture there are related many environmental aspects as agricultural entrepreneurial activities influence the environment and are heavily dependent on natural resources such as soil, water or climate. There is interest in environmental protection and need of restrictions of certain activities harmful to the environment. Instruments, influencing agricultural entrepreneurs, are besides generally binding legal rules (laid down in general acts on environmental protection such as Act on Water or Act on Conservation of Nature and Landscape) and other rules on cross-compliance, which are part of Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union. Whereas generally binding legal rules bind all subjects, the rules on cross-compliance are part of economic instrument and represent a special set of rules to which the agricultural entrepreneurs, who submitted the direct payment application, are required to comply. Rules on cross-compliance represent the compulsory basic layer of environmental requirements and obligation to be met in order to receive full Common Agricultural Policy funding. This publication called ´Environmental Aspects of Agricultural Entrepreneurship in the Context of Rules on Cross-compliance' is devoted to the analysis of the rules on cross-compliance, which are binding for agricultural entrepreneurs who submitted the direct payment application, regarding the protection of the environment. The publication does not cover all the rules on cross-compliance. It concentrates on conventional agriculture and the sector of plant production. The publication is divided into two main parts. The first part is devoted to an introduction of agricultural entrepreneurship. There are introduced the key terms, concepts and relations (such as agriculture, entrepreneurship or farmer/applicant) which serve as the context to the subsequent analysis of the rules on cross-compliance which are discussed in the second part of the publication in detail. |
