Czech Rural Development Programme 2007 – 2013:
• implemented at national level• all area eligible except Prague• all types of forest holders eligible for support (state-owned
enterprises only environmental measures)• 2007 – 2013 period: 9 measures in Axis I and II specifically aimed
at forest sector • 3-4 % of total RDP funding allocated for forestry• 63 % of forestry funding spent in Axis I measures –
competitiveness (private companies, municipalities), ½ forest infrastructure
• all project-based measures of Axis I and II succesfully implemented, great interest from applicants
Czech Rural Development Programme: funding share in Axis II measures 2007 - 2013
Non-productive investment
Preventive measures
Restoring forest potential
Forest-environmental
payments
Natura 2000 in forests
Afforestation of agriculture land
Poor participation in area-based measures – too long commitments, controlling system
Czech Rural Development Programme: changes for upcoming period 2014 - 2020
• forestry measures implemented under priority 2, 4 and 5
• most measures maintained - better targeted, attention to defining needs, monitoring system
• one area-based measure closed
• new measures proposed for implementation – new challenges
• specific focus area for forest sector competitiveness under priority 2
- specific result indicator (enable to monitor non-entrepreneurs)
• new conditions: forest nurseries
• area-based measures controlling system under discussion
