Conclusions

• Farm register resources are not intended exclusively for EU IACS management (Integrated Administration and Control System).

• In fact, Farm register is: – A ready-system to support the Country for all the new

requirements coming from the Common Agricultural Policy reform

– A unitary approach to represent all different management aspects of the territory, such as agro-environment protection, urban planning and infrastructure, natural disasters fighting, etc.;

– A solution, in line with the country e-government evolution, that makes available the information to the different decision levels (central P.A., district or regions, municipalities ...) through their function of “wide” or “local” control and observation points.
