Introduction and Terms of Reference
The Andersons report was commissioned jointly by the Manx NFU and the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries & Forestry. It follows the expected end of the Red Meat Derogation on 31st December 2010 and the report of the 2010 Committee. It is based around the two DAFF documents:-
-
Outline of options for a Countryside Care Scheme – December 2006
- Two options for Countryside Care proposals produced for evaluation – May 2007
These documents propose two alternative support schemes both involving full decoupling of support from production from the outset, either November 2008 or April 2009. Both systems are programmed over 10 years and both move to an eventual flat rate area payment by the calendar year 2018. The first scheme is based on an historic model for 5 years (as in Scotland and Wales) and then there is a five year transition with a combination of an historic and area-based single payment as in the current English model. The second scheme would adopt the Northern Ireland static hybrid (hybrid between a pure historic and an area payment) for 2 years and then embark on an eight year transition to the flat rate in 2018.
