The measures financed pursuant to point (c) of Article 6 concern the collection or purchase of data needed to implement and monitor the common agricultural policy, including satellite data and meteorological data, the creation of a spatial data infrastructure and a website, the carrying out of specific studies on climatic conditions, the monitoring of soil health and soil functionality and the updating of agri-meteorological and econometric models.

– Environmental aspects: Assessing implications of good agricultural and environmental conditions and studying impacts and effectiveness of agri-environmental measures on soil and water conditions, biodiversity and European landscapes. Analysing links between agricultural, rural development and regional policies and their impacts on European land use changes through the development of indicators and spatial models. Evaluating promotion measures for low input and organic agriculture and soil fertility. Supporting t ...[+++]he development of targeted territorial strategies for the implementation of rural development programmes. Assessing the impact of climate change on agriculture in view of adaptation measures. Contribution to mitigation of GHG (greenhouse gas) emissions by dedicated energy crops and by energy recovery from agri-wastes.

The industry has made all efforts possible to assist agriculture in their new program by providing existing data and letters of support, shipping out product samples for the upcoming growing season, and advising on the application methods of these products for any given crop (1135) By now, the minor use office has assumed the following responsibilities: receives complaints and requests for information from growers, processors, provinces, industry, and scientists, and resolves these by either finding the information within PMRA or identifying new sources of information that shed a different light on a given issue and allow the development of a solution; clarifies misunderstandings of procedures and responsibilities concerning the registration ...[+++] of minor uses; shows small companies and the pesticide industry, in particular American companies, the path into PMRA; elaborates proposed timelines for PMRA, Agriculture, industry, and provinces to minimize the delay between the identification of a project and the registration of its new use; produces templates, to which I previously referred, to facilitate the production of submissions of acceptable quality so that delays caused by the need for clarification can be avoided; produces templates for study protocols, field notebooks, and study reports to assist agriculture and other sponsors in the production of high-quality data packages that will conform to OECD norms for good laboratory practice and that will be acceptable to PMRA and IR-4 and the Environmental Protection Agency in the U.S.; prepares a training plan about the registration process for study directors from Agriculture and Forestry; supports growers and provinces in the identification of potential pest control products; establishes tracking systems that allow us to follow the advance of any given project through the different parts of the process, from the identification of a need to the availability of the product on the shelf; and advises PMRA on differ ...

A total of 18 test pits were excavated and associated soil sampling was completed as part of the phase II environmental site assessment. Soil samples were collected, logged and submitted to a laboratory for analysis (c) Subsequent to the destruction by fire of the residence and the removal of the debris, the objectives of the investigation included: Identify existing or historical potential environmental concerns at or in the vicinity of the site; Ide ...[+++]ntify the nature and extent of potential contamination; Quantify and delineate the horizontal and vertical extent of potential contamination; Identify and recommend remedial actions if necessary; and Provide an estimated cost for the recommended remedial action(s).
