Working groups for developing interventions

Rationale of use

In Romania, the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development (MARD) engaged a diverse group of stakeholders through working groups, ensuring that multiple perspectives were considered in policy formulation.

Functioning

Four overarching thematic working groups were used to design specific CAP interventions on the followings: WG 1. Agriculture and Food industry: - TWG.1.1: direct payments - TWG 1.2: coupled support - TWG 1.3 Intervention measures supported from II Pillar - TWG 1.4 Industry and Food Security - TWG 1.5 Market Measures. WG 2. Environment and Forestry: - TWG 2.1 Eco-schemes and Environmental Payments, - TWG 2.2 Rural Development Arrangements - TWG 2.3 Forestry WG 3. Rural Economy and Infrastructure: - TWG 3.1 LEADER and non-agricultural activities - TWG 3.2 Rural infrastructure WG 4. Research and Innovation: - TWG 4.1 AKIS - TWG 4.2 Interventions in RDI and innovation transfer

Types of outputs

The ouputs consisted of extensive feedback, comments, and recommendations from socio-economic partners in the thematic working groups, employing surveys, questionnaires, and online thematic discussions. It sought to align the identified needs with SWOT components, complying with CAP specific objectives.
