The Commission has also developed its ideas for enhancing the range of rural development measures that may receive support. There will be three new sets of measures. There will be support for farmers who participate in recognised schemes to improve food quality. Aid will be provided to help farmers meet standards prescribed in EU law for the environment, public health, animal and plant health, animal welfare and occupational safety, and to farmers availing of farm advisory services for the first time. There will be assistance for farmers who undertake to improve, over at least a five year period, the welfare of their farm animals in a manner going beyond usual good animal husbandry practice.
