tailieunhanh - Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006

The starting point here are the WTO domestic support rules applying to developing countries. According to the WTO Agreement on Agriculture (AoA), there are four different categories of domestic support measures: the so called Amber Box (covering classical trade distortive subsidies such as price interventions and coupled payments), the Blue Box (partly decoupled payments under production-limiting programs), the Special and Differential (S&D) Treatment Box (certain input and investment subsidies for developing countries only) and the Green Box (decoupled payments which are at most minimally trade distorting). It is the Green Box which expressly allows Members to pay farmers compensation for income loss for those located in disadvantaged. | 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006 CHAPTER 16 CONTENTS Part 1 Natural England and the Commission for Rural Communities Chapter 1 Natural England Constitution and general purpose Constitution General purpose Advisory functions Review and research Advice General implementation powers Carrying out proposals etc. Financial and other assistance Management agreements Experimental schemes Other functions information services etc. Consultancy services and training Power to charge for services and licences ii Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006 c. 16 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 Power to bring criminal proceedings Incidental powers Powers of Secretary of State Grants Guidance Directions Chapter 2 Commission for Rural Communities The Commission and its general purpose Commission for Rural Communities Commission s general purpose Functions Representation advice and monitoring Research information services etc. Power to charge for services incidental powers Powers of Secretary of State Grants Directions Chapter 3 Supplementary Transfer schemes etc. Transfers on dissolution of English Nature and Countryside Agency Continuing powers to make transfer schemes Transfer schemes supplementary interim arrangements Interpretation interpretation PART 2 nature conservation in the UK Joint Nature Conservation Committee etc. Joint Nature Conservation Committee uK conservation bodies Natural Environment and Rural Communities Act 2006 c. 16 iii 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 Purpose of functions under this Part Coordinated functions Functions of national or international significance Advice from joint committee to UK conservation body GB functions with respect to wildlife UK conservation bodies incidental powers for UK purposes etc. Directions Directions Interpretation Interpretation Part 3 Wildlife etc. Biodiversity Duty to conserve biodiversity Biodiversity lists and
