The paper defines possible scenarios of the agricultural policy developments in 2004-2013 and presents expected impacts of the policy scenarios on the Czech farm structure and land usage.

Doll Author-Workplace-Name: Federal Research Institute of Agriculture, Institute for Rural Areas, Braunschweig, Germany Title: -Impacts of the reform of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) on land markets in Germany Abstract: The political goal to reduce the transformation effects of political measures to the advantage of active farmers is only partially achieved with the Combi-model. The primary recipients are farmers who will give up their farms after introducing the Combi-model. These farmers have mostly farmed leased land. They will return these lands (leased before the reform) to the former leasers and sell their premium rights to other farm owners or lease these in co-operation with the former leasers for a fee to a new lease. Farmers who want to farm over a long term cannot use the stronger negotiating position against the old lessors following the introduction of the Combi-model because they must maintain a good leaser-leasee relationship. But they do profit to a certain extent, at least at first, because the negotiating results of the farms closing with the old leasers will become public. In contrast, the negotiating position of farmers who first lease their land areas following the introduction of the Combi-model is hardly strengthened, particularly in the current lease market in Germany.

Buday Author-Workplace-Name: Research Institute of Agricultural and Food Economics, Bratislava, Slovak Republic Title: Development trends in land market prices in Slovakia Abstract: After the accession to the EU, there is a necessity to develop the land market in Slovakia. The achievement of the following conditions is necessary: settlement of estates in lands and unification of the law of real property in the areas of ownership, utilization, change of the land type, soil conservation, land use planning and building multiple-function agriculture with the legislation of the market economy countries as well as its harmonization with the EU legal regulations. It is also necessary to develop an official network to follow transactions on the land market, a regular update of data and their evaluation.

Yanakieva Author-Workplace-Name: Institute of Agricultural Economics, Sofia, Bulgaria Title: Selling and buying of farmland in Bulgaria during the pre-accession period to the European Union Abstract: The expectations for a successful start of the market for the selling/buying of farmland were based on the significant fragmentation of land plots and the impractical distribution of ownership. Most of the owners are people living in larger towns, people who practice non-agricultural professions, or older people who do not want to and are not able to cultivate their land. The majority of the first two groups of owners are potential sellers. The third group of owners are people whose lives are closely connected with agriculture but either they do not own land or the size of the land they own makes its cultivation ineffective. It is logical to expect that the owners from this group will become the potential buyers of land. The expectations for the activation of the land market that will result in the restructuring and amalgamation of land ownership were not justified.

Vrbová Author-Workplace-Name: Research Institute of Agricultural Economics, Prague, Czech Republic Author-Name: J. Němec Author-Workplace-Name: Research Institute of Agricultural Economics, Prague, Czech Republic Title: Land market development in the Czech Republic Abstract: Land market in the Czech Republic is monitored by the Research Institute of Agricultural Economics on the sample of 24 districts (1/3 of the CR). Land prices depend on the area, culture and region of the plot. Sales of small plots (up to 1 ha) prevail. These plots are usually purchased for non-agricultural use and their prices are many times higher than prices of large plots (above 5 ha) which are usually bought for agricultural purpose. Land market is not well developed, only 0.2-0.4% of the monitored area is sold each year. But in the last years, it is increasing. Compared with land prices in the west EU countries, land market prices in the CR are low.

One of the measures are payments for farmers producing in less-favoured areas. The payments contribute to sustainable use of agricultural land, maintaining of land and support of sustainable agriculture in these areas. This contribution concerns the support for less favourable areas in the CR in 2004-2006 and analyses their impact on the use of land fund in confrontation with the proposed changes of the Regulation of the Commission on support for the development of countryside through European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development for next programme period 2007-2013.
