The economic conditions for its utilisation have been already prepared. They are based especially on the drawing of funds of the European Union, namely for the period after the accession of the Czech Republic to the European Union and for the years 2007-2013. The measures concerning the land are included in the prepared programme documentation, especially in the Horizontal Rural Development Plan (HRDP) and in the Operational Programme "Agriculture". The farmers will obtain the direct payment per area (SAPS) in addition to supports on foregoing measures. The requirements for environment-friendly farming of land will be increased in the future. The economic conditions for next period will concentrate on these priorities. It will concern the securing of public benefit contributing to the sustainable development of rural areas. The project assurance of these trends and their regional monitoring and evaluation will be important.

Greif Author-Workplace-Name: Federal Institute of Agricultural Economics, Vienna, Austria Title: Tensions in land policy between EU-15 and the accession states of 2004 Abstract: The ownership of land has always been the important precondition for lasting socio-economic situation and the development of the country. Despite that, there is a process of learning going on in practically all the new member countries, which are still learning that productive ability of the agriculture depends in a big degree on the stability of ownership of land and its tranquil farming. Despite many fundamental and substantial differences, we can say that hitherto development in land law was tremendous. But it also follows that significant social and economic divergences have not made full liberalisation of the land market possible without "yes, but".

Enormous financial resources have been invested in the execution of land consolidation in this six-year period, and land consolidation of relatively vast areas has also begun. The land consolidation scheme involved the implementation of major building and land surveying projects. The time series of financial and cost indicators make it possible to conduct performance analyses, compare productivity between the offices, and/or identify any negative influences on the land consolidation process and eliminate such influences through well-designed interventions on the part of the central policy-making bodies. This article analyses the individual cost and performance categories of land consolidation and assesses the regional influences on price per hectare; the mutual conditionality of basic parameters is analyzed.

There are two main approaches: systems based on the www technologies (intranets), and specialised systems, which are dedicated to cooperation (these systems are designated as groupware). Web technologies are the main element of the Internet. They are becoming the most important technology in the presentation layer of current business information systems. The web environment penetrates into all currently used applications. Its integration with all existing systems makes the users locally independent and enables them to use a variety of hardware and software platforms, as well as the advantages of mobile communications. The results of the issues discussed in the article are outlined in specific examples.
