Defra is funding a project to vaccinate badgers against bovine TB in six areas of England with high TB incidence in cattle, starting in summer 2010. This is part of a programme dedicated to developing TB vaccines for badgers and cattle, an important long-term policy option for reducing the risk of bovine TB in Great Britain. Source: Defra
Badger Vaccination
The future CAP should move further away from Pillar 1 support and set the framework while allowing Member States to tailor the actual measures to their own situations. To regain public support the CAP must be realigned so that public expenditure matches the delivery of public benefits which are vital for achieving both food and environmental security. The costs could be accommodated by a redeployment of direct agricultural support. All payments should be based on long term contracts which should allow flexibility to react to changing conditions. Results should be measurable. Source: European Landowners’ Organization and BirdLife International
