If none of the alternatives to a project declared to be in the public interest is considered to be an optimum solution and in line with Community legislation, compensatory measures may be adopted which will allow the project to be carried out while at the same time compensating for any negative impact.

While Bill C-48 attempted to compensate for this exception with the introduction of a 10% exploration tax credit, it does not go far enough to compensate those segments of the mining industry where tax competitiveness was negatively impacted.

Indeed, the proposal made to the minister for Mines in 2003 I do not know if you have read it in order to compensate the negative parts of the reform, was to implement it in one stroke in 2007 and to establish a new exploration tax credit of 20 percent rather than 10 percent. This was just to compensate the anticipated adverse effects.

These usually involve the abolition of price support or a reduction to world market levels; income compensation (partial or full through direct payments; abolition of quotas and other supply management measures; direct income support payments and payments for environmental services on a national basis, with or without Community co-financing. This option certainly has the advantage that it would lead to a considerable simplification and would reduce agricultural expenditure substantially once compensation payments were phased out. Although such a radical reform may be appealing from an economist's point of view, it would imply a number ...[+++] of social and environmental risks which, at least in some regions, could lead to quite negative effects. In addition, at least in the first five to ten years, before compensatory payments are phased out to a large extent, it would imply huge sums of additional public expenditure. Reducing for example milk and sugar prices to bring them close to world market levels would imply drastic price cuts and necessitate some 10000 to 15000 mio ECU for direct payments if full compensation were to be achieved. If direct payments were to be made directly from Member State budgets, the question of economic and social cohesion would arise, and transfer payments between Member States would become necessary to bridge the gap between the richer and the poorer countries and to get the system work. 2.3. Developing the 1992 approach Towards higher competitiveness If the agricultural and agro-food sectors of the Community are to participate fully in the expected favourable world market developments and the expansion of world trade, improved competitiveness will remain a key challenge for the future. Competitiveness has many facets : quality and speciality of the product, value added through processing, services linked to the product, price, etc ...

The High Authority could grant financial aid to programmes which had the aim of offsetting the possible negative effects of technological advances in the industry on the workforce (compensation, allowances and vocational retraining).
