DEVELOPMENT OF ACTIVITIES

Principal activities of RCs:

Agricultural production and mechanised forestry services
Rural services in the private and public sectors
Consulting for project authors, such as farmers, local councils and private enterprises.

Over the last eight years, CEETTAR has developed a variety of specific activities, focusing particularly on:

General health and safety
- Preventing industrial accidents (comparative study of the French, Danish and German systems) and sharing the good practices encountered
EU expansion
- The national administrations of the new Member States still confine themselves excessively to a passive role and little information from European sources is circulated.
Restructuring of the sugar industry
- The radical reforms of the Commission call for fair and balanced measures for ALL the interested parties. (Beet growers and agricultural contractors)
- Ceettar works to defend the specific interests of ARCs, who truly are the invisible victims of the reforms.
Harmonisation of specific social provisions for road transport
- Initiative targeting the European Parliament aimed at securing the exemption of RCs from the application of compulsory measures (tachographs, speed limits) by the new Regulation in question.
Directive on the thematic strategy for the sustainable use of pesticides, Services Directive
- Joint initiative with COPA/COGECA aimed at defending the interests of RCs and farmers
