Partners for success: a farm regulation and charging strategy
Defra’s
farm regulation and charging strategy, "Partners for Success",
was launched by Sustainable
Farming and Food Minister Lord Bach on 28 November 2005.
The strategy commits the Government to improving the way it regulates and enforces regulation, to reduce bureaucracy and improve farmers’ capacity to help protect the environment, animal health and welfare, food safety and worker safety.
Partners for Success sets out ideas for simplifying rules and cutting red tape for farmers, as part of Defra’s commitment to reduce administrative burdens on business by 25% by 2009.
New regulation is inevitable, but it must be innovative, focus on results, and keep bureaucracy to a minimum. Wherever possible, Defra will consider using alternatives to regulation to achieve its objectives.
Farmers
will need to play their part by improvements in the way they manage their
activities to prevent animal disease.
