4. Current situation:
Please describe briefly your current situation concerning the sector of the acquis communautaire indicated above and explain why the workshop is necessary now:
EXISTING SITUATION REGARDING SYSTEM (IACS) IN TURKEY
Although there is not directly corresponding Turkish legislation with IACS; within the extend of direct income support system for farmers. Land and farmer registry system project which started in 2001, Direct Income Support System is being implemented within frame of various degrees and communiqués.
Some arrangements in implementations such as registration of applied farmers, Identification and registration of payment entitlements, a computerized data base,farmer applications are similar to IACS’s basic components. In spite of these, lack of reference data necessary to make all the controls foreseen in the IACS, incompatibility of records with “LPIS”, lack of integration between Animal Identification and Registration System and National Farmer Registration System in MARA, lack of cross-checks based on reference parcels and GIS are differentiating points in implementation with that of IACS at European community. Land parcels are only based on cadastral records which are generally kept on paper; most of them have not been digitized yet
Some elements of IACS have been implemented in Turkey but they have not been merged into a single system yet.
Land Parcel Identification System :
Some works on land parcel identification system in Turkey have been carried out. Data obtained during these works, although are not in the exact format which that of IACS, could provide a base for establishment of the system.
From the moment IACS subject come into agenda in Turkey, specifically after this stage, all the works and conclusions were planned in the formats used in establishment of IACS, under coordination of Ministry of Agriculture a Rural Affairs
A common work ground has been formed after having received confirmation with institutions other then the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs.
Currently a project titled ‘’Determination and Improvement of Problematic Agricultural Land (STATIP)’’ is being implemented by the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Affairs.
Due to the project, by classification of country’s agricultural lands according to the standards and country wide or local importance, usage of agricultural lands according to purpose and supervision has been aimed.
While these work, agricultural lands with their specification were determined on village base. It has been considered using of data obtained from the project may be used in formation of land parcel identification system in a great extend, especially in block formation it can be a key tool
By using 1/25000 scale original topographic maps land data obtained as a result of works carried out by basing on village boundaries, shell facilitate formation of reference land records as envisaged by IACS and obtaining parcel data.
