As regards detailed indicators, the position is as follows: back in January 2000, the Commission (DG AGRI) produced a draft document containing a set of very detailed indicators which they proposed using across all Member States for all agricultural and rural development Measures which come under the terms of the new Council Regulation on Support for Rural Development already mentioned. This document was discussed for the final time at the STAR Committee on 24 May 2000 and the intention of the Department of Agriculture, Food and Rural Development is to select key indicators from this document for insertion at Sub-measure level in the Programme Complement. The detailed indicators, as appropriate, will also be collected separately to facilitate future evaluation across Member States and will be included as an Annex to the Programme Complement.
