Is expected an increase of 3% of overnight stays in 2010 if employers will exploit the many opportunities for promotion. Last year was not a good year for attendance farmhouses, firm prices and costs increase. In fact, studies have noted that the holidays of 2009 were shorter and focused especially on summer, tourists have tried to ignore the off-season trips preferred reservations at discounted rates because of difficulties in the portfolio. For the Easter period there is a massive inflow of tourists and entrepreneurs will have invest its money by exploiting their territory and know their own attractions. On the regulatory side will be an important help from the reduction in VAT on food and housing benefits from 10% to 7% at least, since the other European countries we have already thought of. Also we must do something to stop the unauthorized, which hampers the growth of activities instead make their work seriously, through random checks.

The recent reform of the wine has introduced the measure of green harvesting, ie the total destruction of green grapes are not ripe yet. This measure should be useful in addressing the crisis that is affecting the market, but the rate that producers receive for bringing their vineyards to this destruction are not high. This practice must be done prior to coloring and producers it will be a flat rate per hectare, which can not exceed 50% of the total cost of removal of grape bunches and the income loss they suffer. The Regions will decide soon the amount will be awarded to those who submit to green harvesting and aid will be different when it comes to harvest by hand or mechanical. The measure of regional application, then each region will decide whether to apply, with which method to implement it, whether or not to discard certain areas or so varieties. But not all regions are in fact examples for green harvesting as Tuscany and Emilia Romagna have decided to work on aid to restructuring and grape vineyards.

We are still waiting for the new regulation to administer food and beverage company without having to overnight. Regulation rather long time already granted in other regions. There have however been much criticism and many attacks such as the Federation of Italian public services Confcommercio who strongly attacked the proposed law say that in this way, the cottages will become as restaurants with the only difference that the latter will pay less taxes. Others think differently and argue the fact that most cottages waiver of the special rate scheme by opting for the normal system to determine income to deduct management fees. In fact, the special arrangement is suitable only for small businesses. Beyond this, however, it is true that the farm has some advantages such as lower costs providenziali, community contributions and reduced ICI. But it is also true that there are things down as uncomfortable position in the country, the obligation to use its raw materials and regional organizations, and all costs for the processing of agricultural products. All in all, should correct that all entrepreneurs came together to request checks against those who acts improperly doing harm to those who do their work honestly. Fattoria di Certignano can accommodate 4 to 6 people in a small and nice village, where you can breathe the true and pure scent of the countryside.

In 2009 fortunately the reports of mass deaths of bees decreased compared to 2008 and 2010 expected an improvement. In 2008, the bee die-offs occurred during the sowing of corn, so it was easy to understand that improving their health was then in 2009 to ban the use of tanning for corn. In fact right on the labels of these drugs is indicated that the product contains a substance very toxic to bees. The fault of their plague is not attributable solely to tanning because one study noted that there may be other causes such as virus or plague. Today the project APEnet moritorare deals with the causes of this problem and to reduce the phenomena of the drift by improving the tannery. In 2009 we saw that the depopulation of hives depends not only on a single factor and that in 2010 you will need to understand the interactions that may occur. Italy finally echoed at Community level so that this important issue be addressed in parallel in the 27 member countries. So what led to the use of common measures, such as monitoring the EU territory, the use of suitable seed dressing and in professional installations.
