Article 37

1. Support for rural development shall be granted only for measures which comply with Community law. 2. Such measures shall be consistent with other Community policies and measures implemented thereunder. In particular, no measure which falls within the scope of this Regulation shall be eligible for support under other Community support schemes if it is incompatible with any specific condition laid down in this Regulation. 3. Consistency shall also be ensured with measures implemented under other instruments of the common agricultural policy, and in particular between rural development support measures on the one hand and measures implemented under the common market organisations and agricultural quality and health measures on the other hand, as well as between the different rural development support measures. Accordingly, no support under this Regulation may be granted for: measures falling within the scope of support schemes under common market organisations, with the exceptions, justified by objective criteria, that may be defined according to Article 50, measures to support research projects, to promote agricultural products or to eradicate animal diseases. 4. Member States may lay down further or more restrictive conditions for granting Community support for rural development provided that such conditions are consistent with the objectives and requirements laid down in this Regulation.
