Rural Development

Community Strategic

Regulation and Guidelines

• RDR => purpose and scope of assistance from

the RD fund

• CSG => EU level priorities within the RDR

framework, in particular focus on

sustainability (Göteborg) and growth and jobs

(Lisbon)

Community priorities

• Axis 1: improving the competitiveness of the agricultural and forestry sectors
• Guideline 1: the resources devoted to axis 1 should contribute to a strong and dynamic European agrifood sector by focusing on the priorities of knowledge transfer, modernisation and innovation in the food chain and priority sectors for investment in physical and human capital.

Community priorities

• Axis 2: improving the environment and countryside
• Guideline 2: the resources devoted to axis 2 should contribute to three EU level priority areas: biodiversity and preservation of high nature value farming and forestry systems, water, and climate change.

Community priorities

• Axis 4 (Leader): building local capacity for employment and diversification
• Guideline 4: the resources devoted to axis 4 should contribute to the priorities of axis 1 and 2 and in particular of axis 3, but also play an important role in the priority of improving governance and mobilising the endogenous development potential of rural areas.

Community priorities

• Horizontal: ensuring consistency in

programming

• Guideline 5: elements to take into account

 Maximise synergies in and between axes

 Develop integrated approaches where appropriate

 Other EU level strategies (organic farming, renewable energy sources, climate change, forestry strategy and action plan, thematic environmental strategies)

CSG NSP

Internal consistency/other EU level strategies

Complementarity with other Community instruments

EU priorities:

• Knowledge transfer/priority investment sectors
• Biodiversity/water/climate change
• Creation employment opportunities
• Governance/endogenous development potential

• National priorities

Overall strategy issues

• Balance between the axes based on an

assessment of the economic, social and

environmental situation and of needs and

gaps

• Weight of the different EU and national

priorities

• Match funding capacity

• Implementation capacity (national, regional,

local)

Strategic issues axis 2

• Balance between AE, Natura and LFA

• AE: role organic farming (link axis 1),

importance certain farming types and

landscapes for rural diversification (link axis 3)

• Water management

• Afforestation needs (abandoned farm land?)

Strategic issues axis 3 and 4

• Balance between rural infrastructure/

renovation/basic services and

diversification/local economic development

• Choice of delivery system for axis 3 (top down

or bottom up)

• Balance between local capacity building and

implementing local development strategies
