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
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
