6 Union priorities for rural development
1. Knowledge transfer / innovation in agriculture, forestry, rural areas
2. Viability of all types of farming in all regions; innovative farm technologies;
Sustainable management of forests
3. Food chain organisation, animal welfare, risk management in agriculture
4. Ecosystems related to agriculture and forestry
5. Resource efficiency, low-carbon / climate-resilient economy in
agriculture, food and forestry sectors
6. Social inclusion, poverty reduction and economic development in rural areas

Required minimum budgetary allocations
•
A minimum amount of the total EAFRD contribution to the RDP
must be reserved as follows:
 At least 30% for:
 environment- and climate-related investments (Article 18)
 forestry measures (Articles 22-27 and Article 35)
 agri-environment-climate (Article 29)
 organic farming (Article 30)
 Natura 2000 payments (Article 31 with the exception of WFD
related payments)
 Payments in areas facing natural constraints (ANCs - Articles 3233)
 At least 5% for Leader
10
Other considerations
"Show me the money"
• Total EAFRD amount 2014-2020: € 84,936 M
• Basic maximum co-financing rate = 53 %
• Higher maximum rates for various regions
 Less developed regions, outermost regions, smaller Aegean
Islands, transition regions
• Higher maximum rates for certain measures
 Knowledge transfer (art. 15), producer groups (art. 28), cooperation (art. 36), LEADER
• Higher maximum rate for operations contributing to
environment- and climate-related objectives
 Under arts. 18, 23, 24, 29, 30, 31 (3 / 4), 32, 35
• Higher rates in various other circumstances
 E.g. funds transferred from Pillar I (100 %)

Measures: the overall approach
•
Some measures from 2007-13 rolled together for better visibility
•
Many adjustments to scope, eligibility conditions, aid amounts etc.
of existing measures, e.g.:
 Shorter contracts for agri-environment-climate measure after initial 5year phase
• New measures to cover emerging needs, e.g.:
 Co-operation (art. 36) – various forms of joint activity to deliver
economic, environmental & social benefits; technological development
(including for European Innovation Partnership)
 Risk management (art. 37) – insurance, mutual funds, income
stabilisation tool
13
RD measures
Farm and business development (art. 20)
•
3 types of operations:
 Setting-up aid for:
 Young Farmers
– Conditional on the submission of a business plan, which has to start being
implemented within 9 months from the date of the decision granting the aid.
 Non-agricultural activities in rural areas: extended from micro- to small
businesses)
 Development of small farms: extended to all "small" farms in EU - defined by
Member States
 Investments in non-agricultural activities
 Support for farm restructuring
 Annual or one-off payments for farmers eligible for the small farmers scheme
under Pillar 1 who permanently transfer their holding to another farmer
•
Aid rates:

70.000 per young farmer

70.000 per beneficiary who diversifies

15.000 per small farm for development operations

LEADER in rural development programmes
•
constitutes a specific element of CLLD to be included
obligatory in a RDP:
 preparatory support;
 implementation of operations under the CLLD strategy;
 preparation and implementation of co-operation activities of the
LAG;
 running costs;
 animation costs.
•
LEADER should not be limited to standard RD measures.
•
Streamlined LEADER cooperation
•
Compulsory with a minimum of 5% of the EAFRD funding per
programme and possibility of higher co-financing rates
16
RD measures
Advantages of the common CLLD approach for LEADER
•
Common local development approach in the ESI-Funds
facilitates integrated territorial development
EAFRD
Rural
area
 Harmonised rules for design
and implementation of CLLD
 "Multi-funded" LEADER
strategies enable various EU
policies to contribute to local
development according to
their policy objectives
ERDF
ESF
- Strategic approach in PA, reflected in
the programmes, based on LAG/FLAG
experience
 Added value for rural areas:
broader strategies and Local
Action Group partnerships,
improvement of rural-urban
relations, synergies with
Fisheries Local Action Groups
- Which types of areas should be
supported and with which of the Funds?
What is the available funding?
- LAGs decide to which extent they
want to make use of the possibilities
offered
17
RD measures
Advantages of the common CLLD approach for LEADER
•
Common methodology strengthens the LEADER approach
(Art. 28-31 CPR)
 Greater focus on capacity building and animation
 Stronger local strategies
 Better LAG governance: strengthening the participation of the
private sector in the partnerships
- Contribution to
programme objectives
- Coherence and
consistency with "topdown" or other strategies
- Local needs identified
through SWOT analysis
- Bottom-up process

EIP on Agricultural Productivity and Sustainability
•
A new facility for building bridges between research and
practice, whilst encouraging innovation
•
Acts through operational groups carrying out innovative
projects
 Model story of an operational group: a farmer has an innovative idea
but does not have means to develop it. He/she joins forces with e.g. a
scientist, a farm advisor and a technology supplier and they set up an
operational group. The idea is developed and shared via the networks.
EAFRD co-finances project-specific costs and costs of co-operation.
•
Supported by a national and EU network
 National network can be part of the Rural Network
•
Key RD measures for implementing the EIP:

Co-operation

Investments (various measures)

Knowledge transfer

Advisory services
