Community Strategic Guidelines 2007-2013
DG AGRI, November 2005
Rural Development
CSG 2
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)
CSG 3
The CSG will help to: identify and agree the areas where the use of EU
support for rural development will create the most value added at EU level;
make the link with the main EU priorities (Lisbon, Göteborg) and translate them into RD policy;
ensure consistency with other EU policies, in particular in the field of cohesion and environment;
accompany the implementation of the new market oriented Common Agricultural Policy and the necessary restructuring it will entail in the old and the new Member States.
CSG 4
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.
CSG 5
In order to meet the Community Priorities under Axis 1, MS will have to focus on issues such as:
Supporting the restructuring of the agricultural sector Improving integration in the food chain Developing business skills Developing new outlets for agricultural and forestry products Developing high quality products in line with market demand Improving the environmental performance of farms and
forestry
CSG 6
Examples of RD actions and measures in axis 1: restructuring and modernisation of farms transfer of know-how / innovation adoptation of innovations investments for on-farm use of renewable energy
sources investements to water saving technologies improvement of the economic value of the forests promotion for quality products
CSG 7
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 and traditional agricultural landscapes, water, and climate change.
CSG 8
In order to meet the Community Priorities under Axis 2, MS will have to focus on issues such as:
promoting environmental services and animal welfare
preserving the farmed landscape combating the climate change consolidating the contribution of organic
farming encouraging environmental win-win
initiatives
CSG 9
Examples of RD actions and measures in axis 2: supporting environmental management wetland management restoring forestry potential supporting organic production support to short rotation coppice maintaining traditional agricultural
landscapes promoting terrotorial balance
CSG 10
Community priorities
Axis 3: improving the quality of life in rural areas and encouraging diversification
Guideline 3: the resources devoted to axis 3 should contribute to the overarching priority of the creation of employment opportunities in the fields of diversification and quality of life.
CSG 11
In order to meet the Community Priorities under Axis 3, MS will have to focus on issues such as:
raising economic activity in rural areas encouraging the entry of women into labour market developing micro business training of young people encouraging the take up and diffusion of ICT developing innovative use of renewable sources upgrading local infrastructure
CSG 12
Examples of RD actions and measures in axis 3: diversification of rural activities innovation in micro-enterprises support to business creation support for larger use of ICT services for rural areas development of tourism
CSG 13
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.
CSG 14
In order to meet the Community Priorities under Axis 4, MS will have to focus on issues such as:
building local partnership capacity promoting public-private partnership promoting cooperation and innovation improving local governence
CSG 15
Distinctive features of RD actions in axis 4: Area based local strategies Public-private partnerships (local action
groups) Bottom up approach Multi-sectoral and integrated Innovative Cooperation Networking
CSG 16
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 17
Community priorities
Horizontal: complementarity between Community instruments
Guideline 6: create synergies between structural, employment and rural
development policies ensure complementarity and coherence between actions to be
financed by the ERDF, Cohesion Fund, ESF, EFF and EAFRD on a given territory and in a given field of activity.
the main guiding principles as regards the demarcation line and the coordination mechanisms between actions supported by the different Funds should be defined at the level of national strategic reference framework/national strategy plan.

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 1
Desired development farm structures (which farms to target)
Strengths/weaknesses agrifood sector Balance between restructuring and
innovation
CSG 21
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?)
CSG 22
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
