Rural Development. 2.50 The strategy aimed at increasing economic growth, improving infrastructure , developing skills and placing increased emphasis on harnessing local com- munity leadership and local initiative will have an important impact on the rural economy and the regions within which the various rural areas are situated. Strengthening the competitiveness of rural economies and providing adequate safeguards for the more vulnerable in rural society requires an integrated approach and an effective partnership between State organisations, social partners and the voluntary sector. Agriculture and food co-operatives and the organisations have a key role in this integrated approach. In the light of the consultants’ forthcoming evaluations of the Operational Programme for Rural Development and LEADER, it is intended to examine how this role can be developed. In addition, the involvement of the organisations in promotional activities related to rural development initiatives will also be examined.

Rural Development. 3.3.1. It should be clear that the "Common Rural Development Policy" which is included into the package of the Agenda is not considered to be an independent policy. In fact, the relevant Regulation aims to be an integral part of CAP, accompanying and complementing the other instruments (price support, market management measures, direct payments), contributing therefore to the achievement of the overall objectives of CAP laid down in the Article 33 (ex 39) of the Treaty. Additionally, it is known that, after the Maastricht and Amsterdam Treaties, all the sectoral policies (including, of course, CAP and CRDP), should take seriously into account the objectives of economic & social cohesion (Article 130) and should contribute to their achievement. Therefore, the proposed Rural Development measures should contribute to the cohesion of: • Regions whose development is lagging behind (Objective 1) and • Regions facing structural difficulties Rural Development Policy is supposed to follow the principle of subsidiarity (decentralised policy, emphasis on participation, "bottom-up" approach), that is the Community measures are coming to supplement (and not replace) the national measures. That is why, at the Community level, only basic support criteria are laid down. Practically, this means that the measures proposed and accepted in the final agreement are and will remain under the co- financing principle. However, support offered by the M-S alone would be subject to the specific State Aid rules. For the monitoring and the evaluation of the Rural Development support, appropriate rules are established, using as reference well-defined indicators.
