In global terms, these RDPs mean that 116 of the\u00a0118 different national and regional RDPs\u00a0have now been approved (covering nearly 95% of the EU funding), and\u00a0completed in 26 Member States\u00a0, with the others expected to be adopted in the coming few weeks.<\/p>\n

In global terms, in addition to nearly \u20ac 100\u00a0billion from the EU budget, these 118 RDPs will generate more than \u20ac 60 billion in further public funding (at national or regional level), plus large amounts in private funds.<\/p>\n

Initial figures show an impressive number of cumulative figures \u2013 restructuring and modernisation grants on more than 350\u00a0000 farm holdings around the EU with all the economic and environmental potential benefit that this brings; start-up support for approaching 180\u00a0000 young farmers; nearly 4 million training places; 3 000 interactive innovation projects under the\u00a0EIP; more than 1\/6 of farmland will be under contracts to support biodiversity or landscapes, and just over 10 million hectares of farmland will be farmed organically.<\/p>\n

The RDPs go beyond farming, however, with indication that more than 120 000 non-agricultural jobs will be directly created because of this investment; and 18 million people in rural areas will benefit from improved access to Broadband internet access, with the help that this brings in terms of helping facilitate new SMEs and improve the overall quality of life in rural areas.<\/p>\n

RDPs in Italy<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Today\u2019s green light for\u00a0Puglia\u00a0\u00a0and\u00a0Sicily\u00a0\u00a0mean that all\u00a023 Italian RDPs\u00a0\u2013 21 regional, as well as the national RDP and the Rural Network programme \u2013 have now been approved, providing a total amount of funding for Italy worth \u20ac 20.87 billion, of which \u20ac 10.44 billion\u00a0will come from the EU budget for Rural Development and \u20ac 10.43 billion from Italian public funds at national or regional level with further investment expected from private funds.<\/p>\n

As with all RDPs, today\u2019s approved programmes are designed to respond to economic, environmental and social issues in rural areas in line with the specific conditions and priorities of these regions, based on the menu of options available under the EU framework.<\/p>\n

This is clearly illustrated by the array of schemes outlined in these 2 programmes such as to give investment support to modernise and restructure 2 230 farms and to support almost 2\u00a0000 young farmers to launch their business in Puglia, or to have more than 1 000 jobs created in supported projects and more than 30% of the agricultural land under management contracts that improve biodiversity, water management and prevent soil erosion in Sicily.<\/p>\n

Taking all 23 national or regional RDPs in Italy, more than 20 000 young farmers will receive support to launch their businesses, 27 000 agricultural holdings will get investment support to modernise and restructure, 17% of irrigated land will switch to more efficient systems, and more than 3 000 jobs will be created through LEADER local development strategies.<\/p>\n

RDPs in France<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The all clear for the 5 remaining French Rural Development programmes (RDPs) \u2013 for\u00a0Guyane\u00a0,\u00a0Haute Normandie\u00a0,\u00a0Limousin\u00a0,\u00a0Lorraine\u00a0\u00a0and\u00a0Picardie\u00a0\u00a0\u2013 means that all\u00a030 French RDPs\u00a0\u2013 including the\u00a0national framework programme\u00a0\u00a0and the\u00a0national RDP\u00a0\u00a0and 22 for the French mainland\u00a0\u2013 have now been approved, providing a total amount of funding for France worth\u00a0\u20ac 15.9 billion, of which \u20ac 11.4 billion will come from the EU budget for Rural Development, and \u20ac 4.5 billion from public funds at national or regional level with further investment expected from private funds.<\/p>\n

As with all RDPs, today\u2019s approved programmes are designed to respond to economic, environmental and social issues in rural areas in line with the specific conditions and priorities of these regions, based on the menu of options available under the EU framework.<\/p>\n

Taking all 30 national or regional RDPs in France together, more than 38\u00a0000 young farmers will receive support to launch their businesses, 11.3% of agricultural holdings will get investment support to modernise and restructure, more than 150\u00a0000 people will receive additional training and nearly 500 000 farm holdings will be supported to sign up for risk management tools. Moreover, roughly 2.8 million hectares in France will be covered by agri-environment and climate measures. And nearly 17 million rural inhabitants will benefit from improved services, notably high speed internet connection and approaching 3 000 jobs will be created alone through LEADER local development strategies.<\/p>\n

Background<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Support for\u00a0Rural Development\u00a0is the 2nd\u00a0Pillar of the\u00a0Common Agricultural Policy, providing Member States with an envelope of EU funding to manage nationally or regionally under multiannual, co-funded programmes.<\/p>\n

In total, 118 programmes are foreseen in all 28 Member States.<\/p>\n

The new\u00a0RD Regulation\u00a0\u00a0for the 2014-2020 period addresses six economic, environmental and social priorities, and programmes contain clear targets setting out what is to be achieved. It put also emphasis on networking activities at EU and national level.<\/p>\n

Moreover, in order to coordinate actions better and maximise synergies with the other European Structural & Investment Funds (ESIF), aPartnership Agreement\u00a0has been agreed with each Member State highlighting its broad strategy for EU-funded structural investment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
