Abstract
In this article the author analyses the new guidelines for the rural development policy in the EU, after over a decade of experience by the Leader project, and separating the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) in two main pillars: the first, to regulate markets within the framework of the COMs; and the second, to modernise and improve farming and promote activities that are more respectful of the environment within the framework of the environmental programme. In the author’s opinion, the new Rural Development Regulation and the creation of new funding (FEADER) offers a chance to merge agricultural and countryside development and avoid the tendency to separate farmers from the rest of the rural population. The wide scope for manoeuvre on the part of national and regional governments in applying the aforesaid regulation means that agricultural and rural matters will once more be a focal point of political agendas, which means a high level of responsibility not only for governments, but also for professional agricultural organisations and co–operatives, rural development networks and the rest of the groups that make up the backbone of rural society.
