The European Leader rural development program is one of the successes of the #EU. However, rural development cannot be limited to 5% of the EAFRD. Regional authorities in France want to dedicate 10% of the ERDF envelope to the territorial approach. @ThibautGuignard #EUlocal

'Rural proofing' of all European policies is vital. This analysis from a rural perspective is key to ensure that all mechanisms are aligned with the needs & realities of #RuralAreas, from the very beginning when shaping #EU policies. @ThibautGuignard #CoRplenary #EUlocal @EU_CoR

While rural areas are home to 30% of the population and cover 80% of EU territory, only 25% of the 2014-2020 #Cohesion Funds have reached them. This is why the @EU_CoR requested the possibility of multi-fund participation in CLLD in all #EU regions. @ThibautGuignard #CoRplenary

Delighted to chair the @EU_CoR plenary debate on #EUlocal matters. A concern of mine is to bridge the gap between 🇪🇺 and the everyday concerns of citizens in Europe's villages, towns, cities and regions. Hearing views on #CohesionPolicy in rural areas was a highlight.
