Description
The EU Regulation on support for rural development by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD Regulation) is the basis which establishes the range of possible measures for rural development. These two days address the financial managing of the second pillar of the Common Agriculture Policy dealing with rural development. It will be elaborated how to ensure coherence between the first pillar and what the challenges are for the specific national and regional implementation of the fund. Does the focus lie on sustainability as said by the European Commission? What are the challenges for the Member States with respect to eligibility rules, state aid or reporting requirements? Which instruments can contribute to the simplification of project and programme management?

The following specific issues will be covered in detail: simplified cost options, auditing requirements and rules on state aid, information and project administration and monitoring. Speakers from the European Commission and the Member States will help participants to better understand the challenges of the implementation of the new rules and procedures.
