European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development - Comparisons Between Member States on Budget Allocation and Absorption

Summary/Abstract: EU policies aim to overcome these barriers which affect rural areas and which must in most cases lead to a change in the status of disadvantaged regions. Therefore, the cohesion of the EU area, of all regions / areas is included in Community policies, environmental policy and climate change, as it is known that rural areas are extremely vulnerable to a number of negative and less controllable factors, namely: climate, birth rate, level of education, state of health, poor general infrastructure (supply of electricity and heat, sewerage, transport infrastructure, etc.). To this end, the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) is intended to support the EU's strategy by funding specific programs in the Member States. For efficiency, any investment program is developed by the European Commission in partnership with each Member State, pursuing the specific objectives of the rural development policy adopted by the Council. It should be noted that each program includes a set of strategic priorities related to those set at national level. The article analyzes the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development and makes comparisons between Member States on budget allocation and absorption.
