Summary/Abstract: The rural areas development in the European Union is being shaped by many different issues. One result from the evolution of the approach and support within the framework of Common Agricultural Policy of the European Union – as the process of “greening” or the regionalisation of this policy. Others are a result of the change in the external (global) environment as, for instance, negotiations within the World Trade Organisation (WTO) or the changes issuing from the global conditions or from the global crisis. Finally, they could be an effect of the implementation of the strategic document such as “Europe 2020 – strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth”. The article enumerates the most important directions or challenges for rural areas in the light of the document “Europe 2020” realisation, which is correlated with the new EU financial perspective 2014-2020.
