The thematic debate aims to discuss
- The state of play after 2 years of implementation of the long-term vision
- The contribution of the CAP and Cohesion Policy to the vision
- Challenges, opportunities, and enhanced funding access for civil society organisations, enterprises and social economy in rural areas
- Governance and stakeholders involvement in decision-making processes in rural areas
Through the sessions, the hearing will collect views on the concrete measures required to ensure the successful implementation of the long-term vision, emphasising the role of financing and effective governance in shaping a sustainable rural/urban development.
The debate will feed into the preparation of the own-initiative opinion Towards a European Rural Agenda. This opinion will seek to identify and understand the comprehensive dynamics of rural areas, extending beyond agriculture to include SMEs, microenterprises, services, and tourism. The opinion will also address the issues of funding and optimisation and streamlining of budget allocation.
This event will be webstreamed in 3 languages EN; FR; ES.
