  6. Old MS New MS Rural Development Policy 2007-2013State of play EAFRD-Expenditure in Axis 1(Competitiveness) as % of Total by MS Ø 34,7 % Axis 4 split and added to the relevant axes

  10. Rural Development Policy 2007-2013State of play Indicative use of Funds under the LEADER Axis

  11. Four generations of Leader The method consolidated and now ‘mainstreamed’ with 3 Measures, local strategies, cooperation and LAG operation. Mainstreaming = Normalisation Mainstreaming piloted in Spain, Ireland, Finland and Italy delivering Article 33 elements Only Finland fully mainstreamed the approach New Member States applied a limited version of the method, mainly cooperation and networking Leader I to Mainstreaming

  12. LAG selection not yet complete Commission have 21 programmes finalised, 500 LAGs formally selected Anticipate 1,500 LAGs minimum Equal to or greater than before Where equal more territory or people Only Valencia reduced Wider Application: The Current Position

  13. Wider applicability Different answers to similar questions Thematic concentration vs wider accessibility Only 21 programmes limited to Axis 3 Axis 2 challenges but some are picking up Some have full Axis 3 responsibility Variety of thematic concentration Wider Leader Commitments

  14. Liguria 30% Northern Ireland 25.7% Aragon and Saarland 15% Sardinia 14% Extramadura 13.95% Schleswig Holstein 13.25% Valencia, Pais Vasco & Andalucia 13% Castillia la Mancha 12.27% Cantabria 12% Navarra 11.65% Catalonia 11.6% Murcia 11.53% Asturias 11.25% Guyane 11.1% Madeira 11% Larger Leader Commitments

  15. Old MS New MS A Major Challenge EAFRD-Expenditure for Leader as % of Total by Member States Ø 6,06 %

  16. Stimulation of innovation remains a priority underpinning the Leader method Don’t be tied to a detailed list of eligible activity Selection criteria to prioritise innovation which is integrated with the local strategy Selection criteria to require clear and measurable objectives related to strategy Groups should look at linking Measures, responding to the Axis objectives with new types of project Continue to experiment with new forms of governance and ways of involving people Take the greatest possible advantage of cooperation opportunities Innovation as a Priority; the Leader Experiment

  17. Not possible to estimate potential in the absence of full set of strategies Self evaluation will be critical in contributing to the measurement of success in mainstreaming Mainstreaming poses challenges to local competences with new groups and new questions Leader remains largely limited to small scale support with limited resources Need to be able to assess real impact on area, to measure advances but taking account of budgets which are not significantly increased Groups must therefore question what makes financial sense, how to optimise the priorities of cooperation, working together and the pursuit of innovation The role and importance of evaluating what is achieved is therefore heightened The Remaining Challenges
