RURAL AREAS DEVELOPMENT WITHIN REFORMS OF THE COMMON AGRICULTURAL POLICY AND COHESION POLICY OF THE EUROPEAN UNION

Abstract

The paper deals with analysis and complex assessment of reformed CAP and cohesion policy of EU compatibility within the frames of regional development and rural areas development. The analysis of structure and changes in EU budget expenditures on these polices was done as well as discussion on future reforms, objectives changes and measures after 2013 within these two fundamental EU polices. Experiences from 2007–2013 programming period as well as fi rst experiences from practical realization numerous programs in 2007, 2008 and 2009 show that similar measures within CAP and Cohesion Policy are overlapping what leads to necessity for introducing numerous imperfect bureaucracy demarcation lines between measures that as a consequence leads to dispersion and inefficiency in the public means utilization in area of rural areas development support.
