  • Cooperation actions with expanded scope between different actors in the rural development sector. It is provided, amongst others, the establishment of operational groups of the European Innovation Partnership for Productivity and Sustainability of Agriculture, aiming to connect agricultural research and practice.

  • A series of measures, including: Development of small farms, Start-up aids non-agricultural activities in rural areas, Investments in forest areas, Development and improvement of the viability of forests, Setting-up of producer groups and organizations.

  • The fact that the LEADER approach for local development acquires – in addition to the multi-sectorial – a multi-fund character and constitutes the "Local development strategies with the initiative of local communities".

  • Providing an extended decentralised implementation of concrete measures and actions.
