11th financial report on the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development – 2017 financial year

Summary:

Each year the Commission draws up a financial report on the administration of the EAFRD during the previous budget year, and submits it to the European Parliament and the Council. This report covers the 2017 financial year.

Further information:

For over 50 years, the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) has been the European Union's most important common policy. It has taken a large part of the EU's budget, with a declining percentage over recent years.

The CAP is financed by two funds which form part of the EU's general budget, the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund (EAGF) and the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD).

The EAFRD finances the EU's contribution to rural development programmes.
