Summary:

Following the fundamental reform of the first pillar of the Common Agricultural Policy in 2003 and 2004, the major focus for policy reform in the new financial period will be rural development.

With over half of the population in EU-25 living in rural areas, which cover 90% of the territory, rural development is an important policy domain. Farming and forestry remain of overriding importance for land use and the management of natural resources in the EU's rural areas and important as a platform for economic diversification in rural communities.
