Rural Development. 3.3.1. It should be clear that the "Common Rural Development Policy" which is included into the package of the Agenda is not considered to be an independent policy. In fact, the relevant Regulation aims to be an integral part of CAP, accompanying and complementing the other instruments (price support, market management measures, direct payments), contributing therefore to the achievement of the overall objectives of CAP laid down in the Article 33 (ex 39) of the Treaty. Additionally, it is known that, after the Maastricht and Amsterdam Treaties, all the sectoral policies (including, of course, CAP and CRDP), should take seriously into account the objectives of economic & social cohesion (Article 130) and should contribute to their achievement. Therefore, the proposed Rural Development measures should contribute to the cohesion of: • Regions whose development is lagging behind (Objective 1) and • Regions facing structural difficulties Rural Development Policy is supposed to follow the principle of subsidiarity (decentralised policy, emphasis on participation, "bottom-up" approach), that is the Community measures are coming to supplement (and not replace) the national measures. That is why, at the Community level, only basic support criteria are laid down. Practically, this means that the measures proposed and accepted in the final agreement are and will remain under the co- financing principle. However, support offered by the M-S alone would be subject to the specific State Aid rules. For the monitoring and the evaluation of the Rural Development support, appropriate rules are established, using as reference well-defined indicators. 3.3.2. The new Regulation establishes a framework for Community Support for Rural Development. The Farm Ministers agreed to accept the proposals, by making only some partial changes. • The main (and perhaps the only) change of the proposal is to combine all the existing rural and structural measures into one piece of legislation, contributing therefore to the simplification of the system. • The new Regulation includes all the existing rural development measures in the certain order. It is designed to have implementing measures attached, which can be used by the M-S invited to set their own local programme priorities from a menu of options. • There will be two groups of measures financed by FEOGA: (a) The three 1992 accompanying measures plus the LFA scheme, financed by the Guarantee Section (horizontally), and (b) Measures conce...

  • Training and Development 3.1 Authorities will develop local 'Workforce Development Plans (see Part 4.8),' closely linked to their service delivery plans, which will provide the focus for the establishment of training and development priorities. Training and development should be designed to meet the corporate and service needs of authorities both current and in the future, taking into account the individual needs of employees. Local schemes on training and development should enable authorities to attain their strategic objectives through development of their employees. Training and development provisions should be shaped to local requirements and take account of the full range of learning methods. Such an approach should enable access to learning for all employees. The needs of part time employees and shift workers need particular consideration. 3.2 Employees attending or undertaking required training are entitled to payment of normal earnings; all prescribed fees and other relevant expenses arising.
