| Abstract: | Complexity and variable uptake of CAP
(Pillar 2) measures and rural diversity of the EU provide
significant challenges for evaluation. The rationale of indepth
case study analysis as an essential complement to
formal evaluation techniques is illustrated with
comparative studies of employment impacts of Pillar
Two policies in 6 rural areas in different EU member
states. Recommendations arising include accelerated
shifts from commodity support to measures
strengthening non-farm sectors of the rural economy,
whilst retaining support for farming adaptation; use of
clear structural indicators and local expertise to
determine priorities; and integration of Pillar Two
policies with other measures in consistent, spatially
nested Action Plans for Rural Development which set
targets for improvement in economic and demographic
performance. |
