The ENRD Seminar on ‘Improving RDP implementation’ highlighted the need to make more effective use of existing simplification tools, such as Simplified Cost Options (SCOs), to ease the administrative burden in RDP implementation.
Participants recognised that the ENRD can add value to the process at the national level by collecting and disseminating good methodological practices relating to the management aspects of RDPs (such as capacity building) and specific measures (such as investments in physical assets).
The Seminar was attended by around 100 ENRD stakeholders in Brussels on 11 June 2015. It forms part of the wider ENRD Contact Point work on the topic of ‘Improving RDP implementation’, including Thematic Group meetings, training workshops and issue 20 of the EU Rural Review due for publication this summer.
See the Seminar webpage for more information and a collection of good methodological practices presented at the event. The Seminar report will be available shortly.
