EC approves Poland’s rural development program

The European Commission has approved Poland’s rural development program for 2014-2020, the institution said in a press release on Friday. It also approved programs put forward by Denmark and Austria. So far, these are the only three EC-approved rural development programs for the EU’s new financial perspective. Another six are to follow next week. The EC stressed that Poland’s program aims “to create more than 22,000 jobs, provide investment support to roughly 200 000 farms and to establish some 1,800 producer groups.”
