Italian Programming system
Need for strategy and governance
Regions RDP programming within national strategy (NSP)
In some Regions: Provinces are entitled to set some programming choices (delegation of competences) within Regional strategy (RDP)
Subsidiarity in the implementation
How RDP measures have to be implemented ?
Starting from the administrative level closer to the farmer (21 Regions; in some cases Provinces) The use of T.A (human resources and training) supports such approach
4
Italian Programming system 1 national strategy (Ministry) NSP 21 RDPs managed by
Regions
Further decentralization in some Regions, i.e: Tuscany Emilia Romagna Lombardy Campania
Involvement of local authorities (Provinces; Mountain Communities)
RDP programming possibility to add “second class” priorities to Regional “first class priorities” set in RDPs
Implementation of some RDP measures (depending from delegated competences at Regional level)
• Concerning 2000-2006 RDPs management, Italy experienced 100% financial efficiency on resources allocated on whole programming period (4.624 Billions of Euro).

NATIONAL RURAL NETWORK 2007 - 2013
• Art 67 EC Reg. 1698/2005 establishes the European Rural Network • Art 68 EC Reg. 1698/2005 establishes National Rural Networks • Art 66 (3 par) : MS with regionalized programming system NRN as
a single Programme
ITALIAN NATIONAL RURAL NETWORK good timing
Decision of Approval C(2007) n. 3824, 14th August 2007
BEFORE ALL ITALIAN RDPs ability to start activities in 2008
FIRST “NRN Programme” approval in EU
BUDGET 83 millions of EURO (50% EAFRD)
8
NATIONAL RURAL NETWORK 2007 - 2013
• Programme (Decision of Approval C(2007) n. 3824, 14th August 2007)
• Action Plan (implementing document for 2007 – 2013) approved by Monitoring Committee on March 2008
• Annual Plans (list of activities for the year; related organization, implementation and costs)
9
NATIONAL RURAL NETWORK 2007 - 2013• NRN Key element of national policy defined in NATIONAL STRATEGIC
PLAN (NSP)
MAIN CHALLENGES
• Widening the participation in Rural development Policies (RDPs address and NRN activities)
• Overcoming national differences ( human resources’ skills, RDP management, procedures, monitoring & evaluation)
• International dimension (exchange of experiences, good practises, innovations)
NRN ADDED VALUE
TO ENHANCE NSP and RDP : PERFORMACES, IMPACTS, FINANCIAL EFFICIENCY (N+2) rule, INTEGRATION AMONG POLICIES
Better Knowledge and Visibility of Rural Development Policies’ role and
impacts
10
NATIONAL RURAL NETWORK 2007 - 2013WHICH MEMBERS ?
OPEN and INCLUSIVE approach
• According to art. 68 (1) National Partners:
– ALL administrations engaged in RD (national, regional, GAL, etc.)
– ALL organizations engaged in RD (professional, environmental, technical, cultural, chambers of industry-commerce, cooperatives, other networks; NGO’s)
• European Rural Network and every relevant international partners (international organizations, Think Thanks, NGO’s, other NRN)
• LIST of 15 Networks having a role to play in rural areas (i.e Consumers, Universities, Euro Info Centres, National contact points of VI-
VII° EU Research Programme, European Business and Innovations Centres (BIC), Interact, EUROPE DIRECT centres, etc…. )
11
HOW TO MAKE NRN? INCLUDING “Key actors” as NRN MEMBERS and organizing the
competences they can give participation to NRN activities through THEMATIC TASK FORCES
THEMATIC WORKING GROUPS set by Italian NRN: LEADER Approach, MONITORING and EVALUATION FARM COMPETITIVENESS ENVIRONMENT and CROSS COMPLIANCE (soil, water resources, climatic
changes, agro-energies, biodiversity) FORESTS LANDSCAPE CHANGE, INTEGRATED PROGRAMMING (among measures, food chains) INTEGRATION among RD and OTHER POLICIES YOUNG FARMERS and equal opportunities
INTEGRATING NRN with other NETWORKS (national / international; official and not) IN ORDER TO EXPAND NRN activity results
12
NRN members: formal institution
Art. 41 (4) EC Reg. 1974/2006 : 31/12/2008 deadline for establishing the Network
National procedure: through NATIONAL STANDING FORUM (action 1.2.1) formal Ministry Act (related publicity)
Possibility to widen this list at Regional Level (Regions can formally identify further members, relevant at regional level, by 31/12/2008)
Open approach: other / further members can be part of NRN
“Ministry” ad “National Unit for Animation and Coordination” classify such members in thematic tasks forces in order to provide bestefficiency in action implementation

NATIONAL RURAL NETWORK 2007 - 2013
EU RURAL DEVELOPMENT POLICY
• MAKING EUROPEAN AGRICULTURE MORE COMPETITIVE
• SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT • More DIVERSIFICATION & better QUALITY of LIFE
Interaction among National Rural Networks tool for Enhancing Rural Development Policy performances and impacts
26
NATIONAL RURAL NETWORK 2007 - 2013WHAT THE ITALIAN RURAL MODEL CAN OFFER ?
• 21 administrative models from which it is possible to get several administrative and managing solutions;
• RDPs implementation in a wide range of “agricultural and environmental systems” possibility to transfer experiences in other contexts
• Agriculture based on “quality products”, “diversification”, “organic and integrated agriculture”, “strong cooperative association of farmers”
CONCERNING THE NETWORK (use of Technical Assistance)
“More NRN action plans in the Member States will be similar and compatible, bigger will be the effects and results of the networking activity; this will allow to create synergies for tackling common problems and improving public policies effectiveness”
