RESOLUTION ARP/1498/2002, of 28th of May, approving and publicizing the criteria for priority and specific lists related to the selected local action groups' programmes for the application of the Proder programme.

This Resolution presents the strategic guidelines, orientation and criteria for priority of the action proposals, corresponding to the Proder group of the GTDC.

PURPOSE OF THE ACTIONS AND AUXILIARY PROJECTS  

The purpose of the actions and auxiliary projects for each of three RDP measures forming the Proder programme are defined as follows.

MEASURE M 5. PROMOTING THE COMMERCIALISATION OF HIGH QUALITY FARM PRODUCTS AND HANDMADE FOOD PRODUCTS

Subsides will be granted to investments performed by crafts companies selling high-quality products aimed at:

  • The introduction of new businesses and the improvement of commercialisation installations of quality farm products and handmade food products.
  • The introduction and improvement of quality control systems.
  • The promotion of new openings in the market for high quality agricultural and handmade products.
  • The improvement and control of sanitary and environmental conditions.

MEASURE P. DIVERSIFICATION OF FARMING AND SIMILAR ACTIVITIES TO INCREASE THE POSSIBILITIES OF NEW JOBS IN ALTERNATIVE INCOME

Aimed at:

  • The creation and improvement of activity towards the diversification of traditional farming production of the area.
  • The promotion of alternative activities such as agricultural tourism and others related to farming and land cultivation.
  • The creation and improvement of small industrial enterprises which in turn create jobs in rural areas.
  • The expansion and creation of companies in the service sector in rural areas: business support, community services, logistics, communications, transport, commerce…
  • Promotional activities, the publication of newsletters, the organization of open days and technical support.
    The creation and improvement of small companies dealing with forestry activities.

MEASURE S. PROMOTION OF TOURISM AND CRAFTS

  • It deals with activities linked to rural life and its re-conversion which cannot be considered as applicable within the rural development measures promoting the rural activities diversification, as they do not comply with the conditions required in Chapter I of Title I of the R(EC) 1257/1999.
  • Investment in rural areas, either individually or collectively, with a view to the development of a touristic activity: lodging farmhouses, rural guesthouses, restaurants, campsites, actions related to tourism at an institutional level (tourist offices, publicity campaigns, advertisements, and information on routes and itineraries), leisure activities and companies (adventure sports, hiking, horse riding, etc.), and private complementary actions (cultural, sportive…).
  • The development of craft companies is, along with tourism, another rural promotion diversification means. Local resources and products which have been traditionally manufactured in rural areas and traditional crafts must also be promoted and supported. Many small companies should be endorsed, standardization must be promoted and so must be the commercialisation of local and regional products to increase their added value.
