ARP/186/2002, of 3rd June, for which the base regulations of assistance in the application for the economic diversification of rural areas participating in the Proder programme are approved and those corresponding to the period 2002-2006 are called.

The Council’s Regulation EC 1257/1999, of 17th of May, establishes the grounds of common assistance by the EAGGF, supporting a sustainable rural development with a view to accompany and compliment other instruments within the common agricultural policy. This Regulation EC 1257/1999, which establishes the grounds of assistance for twenty-two developmental measures, establishes in chapter 9 those relating to the growth, adaptation and development of rural areas.

Title 3 of the same Regulation EC 1257/1999 foresees that the application of such assistance shall take place with preliminary approval by the rural development programmes’ commission, carried out by competent authorities which shall be developed within a seven year period beginning on the 1st of January 2000.

The Catalan Government, by means of the Governmental agreement of 13th December 1999, approved the Rural Development Programme (RDP) in Catalonia, for the period 2000-2006, which was presented and approved by the EU Commission by means of the Resolution of 14th of September 2000 (RDP-5).

The application of certain measures of development in rural areas is covered in this programme, using the methodology of local action groups based on the experiences of operational groups in previous periods, with the management of the Leader Community rural development initiative.

The Order of 18th of September 2001 (DOGC no. 3478, of 21.09.2001), regulated the selection process for rural development programmes and local action groups in the application of economical diversification measures in the Proder rural areas. The Rural Development General Direction’s Resolution of 20th of December 2002 approved and selected the ten groups that shall participate in the management of these acts.

It is therefore necessary to establish an administration system for assistance, which would facilitate the application of measures to increase the diversification of economic activity in Catalonia’s rural areas, in accordance with the approved planning for the period 2000-2006.

As a consequence, in agreement with the Spanish Royal Decree 2/2002 of 11th of January (BOE no. 11, of 12.01.2002) and the Decree 9/1994, of 13th of July, on which the revised text of the Law of Public Finances of Catalonia is approved and using the attributions which have been conferred to me,
