New EU Programming Period
Why territorial dimension in the EU?
Why territorial dimension ?
Difference in GDP/pax between the most developed and poorest EU region is 13x
The richest EU region is 3x above EU average, the poorest one 4x below
Significant polarisation between rural and urban areas, esp. in SE Europe – Bratislava, Praha, Budapest
Tematic interventions in the current programming period 2014 – 2020 proved to support and deepen the inequality between rural and urban areas
What are the instruments to face it ???
ITI (Integrated Territorial Investments)
Top-down approach Strategic integrated investments to the area specified in
advance Combination of soft and hard instruments Combination of different EU funds + interventions = synergy
effect Engaging all stakeholders = public-private partnership Delegation of in-advance planning, decision making and
financing to the hands of regional players = „EU subsidiarity principle“
What are the instruments to face it ???
CLLD (Community-led local development)
Area-based approach Bottom-up approach Local public-private partnerships: Local Action Groups Innovative approach Integrated and multi-sectoral approach Networking Cooperation De-centralised administration

Role of LAGs in the Czech Republic
LAG as LEADER/CLLD implementation body
LAG as beneficiary
LAG as animator in the rural areas
LAG as a building stone of partnership and strategy on regional level
Struggle for CLLD+++++++
huge support of regional partners Accociation of Local Governments Association of Regions Accociation of Cities National Network of LAGs
very good political support strength of the National Network of LAGs
178 out of 181 LAGs as members
almost 100% coverage of area
Struggle for CLLD- - - - - - -
political instability institutional instability length and exhausting from the negotiating
process LEADER as such very limited in relation to LAG
needs at least 5% co-financing of running and
animation costs (and just 10% overall)
Think globally… …act
locally
