(6) The Conclusions of the European Council of 12 December 2008 record the European Council's supports under the EERP, in particular, developing broadband internet, including in areas that are poorly served. Because rural areas often suffer from insufficient internet access, support for broadband infrastructures and related facilities in rural areas should be strengthened under the support of EAFRD. Given the importance of this priority, Member States should provide in their programmes for operations related to this priority by the end of 2009. A list of types of operations related to broadband infrastructures should be established in order to allow Member States to identify the relevant operations in the context of the legal framework for rural development.

Recital 10
(10) Rural areas often lack broadband infrastructure both small and larger scale. The latter may bare crucial for serving less accessible rural areas such as islands and mountain regions. In order to ensure the most effective use of available resources and to allow a substantive development of the broadband internet in rural areas, the pertinent operations should be considered eligible without limitation in the size of the related infrastructure. Therefore, the existing limitation in size for infrastructure in basic services for economy and rural population should not apply to the operations related to broadband infrastructures.
