Paragraph 5
Paragraph 5
5. Points out that the current rules for the allocation of second-pillar funding were agreed on the basis of the cohesion criterion, i.e. the agricultural and rural development disparities existing between individual Member States and regions; believes, in view of the fact that those disparities still exist, that the current criteria and funding arrangements for rural development should be retained, in particular in the context of expanding the second pillar to take account of the Europe 2020 strategy objectives; points out that this will require appropriate coordination and distribution of tasks between the CAP and cohesion policy, with coordination being especially relevant in implementing the principle of territorial cohesion.
