Abstract

Rural development within the European Union has been a continuous evolution of rural space through which it has responded to the needs and challenges of the European Community. Thus, the European Union has created and implemented the Common Agricultural Policy, and rural development is its second pillar. In the case of Romania, agriculture and rural development is a priority sector in terms of economic and social growth, due to the large area occupied by rural areas, but also due to the large area of agricultural land that is found on the territory of Romania. This article is intended to be an objective analysis of the impact that European funds have had on the development of the Romanian rural area regarding the allocation of these funds. At the same time, the degree of absorption of the National Rural Development Program (NRDP) was analysed.

Highlights

The territory of Romania illustrates the harmony of the geographical structure and the agrarian potential - starting with the relief forms; hydrographic network, soil, vegetation, land use, land improvement arrangements and concluding with roads, network of localities and economic activities, which reflects its natural-economic values integrated in a continuous process of development, capitalization, restructuring, arrangement and harmonious organization [6].Romania represents 6% of the total area of the European Union and 4% of its population
Romania's agriculture is inhomogeneous in terms of exploitation structures, and their dual character is accentuated compared to the vast majority of European Union member states
Romania's accession to the European Union had an important impact on the entire national economic activity and, in particular, on agriculture

Summary

Introduction

The territory of Romania illustrates the harmony of the geographical structure and the agrarian potential - starting with the relief forms; hydrographic network, soil, vegetation, land use, land improvement arrangements and concluding with roads, network of localities and economic activities, which reflects its natural-economic values integrated in a continuous process of development, capitalization, restructuring, arrangement and harmonious organization [6]. In Romania, the share of farms between 0-2 ha is 70.2% of the total number of farms, the size of the phenomenon of excessive fragmentation of Romanian agricultural holdings, with negative effects on their economic and development performance All these extremely modest farms in terms of physical and economic size, produce mainly for their own needs, do not invest and do not generate consumption on the market [11]. The EAFRD shall finance Member States through rural development programs aimed at achieving the Union's rural development priorities [9, 10]
