Poznavatelji sela i poljoprivrede vjeruju kako tranzicijsko
razdoblje donosi pozitivne promjene u selo, pomažući njegovoj
lakšoj integraciji u globalno društvo. Jedan od instrumenata
integracije jest ...i pretpristupni program za poljoprivredu i ruralni
razvitak – SAPARD. U istraživanju se usredotočujemo na
obilježja susreta različitih organizacijskih kultura, s jedne strane
"zapadne" europske, a s druge strane domaće "istočne" u
procesu dočekivanja SAPARD-a. Istraživanje je provedeno na tri
razine: od institucionalne do proizvođačke. U anketnom dijelu
istraživanja sudjelovali su predstavnici državne i lokalne
administracije te predstavnici poljoprivrednika zainteresirani za
iskorištavanje sredstava SAPARD-a. Rezultati istraživanja
upućuju na to da će se u praksi, tijekom primjene SAPARD-a,
pojavljivati jednaki problemi kao i u drugim zemljama koje su
se njime koristile: u složenim administrativnim i organizacijskim
procedurama, kriterijima za dodjelu sredstava, manjku
raspoloživih nacionalnih sredstava. Dodatno će ovi problemi
kod nas biti opterećeni vrlo kratkim rokom za provedbu, stoga
se od SAPARD-a ne očekuje da bude program za razvoj
poljoprivrede i ruralnoga prostora, nego program za
uvježbavanje poslovne discipline i suradnje po uzoru na
europske standarde. Istraživanje je pokazalo kako je
zapadnjački utjecaj dobrodošao u preoblikovanju domaćih
standarda, a nove norme poslovnoga ponašanja s vremenom
će pridonijeti ostvarenju EU ciljeva približavanja i povezanosti.
Discussion of rural development (RD) in the EU started in 1968 and some two decades later Agenda2000 institutionalised RD policy. After a brief history of RD, Agenda 2000 and the SAPARD programmeare ...discussed. The main body of the paper deals with Rural Development measures of Central and EasternEuropean countries (CEECs) with special regard to 2007-2013. It is concluded there is no clear relationshipbetween farm structure and choosing rural development policy concept in CEECs for 2007-2013.

The EU Agenda 2000 program, made public in 1997, established the basis for future EU member countries to develop their rural areas and agriculture. This was the SAPARD program, which was aimed at ...assisting 10 countries ready to join the union. The monetary fund of the program amounted to 520 million EUROs/year for the period 2000-2006, which the countries involved could apply for. Our research is trying to find an answer to problems emerging in the process of rural and agricultural development, in conflicts between two alternative programs; furthermore, it also covers various processes in a smaller area. We are focusing on the advantages and disadvantages of certain areas, on opportunities offered by a program of this type. Successful competition can only be achieved, when it is based on a cooperation and agreement of the local participants. We are illustrating this process through the history of the competition of the Keszthely- Hévíz Sub-Regional Association.
A central aim of the Regional Policy of the European Union is a regional cohesion. Major instruments are regional policy programs financed via various European funds. The allocation of regional ...policy funds varies dramatically across regions even when one controls for regional development indicators. Thus, what political economy factors determine the access to financial support of regional policy funds? With this regard, the paper highlights the role of local government performance. Beyond, it is tested for spatial dependencies, e.g. if knowledge spillovers determine the ability to capture regional funds. Pars pro toto empirical analyses focus on the allocation of SAPARD funds in Slovakia using cross-section as well as panel data. The government performance is measured as a technical efficiency of local public good provision and derived within a non-parametric DEA approach. Results show that the government efficiency has a positive significant impact on the structural funding allocation. Furthermore, spatial dependencies occur. With respect to the program duration, it is concluded that knowledge spillovers take place, supporting a successfully program participation.
The paper considers the ideas of agricultural policy in investigated period as they are confronted with actual behaviour of the Czech farmers. The main assumption is possibility of increasing the ...competitiveness of the Czech agriculture. Because this issue is a new one, the qualitative approach to deal with these problems was exploited. Interviews with representatives of six farms were conducted. The results focus on information about the level of systematic knowledge of agricultural policy, about the specific reactions to particular areas of this policy (incl. farmers evaluation of particular measures related to Czech integration into EU) and about experiences related to the SAPARD program implementation.
It is thus widely recognized that the Earth has a limited capacity to meet the growing demand of the socio-economic systems for natural resources and to absorb the destructive effects of their ...overuse. Climate change, soil erosion and desertification, the pollution of soil, water and air, the extinction or decline of a large number of aquatic and terrestrial species, the accelerated depletion of non-renewable natural resources have started to have measurable negative effects on the socio-economic development and on the quality of life of human populations in vast areas of the planet. The concept of sustainable development is built on the premise that human civilization is a sub-system of the Ecosphere and is dependent on its material and energy flows, on its stability and capacity for self-adjustment.

In the pre-accession period, in addition to the support to all agricultural holdings by EU funded programs, specific national measures were also applied, together with massive allocation of funds ...from the national budget in order to support the agricultural producers. The present paper is analyzing the results of SAPARD Program implementation (measure 3.1 Investments on agricultural holdings), as well as of the nationally funded programs. One third of the total funds were allocated for this measure. The present paper is analyzing the eligible projects, as compared to those under the nationally funded investment programs, their distribution by counties and development regions, investment types and volumes, and legalstatus of the applicant farms, as well as the impact of investments upon the establishment of new farms. At the same time, the private consultancy and design firms, as well as the agricultural consultancy offices at county level had an important contribution in supportingthe farmers to carry out over 3600 eligible projects.

Agriculture remained a key sector of Romania in the framework of the
pre accession period to the European Union. Thus, around of 41% of the employed
population worked in the primary sector which ...represent approximately 14% of the
Romanian GDP. The Copenhagen Summit Decisions, the Annual Report of EC of
October 1999 on the Romanian’s Progress towards Accession as well as the general
provisions of the EU Agenda 2000 Framework and the bilateral phase of the acquis
screening reached the same conclusions as those of the National Strategy for the
economical development of Romania presented to the European Union in March this
year, meaning the need for Romania to create a functional market oriented economy,
consistent with the principles, norms, mechanisms, institutions, and policies of
European Union. The convergence foreseen in this respect is based on an evaluation
of resources and opportunities of domestic and international context, and respond as
laid down by the updated National Programme for the Adoption of the Acquis to the
double requirement of finalisation of a market oriented economy and of preparation
for the accession to the European Union, for using the historical chance offered by
the decision of the European Council in Helsinki of December 1999 to open the
negotiation of accession for Romania. In this given context, we will present in this
paper the priority of harmonisation of the legislation concerning the SAPARD
Programme measures, between 1999 and 2004.
U ovom radu autorica kroz niz polustrukturiranih intervjua analizira predodžbe o Europskoj uniji kod skupine elitnih poljoprivrednih poduzetnika, koji su se prijavili na pretpristupne fondove EU-a ...poput SAPARD-a. Glavnina rada posvećena je, u intervjuima prevladavajućem, doživljaju da je hiperregulirani i birokratizirani sustav EU-a mogući saveznik u borbi s domaćim – tromim, a ponekad i korumpiranim – sustavom poslovanja. Na temelju takve predodžbe o Europskoj uniji, autorica propituje i kritičke pristupe koji proširenje Unije promatraju prvenstveno kroz imperijalne aspekte njezinih politika, zanemarujući pritom emancipatorski potencijal koji prilagodba pravilima i mjerilima Unije može imati u lokalnim društvenim kontekstima. Jedan od zaključaka rada jest i to da su, iz poduzetničke perspektive, kulturne opreke svojstvene poimanju lokalne simboličke geografije bile manje važne od ekonomskih opreka pa je u intervjuima, primjerice, suprotstavljanje socijalizma i kapitalizma bilo interpretativno plodonosnije od suprotstavljanja Srednje Europe i Balkana ili europskog Istoka i Zapada.
