Rural Development Policy in Figures

Output indicators

As described in the CMEF, output indicators are designed to measure the activities directly realised within the programme’s measures. These activities are the first step towards realising the operational objectives of the intervention and are measured in physical or monetary units. On the basis of the data communicated for the programming years 2007 to 2012, an aggregation at the EU27 level has been undertaken in order to show the state of realisation of the Rural Development Programmes. The following tables – and accompanying charts – provide a picture at the European level, with a breakdown per Member State. For a comprehensive overview of the output indicators at EU27 level please refer to the summary table available in the specific section. (click here) For a complete list of the Output indicators and related fiches, please see Annex 3.H of the CMEF.
