  2. 1. Introduction The European Commission has decided to actively participate in the development of the eastern part of the Netherlands by co-financing the Objective 2 Programme for the period 2000-2006. The Structural Fund will contribute 141,560 million Euros toward the total budget of 391,437 million Euros. DG REGIO/Unit D3/PL

  3. 1.2 The map of the eligible area DG REGIO/Unit D3/PL

  4. 1.3 Description of the eligible area The programme covers rural areas in the provinces of Gelderland, Overijssel and Utrecht. The industrial areas of Twente and the region of Arnhem-Nijmegen will also benefit from the programmes, but to a lesser extent. Some 1.190.000 persons reside in these areas. The eastern portion of the Netherlands is highly diverse: medium-sized cities, rural areas, and natural parks. In the rural areas, the economic structure has undergone major transformations that have led to a decrease in the standard of living. DG REGIO/Unit D3/PL

  5. 1.3 Description of the eligible area At the national level, agriculture accounts for 1,5% of economic activity. In this geographical area, the percentage ranges from 0,9% to 1,9%. Small farming operations are disappearing. From 1995 to 1999, the number of farms fell by approximately 14%, which is more than in other parts of the Netherlands. The number of farmers over the age of 55 is also higher than the national average. Agricultural employment should fall by 10 to 25% in the next ten years; however, agriculture continues to play an essential role in the economic structure of rural areas. DG REGIO/Unit D3/PL
