European Commission regulatory framework
LEADER is governed by EU framework regulations. The Common Provisions Regulation (EU) 2021/1060 is a single rulebook that lays down the financial and common provisions applicable that governs eight EU funds. Articles 31 – 34 of the Common Provisions Regulation (CPR) 2021/1060 provide the regulatory framework for the administration of the LEADER programme in so far as the sub-regional areas, LAGs and LDSs are concerned.
The CAP Strategic Plan (CSP) Regulation 2021/2115, the Financial, Management and Monitoring of the CAP Regulation 2021/2116 and the evaluation of the CAP Strategic Plans and the provision of information for monitoring and evaluation Regulation 2022/1475 are the key governing regulations for the programme setting out provisions relating to activities to be funded, coordination and governance as well as monitoring, reporting and evaluation requirements.
