On 17 November 2025, ELARD launched a targeted letter campaign addressed to Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) and members of the European Committee of the Regions (CoR), asking them to use their voice to share our legislative amendments for the post 2027 regulations.
This follows on from a call issued, in September 2025, to the European Commission, Parliament and Council to amend the draft MFF regulations to ensure that LEADER-CLLD remains a robust instrument for rural development. Since then, ELARD worked together with a specialised EU lawyer on concrete amendments of the relevant proposed regulations.
The architecture of the next MFF introduces significant changes in how EU funding is delivered, notably the shift to National and Regional Partnership Plans (NRPPs) and the consolidation of numerous funds and programmes. While this offers opportunities, the way regulations are written now poses the risk of the dilution of LEADER-CLLD among other EU priorities. The ELARD proposal aims to correct all of this.
