EESO poziva oblikovalce politik, naj izvedejo celovito in celostno strategijo za spodbujanje uravnoteženega, skladnega, pravičnega in trajnostnega razvoja podeželja in mest. Ta mora med drugim izkoristiti vlogo lokalnih skupnosti, spodbujati tradicionalne sektorje ter ustvarjati nove gospodarske dejavnosti in priložnosti za delo na podeželskih območjih ob hkratni krepitvi sinergije z mestnimi območji.
EESO v svojem mnenju Za celostno strategijo za trajnostni razvoj podeželja in mest podaja mnogo priporočil, temelječih na sodelovanju številnih deležnikov in pristopu od spodaj navzgor, ki sta ključna elementa za zagotavljanje trajnostnosti in lokalne odgovornosti za podeželske politike.
Horizontalno usklajevanje in prilagojene politike so ključnega pomena
„Pri ukrepanju in financiranju na področjih različnih politik, ki imajo vpliv na podeželska območja, je bistveno preiti na povezan pristop. Zagotoviti je treba, da podeželska območja ne bodo le trajnosten, ampak tudi privlačen kraj za življenje. Kakovost življenja na podeželju bo mogoče izmeriti na podlagi povečanja števila mladih in novih pobud, ki prinašajo kakovostna in dobro plačana delovna mesta,“ je poudaril poročevalec Josep Puxeu Rocamora.
