Abstract
The paper presents the general characteristics of the Rural Development Programme (2014-2020) in the
light of the European Union regulations. The RDP is programmed base on six measures and a number of
sub-measures, which are developed to reflect modern trends in the development of rural areas. For Poland
there was specified budget of more than 13.5 billion euros, including the EAFRD measures at 8.6 billion
(63.7%) and 4.9 billion (36.3%) of the national co-financing. The spending trends of RDP means presented
to the European Commission were slightly adjusted, through the launch of additional activities associated
with investments in farms located in Natura 2000 areas and in less favoured areas (LFA). Start of financial
instruments will be delayed by protracted legislative process.
