The LEADER regions are not only networked with each other here in Luxembourg, they also maintain contacts on various European rural development platforms. This week, Anette Peiter from LEADER Mëllerdall and Françoise Bonert from the Ministry of Agriculture represented our country at two major meetings in Brussels:

• at the General Assembly of the European LEADER Association ELARD

ELARD is committed to strengthening the LEADER approach throughout Europe and networking the local action groups with each other.

• at the General Assembly of the European Common Agricultural Policy Network, the EU CAP Network

The network connects all agricultural policy stakeholders in Europe. It supports the implementation of the Common Agricultural Policy and promotes the exchange of knowledge and innovation.
