Question: Por eso, consideramos fundamental mejorar el informe con las propuestas que hemos hecho para incluir expresamente la actividad agrícola y a los agricultores en la estrategia de desarrollo rural, solicitar más asignaciones para no poner en entredicho la continuación del programa en las regiones rurales abarcadas anteriormente y sostener que el nuevo programa debe seguir dando preferencia a las regiones más desfavorecidas.

Answer: This is why we considered it essential to improve the report by means of our proposals deliberately to include agricultural activity and farmers in the strategy for rural development and to request more appropriations in order not to threaten the survival of the programme in those rural regions which were covered before. We also want to ensure that the new programme continues to prioritise the less-favoured regions.
