(2) Council Regulation (EC) No 1698/2005 of 20 September 2005 on support for rural development by the European Agricultural Fund for Rural Development (EAFRD) (3) provides that, with a view to taking account of major changes in the Community priorities, the Community strategic guidelines may be subject to review.
