Regional Development Plan

Regional Development Plans (RDP) are the initial documents of multi-annual programming, drafted by the Member States to diagnose the structural problems of the regions, the strategy and priorities for action and an indication of the financial resources - domestic and Community - required to deal with the specific problems of each region. The European Commission requires the presentation and analysis of these RDP's to adapt the support and Community priorities to the needs and priorities expressed by the Member States in these documents. In Spain's case, the Regional Development Plan for Spain 2000-2006, for Objective nº 1 regions, was drafted by the extinct Directorate General of European Funds and Territorial Financing (now the Directorate General of European Funds), with the help of the Autonomous Communities in question.
