28.09.2023
27.-29. septembril 2023 korraldas Euroopa Liidu Nõukogu eesistujariik Hispaania ja Euroopa Komisjon koos maaelupakti tugibürooga maaelu poliitika foorumi “Maapiirkondade tuleviku kujundamine” Sigüenzas, Hispaanias. Eestist osalesid regionaal- ja põllumajandusministeeriumi asekantsler Madis Pärtel; Meeri Maastik (maaeluvõrgustik) ja Triin Kallas (ELL).
Üritus koondas peamisi maaelu poliitikaga seotud osapooli, et edendada maapiirkondade tuleviku poliitilist tegevuskava, valmistada ette viljakas arutelu EL Nõukogus ja toetada liikmesriike võtma vastu meetmeid maapiirkondade potentsiaali suurendamiseks, toetades EL maaelu arengu pikaajalise visiooni eesmärke.
Foorumile osales ligi 200 osalejat ja see oli suunatud eelkõige ELi ja riikliku tasandi poliitikakujundajatele ja riigiasutustele kõigist 27 liikmesriigist, kes on seotud ELi vahendite haldamisega, hõlmates eelkõige ELi ühist põllumajandus- ja ühtekuuluvuspoliitikat.
