Connectivity is essential for ‘The Long-Term Vision For Rural Areas’


 The ‘Long-Term Vision for Rural Areas’ is a European Commission Communication, describing the current state of play of rural areas in Europe, analysing it and foreseeing the future steps in 20 years’ time. In this video, Mr Mario Milouchev, DG AGRI Director of Rural Development, analyses the significance of this latest Communication and mentions that “connectivity is the condition ‘sine qua non’ for the development of quality of life for the rural areas”.

In the same document it also mentions that broadband should become a basic service, as water and electricity are, in order to develop stronger, connected, resilient and prosperous rural areas.
