lpv:translated text	"Each region has its own natural features, so every country needs to make its own strategic plan for rural development. However, the Community’s strategic guidelines should provide some general support and guidance for individual countries in this respect. The countryside is one of the key factors in preserving the cultural, ethnological and natural heritage through which our lives are enriched. Since we wish to preserve and develop the countryside in the future, we must ensure that the working and living conditions do not lag behind those of the urban centres. This demands greater investment in education, a reduction in the bureaucracy involved in new investments and the provision of an appropriate infrastructure. Preserving the cultural landscape is an extremely important task, so we cannot simply leave it to chance and to those increasingly rare individuals who, despite the low incomes, are prepared to involve themselves in this. Our forebears worked the land not simply for survival, but also out of love for it. Today that is no longer enough. Young people must see the prospect of advancement and a decent income, as well as adequate social security. There is still very poor provision of social security for women, and it is equally unacceptable that mothers employed on farms still do not have the same rights and benefits as women employed in other sectors. Farmers must possess a great deal of knowledge to carry out their trade and to perform additional rural activities. In spite of this, the kind of work is the least valued in society. If we want young people to see some prospect and opportunity for themselves in the countryside once more, we must increase respect for agricultural work and respect for the countryside as a whole."@en1
