ENEconomic and social situation is worse in the country than in urban areas. The increase of old people and the decrease of children is observed in rural areas, the average (in hand) income for one member of a family is lower, high unemployment - roughly 25%, the level of education is lower in comparison with average level of cities’ inhabitants. There are evident discrepancies between Lithuanian country and EU rural areas with clear preference of the latter. Therefore the reforms of our country are unavoidable in order to be competitive in the same market. After joining EU Lithuanian agriculture will be the sector attracting the main financial resources from EU common budget. The proportion of these flows will depend on our readiness to master the funds - having enough proper and qualified projects for their utilization, sufficient production level and employment in the country. The implementation of country development policy and reforming of rural areas after Lithuania’s joining the EU is quite a long process and only part of the problems will be solved in the period of 2002-2006, a new EU programme period 2007-2013 will commence and it will have its own requirements.
