Recital 6 a (new)
(6a) A number of economic activities within the Union have focused on sustainable development based on a greener economy on the one hand and inclusive growth on the other. These areas are of key importance in the sustainable development of rural and outlying areas, contributing to the economic and social revitalisation of rural areas. Given their close attachment to social, health, environmental, nutritional, cultural and gender equality issues, their specific activities are fully in line with ‘Strategy 2020’ ambitions and Commission objectives. In this connection, Member States should therefore seize the opportunities offered by Article 98 (1) and (2) of this Directive, provided that they respect its principles, taking particular account of the budgetary implications for their public finances and for the Union.
