# A long-term Vision for the EU's Rural Areas - Towards stronger, connected, resilient and prosperous rural areas by 2040

European Parliament procedure 2021/2254(INI) (INI - Own-initiative procedure, 9th term, committee AGRI / FEMM / REGI). Stage: Procedure completed. 765 committee amendments tabled by 85 Members between 2022-03-29 and 2022-06-01.

## What the amendments focus on

This own-initiative report sets out a long-term vision for the EU's rural areas to 2040. The amendments focus largely on women in rural areas — their role in the informal and rural economy, the gender employment gap, the share of farms managed by women, the predominance of SMEs, and barriers to healthcare and to support for victims of gender-based violence — alongside recitals on rural depopulation and family farming.
