N_PER_ZSUP_019 The “Rural Excellence Poles” (PER) policy aims to address, on the one hand, a series of national challenges and priority ambitions for the State and, on the other hand, to recognise the specific role and services that rural areas are capable of delivering today. —The procedure A first call for projects “Pôles d’excellence rural” (PER) was launched by the Ministry responsible for spatial planning and by the Ministry responsible for agriculture and fisheries in December 2005 with the objective of supporting 300 local initiatives bringing innovative, ambitious, job-creating projects built around public-private partnerships. Faced with the dynamism of local actors, 379 projects were finally labeled in one year. In response to the success of the first call for projects, the Ministries of Agriculture and Rural Area launched a second call for projects on 9 November 2009: 263 projects were selected. In the end, 642 PERs were labelled by the State. An RIP must be linked to one of the following four themes: — promotion of natural, cultural and tourist resources; — valuation and management of bio-resources; — provision of services and reception of new populations; — technological excellence for industrial, craft and local service production. The implementation of the RIPs is monitored by a permanent secretariat, consisting of representatives of the Interministerial Delegation for Regional Planning and Attractiveness (DATAR) and the Directorate-General for Agricultural, Agri-Food and Territorial Policies of the Ministry of Agriculture, Agri-Food and Forestry.
