   ▸ AIAI: What changed Written by AI from the official text — check the source

   The report expands significantly, adding many new recitals and paragraphs on rural challenges, including demographics, climate, and funding disparities. New operational paragraphs call for measures on poverty, renewable energy, housing, rural proofing, and support for women and youth. The text now emphasizes synergies with CAP, cohesion policy funding levels, and the role of local actors, while removing earlier calls for a rural strategy. The versions differ only in formal points: updated citations and cross-references.
