1.3.3 Objective 2 regions<br />
Around 21% of Objective 2 funding went to rural areas in EU15 countries (around EUR 4.6 billion<br />
overall). Of this, some EUR 1.3 billion, or just under 6% of the total, went to rural areas remote<br />
from a city (Table 1.12). This, however, is well over twice the proportion of the population living<br />
in these areas (2.5%) if the population living in Objective 1 regions is excluded – i.e. if the<br />
comparison is confined to regions potentially eligible for support under Objective 2. The<br />
proportion of funding going to rural areas close to a city (15%) was also significantly larger than<br />
their share of population (9%).<br />
