The main attempt of this article was to present how the Polish integration wit EU may affect Polish agriculture during the first few years after accession. The subjects of the analysis were measurable factors, e.g., the results of negotiation, and the factors which were not negotiated but will appear as a result of the EU enlargment. The level of quotas and para-quotas, changes in the input and output prices, reduction of domestic support, chosen instruments of the first and second pillars of the CAP and structural funds were assessed. Agriculture's position was analysed from the perspective of agriculture as a sector as well as from the individual enterprises' point of view. The analyses allow stating that integrated operation of the assessed factors should cause an income increase of the sector and majority of the farms. A high increase of relative income is estimated. However the increase in absolute numbers will not be large enough to allow radically change the common economic and social situation of the Polish rural population. Nevertheless, good usage of negotiated support instruments depending on institutional preparation may create favourable conditions for a fundamental improvement of socio-economical situation of the Polish agriculture and rural areas.

This article analyses the interaction between movement towards a knowledge-based society and rural development in Latvia, as well as the conformity of a knowledge-based economy to the national structural policy for rural development. It is ascertained that Latvia's movement towards a knowledge-based society, which is identified in major national strategic documents as a goal, has not been realised in rural development policy; therefore, in rural areas the development of a knowledge-based society is only slightly observable. The concept of a knowledge-based economy in national structural policy, which defines rural development, is not laid out in detail, and the identified relevant measures are general and fragmentary. The authors of this article forecast that there will be no changes in the development of agriculture in the near future. In 2008, before the economic crisis, development could be observed in some spheres, while other spheres were liquidated. Experts forecast that with the increasing efficiency of production, the number of people employed in agriculture will decrease. Opportunities to work in other spheres should be provided in order to preserve the number of rural inhabitants. Therefore, there is a need for effective restructuring of the rural economy. It is concluded that the restructuring policy for rural areas in Latvia is vague and that the effect of a knowledge-based society in rural areas has not been assessed. Restructuring is slow and dependent on the receptivity of rural inhabitants to new ideas and proposals. Nevertheless, examples of successful development of new spheres can be observed in rural areas.

RDP 2007-2013 is a successive programme designed to support the development of Polish agriculture and rural regions from Polish and EU public funds. EU funds will reach the level of EUR 13.2 billion and Polish public funds - the level of approximately EUR 4.0 billion. The level of private funds, to be contributed from own resources of entities covered by RDP, is put at over 7.8 billion euro. Thus, the total amount of means engaged in the implementation of RDP will exceed EUR 25 billion. RDP does not meet the requirement of concentration of means on measures intended to increase the competitiveness and productivity of the rural regions' economy. RDP supports rather evenly the development of rural regions, environmental protection and farmers' incomes. Public funds are allocated in the following way - the development of food economy - EUR 5.0 billion (29.0% of all means), the development of other sectors - EUR 2.8 billion (16.5%), environmental protection - EUR 3.1 billion (18.0%), incomes and social purposes - EUR 4.6 billion (26.9%), other purposes - EUR 1.6 billion. RDP's weak point is the large amount of assistance means allocated to incomes and social purposes. This weakness calls for the introduction of corrections during the Programme's implementation.
