Specifically, we address the question of whether, during the period 1995-2004 the NUTS-2 regions of EU-25 exhibited tendencies to converge in respect of their labour productivity in agriculture. It is established that the regions of European Union follow two different patterns in their convergence behavior. (C) 2013 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd." }
