As the Deputy may be aware, I have overall responsibility for EU Cohesion and Structural Funds Policy. While there is no formal Council formation for Cohesion Policy, I attended the Informal Meeting of Ministers with responsibility for Cohesion Policy in Poznan, Poland on the 25th November 2011 and the General Affairs Council meeting on 16th December 2011 which dealt exclusively with Cohesion Policy. I set out below the details requested below.
