Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform
Scrutiny of EU Legislative Proposals
12:35 pm
Ms Bríd Cannon:
The funding would form part of the negotiations on the MFF. In the context of the sectoral regulations which govern the Common Agricultural Policy, there are proposals to ensure that at least 10% of member states' rural development funding will have to be spent on Leader projects. It will depend on how much we obtain in rural development funding but at least 10% of what we do receive will have to be devoted to Leader-type projects.
