Joint Oireachtas Committee on Finance, Public Expenditure and Reform, and Taoiseach
Scrutiny of EU Proposals
Ms Lenka Filipkova:
Originally, and I think it was also mentioned in one of the opening statements, there was a proposal for the joint procurement instrument, for EDIRPA, of about €800 million, financed from the existing availabilities, margins of heading five and the special instruments that existed in the multi-annual financial framework. Later on, there was a request from the European Council to act and help the industry to ramp up production capacity and part of this €800 million was transferred into this ASAP proposal. The remaining €300 million remained to be implemented by the joint procurement.
