REPS 3 has been a major success and participation has broken previous records. Spending on REPS has increased from €208 million in 2004 to more than €270 million by the end of this year, and provision has been made in the 2006 Estimates for a further increase to €323 million next year. The increased allocation for 2006 reflects the fact that I expect that there will be further significant growth in 2006.
