The Rural Development Programme for 2007-2013 being prepared jointly with the Department of Agriculture and Food will require a strategic environmental assessment (SEA). That programme has yet to be finalised. The SEA will be carried out in conjunction with an independent ex-ante evaluation of the programme that is expected to commence in July.
