Total voted expenditure by my Department for the period 2000-2006 amounted to €17.3 billion. The total EU funding allocated and eligible to be drawn down by the Exchequer from the EU on foot of expenditure which was to be undertaken by my Department under the NDP 2000-2006 amounted to €681 million, or approximately 3.9% of total voted expenditure by the Department in that period. The EU funding was allocated on the basis of a total projected gross co-funded expenditure over the entire period 2000-2006, rather than on an annual basis.
