Annual Budgets 2006-2010

The Special EU Programmes Body is also responsible for the management of a significant amount of Programme funds under the current (2007-2013) and previous (2000-2006) funding periods. The budgets as outlined within the respective Business Plans are outlined in Table 2 below. Annual budgets associated with these Programme funds are based on the value of the Euro funds required for the Central Payments Unit to make payment requests to projects to cover European N+2 expenditure targets as set down within the Operational Programmes. These figures also take into account any advance payments required by projects.

Please note that the figures outlined within Table 2 reflect European Regional Development Fund and match contributions for Ireland and Northern Ireland. Funding for Tripartite projects under the INTERREG IVA Programme would also contain an element of Scottish Match funding.
