I can confirm that the notification process to obtain the necessary state aid clearance to provide grant aid in excess of €200,000 under the Basic Services and Village Renewal measures of the Rural Development Programme 2007 – 2013 is underway and is at an advanced stage. A final response is expected from DG Competition in the coming weeks.
