The table below sets out the measures funded under the Rural Development Programme 2007 – 2013 [RDP], including EAFRD funding and the corresponding national funding. The expenditure information is based on my Department’s quarterly returns to the European Commission and the table reflects the provisional estimates up to November 2013. The table does not include funds already committed but not as yet claimed.
