Table 1 below provides a breakdown of the expenditure by project and administration costs under the 2007-2013 LEADER programme for each of the years 2007-2012. It is not practicable to provide details as of 31stAugust 2012, but the figures on the table reflect the position as of 31stDecember each year.
Table 2 below provides the number and value of project approvals under the 2007-2013 LEADER programme for each of the years 2007-2013, as of 31stDecember each year. All projects had to be approved before 31st December 2013. However, payments to projects could continue for a further two years, as the projects were completed.
It should be noted that no projects were approved, or expenditure incurred, in the first two years of the LEADER 2007-2013 programming period.LEADER is an EU-wide programme and, as can often be the case with such programmes, activity increases progressively over the course of the programme period.
