Vol. 318 No. 9

Written Answers. - Land Drainage Scheme.

331.

asked the Minister for Agriculture if there is a scheme of EEC aid for land drainage in border regions of the Community and if so, when the scheme was adopted by the Council of Ministers.

There is no specific EEC measure in relation to field drainage in border regions. However, Directive 79/197/EEC provides for Community assistance for an arterial programme in respect of certain cross-border rivers.

Most of the land in these catchment areas on the southern side will be eligible for 70 per cent grant aid under the western drainage scheme.
