Question:68 Mr. Callely asked the Minister for the Environment if he intends to alter the ten year environment action programme introduced in 1991; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [2396/95]
Written Answers. - Environment Action Programme.
The requirements of environmental policy have substantially expanded since the environment action programme was adopted in 1990 and will continue to develop over the coming years. I intend that the environmental principles adopted in the action programme will be taken forward and that their practical application will be further developed in the context of the national sustainable development strategy which I am now addressing. The financial requirements of the environment action programme have been met as regards the period to 1993 by the Community Support Framework 1989 to 1993 and will be met in future by the Community Support Framework 1994 to 1999.
