Written Answers. - EU Presidency.

Noel Davern

Question:

349 Mr. Davern asked the Minister for Education the total cost to her Department of the Presidency of the EU; and if she will give details of such costs. [1239/97]

The cost to my Department of the Presidency is £365,105, to date. However, refunds, totalling approximately £100,000 in respect of certain events organised by my Department during the Presidency, are expected from the EU Commission in 1997. The cost relates to the organisation of Presidency conferences, meetings and seminars, certain travel and subsistence costs and additional expenditure related to the employment of an education attaché at the Permanent Representation in Brussels during 1996.
