Vol. 475 No. 8

Written Answers. - National Trade Development Programme.

Liz O'Donnell

Question:

27 Ms O'Donnell asked the Minister for Tourism and Trade if he will undertake a public review of the performance of the National Trade Development Programme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [6025/97]

I assume what the Deputy has in mind is the trade development programme, as reflected in the market development sub-programme of the Operational Programme for Industrial Development, 1994-99.

This sub-programme is currently being reviewed as part of the mid-term review process of the entire Community support framework. The external evaluators for the industry OP have completed their report and their findings will be discussed shortly at a meeting of the industry monitoring committee, which comprises representatives of various external organisations, such as IBEC, together with representatives of the European Commission, Government Departments and the State agencies.
