Written answers

The attached table sets out the measures funded under the Rural Development Programme 2007 – 2013 [RDP]. The expenditure information is based on my Department’s quarterly returns to the European Commission and the table reflects the provisional estimates up to early November 2013. The table does not include funds already committed but not as yet claimed.

In relation to the draw down of funds, the latest date for claims to be made under the current RDP is January, 2016. The financial performance of the RDP is under constant review and adjustments, as necessary, to the financial plan of the RDP will be made in order to achieve the fullest possible draw down of available funds.
