The European Commission has approved European regional development fund (ERDF) awards under the RENAVAL community programme of some 21 million European currency units (MECU) (approximately £15 million) and 3.4 MECU (approximately £2.4 million) for Strathclyde and Fife respectively. The distribution of these monies is the responsibility of programme monitoring committees (PMC). To date, the Strathclyde PMC has approved ERDF grants to the value of some £1.5 million whilst the Fife PMC has approved ERDF grants totalling some £0.9 million.
