§ Mr. FatchettTo ask the President of the Board of Trade if he will list those organisations which his Department intends to consult in relation to the European Commission proposal to introduce RECHAR II from 1 January 1994.
§ Mr. Sainsbury[holding answer 13 July 1993]: RECHAR I has been one of fourteen "Community Initiatives" under the European structural funds. The Commission has issued a Green Paper on Community initiatives after 1993, but has so far made no formal proposals. The future of Community initiatives, including any RECHAR II, will be considered by the Council later this year.
