§ Mr. HunterTo ask the Secretary of State for the Environment what European Community funds have so far been directed to the establishment of the CORINE programme; and what is the predicted annual funding of the programme in 1990–91 and 1991–92.
§ Mr. TrippierUp to 1989, 4 million ecu (£2.8 million) have been directed to the CORINE programme. For 1989, expenditure is estimated at 3 million ecu (£2.1 million) and for 1990 expenditure earmarked at 4.5 million ecu (£3.1 million). After 1990, it is envisaged that CORINE-related work will pass to the proposed European Environment Agency.
