Under the new structural funds arrangements from 1989 emphasis was placed on programmes rather than individual projects and some of these so combine the industrial and infrastructural elements that they cannot be validly separated. The table therefore shows an extra column in respect of this class of ERDF receipt. 2 Includes estimated receipts to date for 1996–97 financial year. 3 European regional funds receipts to community initiative programmes benefiting Northern Ireland are included in answer number 14 of 13 January 1997.
