HC Deb 22 July 1999 vol 335 c666W
Mr. Alan Williams

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what information has to be supplied to the EU Commission before 1 November relating to the West Wales Objective One status application; and if he will make a statement. [92377]

Mr. Michael

By 1 November, the National Assembly will need to submit a full single programming document for objective 1 to the European Commission. This will need to meet the Commission's requirements as laid out in the Vade Mecum.

Objective 1 status has already been secured. Release of the funds depends on the acceptance by the Commission of the submitted plan.
