Report on a meeting between the European Commissioner for Regional Policy, Danuta Hübner, and Jim Wallace, Deputy First Minister in the Scottish Executive, to discuss the future of cohesion policy in Scotland, 18 May 2005. Scotland, a major beneficiary of European Union regional funds, was to continue to be so under the Commission's proposals for 2007 onwards. Among the issues discussed were the maintenance of substantial levels of EU funding in Scotland's least prosperous regions, the new eligibility of western regions for cross-border cooperation programmes with Ireland, and the scope for streamlined administration of EU-funded programmes while maintaining rigorous financial control. |
