International Fund for Ireland: EU financial contributions 2007-2010

The Committee on Regional Development adopted the report by Seán KELLY (EPP, IE) on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council concerning European Union financial contributions to the International Fund for Ireland (2007-2010).

The committee recommended that the European Parliament’s position at first reading of the ordinary legislative procedure (formerly know as the codecision procedure) should be to amend the Commission’s proposal with one technical amendment. To recall, the Fund aims to finance projects to promote understanding between the different communities in Northern Ireland until 2013.
