Andrew Mackinlay: To ask the Deputy Prime Minister (1) what information his Department has received about the EU's Interreg Equi
Save Atlantic Area Project; and if he will make a statement; [190925]
(2) what discussions he has had with agriculture Ministers in (a) Scotland, (b) Wales and (c) Northern Ireland on eligibility of
breeders of rare equine species for the EU's Interreg Equi Save Project; and if he will make a statement; [190927]
(3) what steps have been taken to consult breeders of rare equine species in the United Kingdom about the EU's Interreg Equi Save
Project; and if he will make a statement. [190929]
Keith Hill: The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister, which helps to co-ordinate UK interests in the European-funded Interreg
initiative, received a copy of an application for European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) support under the Interreg IIIB Atlantic
Area Programme from the French lead partner, Les Haras Nationaux (French public sector body charged with promoting and developing
equine interests at regional level).
The application indicated that there were no UK partners who would derive any financial support. There were two English associate
partners with minor engagement (Exmoor Pony Society and Exmoor Ponies in Conservation). It is normal practice for the Office of the
Deputy Prime Minister to liaise at official level with the Devolved Administrations over any such applications which have partners
in either Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland and, where appropriate, with Government Offices and other Government Departments. In
the case of the Equi Save project, there were no ERDF beneficiaries in any of the UK countries. The project has now been approved by
the programme.
The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister sought clarification on the eligibility of rare equine species from the programme
authorities who confirmed that they are eligible.
Breeders of rare horses in the United Kingdom were not consulted as there were no UK ERDF beneficiaries.
