CHAPTER 6: FINANCE

This chapter sets out a summary of the financing requirements for the Scotland Rural Development Programme 2007-13. It comprises the tables required by Annex 2 of the Regulation 1974/2006, together with Table 6.3 below showing the on-going expenditure from the 2000-06 budget for existing contracts.

The total programme expenditure of €2.13 bn is to be funded by a combination of Scottish Executive resources, EAFRD and voluntary modulation for the period 2007-13. The exchange rate used for planning purposes was £1 = €1.46.

While all values in this Programme are given in Euros, all rural development payments to land managers and others will be made in Sterling. Furthermore, the appropriate rates of payment have been established and verified in Sterling. Thus, as and when the Euro/Sterling exchange rate varies, the payment rates in Sterling may differ from the payment rates shown in Euros in this Programme document.
