The European Commission in accordance with Article 2(1)(c) of the Council Regulation approved this part of the programme in Commission Decision No: [C] (94) 2951 of 9th December 1994, a copy of which is available from the Department of Agriculture, Room 657, Dundonald House, Upper Newtownards Road, Belfast BT4 3SB.
