Decision details

The Committee considered a report which provides details of a proposal that recommends that Argyll and Bute Council, through the European Team, takes on the role of the Accountable Body for the 2014-2020 Argyll and the Islands LEADER programme as proposed by the Local Action Group.

The Committee noted that it would beneficial for a members seminar or a work shop prior to  a future Environment, Development and Infrastructure Committee to be scheduled once the new LEADER programme had been established to allow members to gain a better understanding of the programme and the work that they carryout.

Decision

The Committee agreed that Argyll and Bute Council should be the Accountable Body for the 2014-2020 LEADER programme.
