Decision
The Committee –
1.
Agreed that the Executive Director, Development and
Infrastructure, in consultation with the Policy Lead for Economic Development,
submits a response to the Scottish Government consultation by the deadline of
15 January 2016.
2.
Approved the draft response provided in the report.
3.
Approved,
outwith the consultation requirements, that consideration is given to the
inclusion of the Helensburgh and Lomond part of Argyll and Bute into the
current Highlands and Islands European funding area to create one single Argyll
and Bute region going forward with regard to European funding issues post 2020
which would require further analysis by officers on the potential impact on
funding from such a change. A separate
paper would be brought to a future meeting.
