EU rural schemes are prone to confusion

THANK you for giving me the opportunity to alert people to the changes in the Leader programme (Letters, October 23).

However, Jack Roche (Letters, October 27) claims my information was inaccurate.

As it came from the section of European Commission that provides the funding — people who head Leader schemes on the existing (old) programme — and the official Leader programme website, it is hard to see how this is possible.
