Required Resources. The figures referred to in the following table are in no way binding upon government. The figures and their range serve to indicate which amounts should be considered, over and above existing funding, including WOT, in drawing up further project plans for the subjects referred to in the table below (as they tie in with the triangle Energy-Nature-Food). The various parties have expressed their confidence in a favourable outcome. The amount that has so far been made available (€ 55 million), although representing an important step forwards, does make it necessary to prioritise the monitoring and research tasks. This process of priority setting is not discussed in the table below. Within the funding currently available, discussions will have to be undertaken about how the funds should be spent within the North Sea Consultation, with a view to reaching consensus.
