One of Her Majesty's Principal Secretaries of State
Northern Ireland Office
12th June 2007
I have the honour to refer also to recent discussions between our two Governments concerning the interpretation of the terms "Community Initiatives", "Initiatives" and "Cls" in Part 4 of Annex 1 and Part 4 of Annex 2 to the Implementation Bodies Agreement.
It is the understanding of my Government that it was the joint intention of our two Governments that the aforementioned terms would include any successors to, equivalents of or substitutes for such Initiatives within or building on the substantive objectives, priorities, policy areas and activities covered by the Community Initiatives established within the framework of the European Community's Structural Funds and should be construed accordingly.
If this is also the understanding of your Government, I have the honour to propose that this letter and your reply in the affirmative shall constitute an Agreement between our two Governments concerning the interpretation of these terms which shall enter into force on the date of your reply.

I have the honour to confirm that it is the understanding of my Government that it was the joint intention of our two Governments for the terms as specified in your letter to include any successors to, equivalents of or substitutes for such Initiatives within or building on the substantive objectives, priorities, policy areas and activities covered by the Community Initiatives established within the framework of the European Community's Structural Funds and should be construed accordingly.
