| dc.description.abstract | 2 Introduction With this brochure Phare aims to provide the interested public with clear and concise summaries of the programmes to be implemented by the partner countries with Phare support. It also aims to point the business community in the direction of potential opportunities. The 1996-1999 Multi-annual Indicative Programme, described in the following pages, sets out the medium-term strategy for Phare support in Latvia. The 1996 Country Operational Programme, also summarised in this brochure, is the logical consequence of the priorities expressed by Latvia in the Multi-annual Indicative Programme. It has been received favourably by Phares Management Committee and has been approved by the Commission. Phare programme and contract information brochures are published after each Management Commit-tee meeting. This copy contains summaries of the Multi-annual Indica-tive Programme and the Country Operational Programme approved by the Committee at its 43rd meeting held on 23 February 1996 for the benefit of Latvia. Please bear in mind, however, that the publication of the business-related information in these pages does not commit the partner country or the Commission either to adhere to a fixed timetable for implementation or to follow exactly the outlines traced below. Individuals or companies wishing to obtain more detail on the contrac-tual implications of these programmes should contact the relevant Programme Management Unit that is responsible for the implementation of the approved programme. Only individuals or companies registered and resident in Euro-pean Union Member States or Phare partner countries will be considered for implementing the tasks set out. |
