30. A further issue here relates to EU structural funding. That Milford Haven, Pembroke Dock, Swansea, Port Talbot and Holyhead in north Wales lie within the Objective 1 EU Structural Funds Programme area, suggests important development opportunities possibly foregone, since elements of Priority 6 of the programme are concerned specifically with port development. There are no examples of successful leverage of money into ports development under the programme, now at the end of its life
