Mr. Tom Moran:

For Pillar 2 payments one must bring additionality beyond the requirements in Pillar 1. Pillar 1 requirements mean that one stocks, is an active farmer and observes good agricultural and environmental conditions, GAEC.

The green, low carbon agri-environment scheme, GLAS, or Pillar 2 payments must be a further step beyond in order to justify the additional payments that are there. One such condition must be that there is some element of collectivity or common planning to mind the commonage.
