I see there are no more applicants to be paid under the rural environment protection scheme, REPS, the agri-environment options scheme, AEOS, organic and the green low-carbon agri-environment scheme, GLAS. I realise there has been supplementary funding for GLAS for the hen harrier designated land, but I understood there would be a specific compensation scheme for land that is designated a special area of conservation, SAC. There does not appear to be any funding for a specific scheme for those areas.
