On 1 May 1995 the person named joined REPS 1. As a result of compliance inspections carried out on his holding in June and October 1998, which revealed serious breaches of his REPS agreement, his REPS participation was terminated and full recoupment of all REPS monies received was sought. The person named was notified accordingly on 2 February 1999.

He was further advised in January 2000 that the amount owed would be recouped from other scheme payments due until the debt is recovered in full. My Department will write directly to him outlining the current position in relation to the outstanding debt.
