My Department's Vote for 2007 included an allocation of â¬361 million for REPS. Some â¬262 million of expenditure has been incurred to date. Spending for the remainder of the year will be determined by the number of farmers who send in their annual payment applications. In 2006, REPS payments came to â¬33 million in November and â¬61 million in December.
