Under the Installation Aid Scheme applicable to farmers set-up in farming for the first time on or before 31 December 2006, applicants must be set-up on lands on the basis of a lease for at least five years running from the date of set-up. The required term of the lease was extended to seven years under the Young Farmers' Installation Scheme which applies to farmers set-up in farming for the first time on or after 1 January 2007. In order to be eligible for a grant, applicants must, of course, also fulfil the other requirements of the Schemes concerned.
