The REPS 4 application for the person named was received on 5th September 2008 with a start date of 1 January 2009. Under EU Regulations, payment on any individual REPS 4 application for 2009 cannot be made until completion of administrative and area checks on all applications received up to the closing date of 15 May 2009. At that stage 75% of the payment to each participant can be released, with the balance being paid when the last of the on-farm inspections for the year has taken place.
