I expect that the remaining 25% payment will issue within weeks to those farmers who have already received their first payment of 75% in respect of REPS 4 applications lodged in 2007 and 2008.

My officials have rejected 237 of the applications for REPS 4 received in the period concerned. The applicants concerned have the right to appeal to the Agriculture Appeals Office and I understand that a number of them have already done so.
