My Department has no involvement in the contract for the provision of services between the person named and his REPS planner. As no application for participation in REPS 4 was received by the closing date, the appeals process in relation to such applications does not apply in this case. REPS 4 is now closed. However, I plan to introduce a new agri-environment scheme in 2010, for which the person named may be in a position to apply. Work is under way within my Department on finalising the content of this new scheme, which will be subject to approval by the European Commission.
