REPS 4 is a measure under the current Rural Development Programme 2007–13 and is subject to EU Regulations which require detailed administrative checks on all applications, including plan checks, to be completed before the first 2009 payments issue.

Processing of applications,including the application from the person named, has commenced to facilitate the release of payments at the earliest possible date.

Applications to join REPS 4, which must comprise an application form and a full agri-environmental plan, were accepted up to close of business on 9 July 2009. The person named lodged a one page document, which did not represent a valid agri-environmental plan, with his application by the closing date and the application is, therefore, ineligible under the terms of the scheme.
