REPS 4 is a measure under the current Rural Development Programme 2007–2013 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 that of the person named, is at an advanced stage.

I hope to be in a position to release the 75% payment due on valid applications in mid-December and the remaining 25% once the last of the on-the-spot inspections for 2009 has taken place.
