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 to be completed before the first payments issue. Payments to REPS 4 participants, amounting to just under €100 million, issued in 2009 to those whose applications required no further examination following the administrative checks. However, queries arose on a significant number of applications in the course of the administrative checks and these are under examination as a matter of priority. Further payments will continue to be made as applications are cleared. The information requested is set out in the table:
