The person named applied for REPS in June 2009, after the annual closing date for applications laid down in EU Regulations, so if his application is successful his REPS contract will have a starting date in 2010. In accordance with EU Regulations, the first phase of his payment (75%) will therefore fall due in autumn 2010 when all administrative checks for REPS 4 participants have been completed. The balance can be paid when all on-farm inspections for 2010 are finished.
