Question 741: To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food when the payments for the participants of agri-environment options scheme 2010 will be awarded; and the timeframe for payment to participants of the AEOS scheme 2011. [22826/11]

Payment of 75% of the 2010 entitlement under AEOS 1 has commenced and payments totally â¬1.4 million have now issued. Payment of the initial 75% of the 2010 entitlement will continue to be paid to farmers in the coming weeks once they have passed the comprehensive administrative check, including cross-checks with the Land Parcel Identification System.
Payment of the remaining 25% is due to commence in October while payments in respect of year 2 for AEOS 1 applicants will commence in November.
Approvals for AEOS 2 applicants will issue shortly and I expect that will commence in the first quarter of 2012.
