The person named was approved into the AEOS Scheme with a start date of 1 November 2010.

Under EU Regulations comprehensive checks had to be carried out before approval into the scheme was granted and as these checks were finalised approval letters were issued to applicants. All applications were processed as quickly as possible and due to the complex nature of the checks relating to applications involving SAC areas, these applications were approved with effect from 1 November 2010. The person named has a contract period of 5 years and two months.
