The person named was approved for participation in the Agri-Environment Options Scheme with effect from 1st September 2010. Under the EU Regulations governing the Scheme and other area-based payment schemes, a comprehensive administrative check, including cross-checks with the Land Parcel Identification System, must be completed before any payment can issue. During these checks a query arose in respect of a land parcel that required digitisation for AEOS purposes. This particular problem is now being addressed by my Department with a view to progressing the application to payment stage as quickly as possible.
