The person named was approved for participation in the Agri-Environment Options Scheme (AEOS) with effect from 1 November 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. The applicant named was also selected for an on farm inspection. These checks have now all been successfully completed and I expect 2010 payment to issue shortly.

The person named was approved for participation in the Agri-Environment Options Scheme with effect from 1 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 has now been addressed and 2010 payment will issue shortly.
