I propose to take Questions Nos. 354 to 358, inclusive, and 360 to 362, inclusive, together.
The persons concerned are applicants under the 2012 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme. Currently, they are part of a larger group, whose cases are impacted by a requirement of a minimum stocking density of 0.3 livestock units per forage hectare and who have applied for a derogation in this regard. These applications are currently under consideration and, immediately a decision is reached, they will be notified in writing. However, should the decision be negative, a fully independent appeals procedure is available.
On a more general level, I can also confirm that payments under the 2012 Scheme are scheduled to begin issuing as and from 26 September, directly to the nominated bank accounts of Scheme applicants, whose applications have been determined at that stage. These payments will include derogation cases where the applications have successfully met terms of the scheme and are fully processed for payment.
