Under the Terms and Conditions of both REPS and AEOS farm units cannot be artificially created by dividing or enlarging existing holdings with a view to obtaining a financial advantage. No payment shall be made in favour of beneficiaries for whom it is established by the Department that they artificially created the conditions required for obtaining such payments.
