To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine based on an average payment of €270/ha of single payment paid as per the Commission’s proposals on the reform of the common agricultural policy, the amount that would be paid on a flat rate basis on all land in a holding in excess of 25ha if a payment of €350/ha was paid on the first 25ha; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

The calculation requested by the Deputy is set out in the table below, based on the 2010 SPS payment database used by my Department to model CAP reform proposals.
Flat rate payment on land greater than 25 ha, if a payment of €350/ha paid on first 25 ha
2010 SPS Payment total | €1,247,527,160 |
---|---|
less payment for first 25 ha of each farm @€350 per ha | €914,490,518 |
Balance of 2010 SPS payment € | €333,036,643 |
Remaining Land (in excess of 25 ha per farm) ha | 2,104,730 |
Flat Rate for land in excess of 25 ha (balance of payment divided by remaining land) | €158 |
