The person named was approved for participation in the 2011 Agri-Environment Options Scheme (AEOS) with effect from the 1st September 2011 and full payment totalling €1,333.32 issued in respect of 2011.
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 application was selected for a ground inspection which took place on 7th November 2012. There are a number of outstanding issues regarding this inspection. These queries will be resolved as soon as possible, following which the application be further processed further with the intention of issuing payment for 2012 as soon as possible.
