The person named was approved for participation in the 2011 Agri-Environment Options Scheme with effect from 1st September 2011 and has received full payment in respect of the 2011 and 2012 Scheme years.
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 in respect of the 2013 Scheme year, an issue was identified regarding the parcel use for one of the selected actions. This issue has been successfully resolved and payment of 75% for 2013 will issue next week , with the 25% to issue shortly afterwards.
