The person named was approved for participation in the 2011 Agri-Environment Options Scheme with effect from the 1st September 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. During these checks a query arose in respect of land parcels declared by the person named which has now been resolved. Payment for the year 2011 is being processed and will issue shortly and will be followed by payments for 2012 and 2013, subject to validation checks.
