The person named was approved for participation in the Agri-Environment Options Scheme (AEOS 3) with effect from 1^stMay 2013.

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. These checks are well under way and payments for AEOS 3 in respect of 2013 will commence shortly.
