140. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when the payment rates for the GLAS measures will be announced; if he proposes to announce these payment rates before formal plans are submitted to the European Commission; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [26355/14]

The final consultation on the draft Rural Development Programme (RDP) has just recently closed and work on the costed elements of the GLAS Scheme, which form the basis of the payment rates, is well advanced. I expect to be in a position to make an announcement in this regard in the very near future, before I submit the proposals to the European Commission.
