The person named submitted a 2014 Single Farm Payment/Disadvantaged Areas’ scheme application on 28 March 2014. EU Regulations governing the administration of these schemes require that full and comprehensive administrative checks, including in some cases Remote Sensing (i.e. satellite) inspections, be completed before any payments issue.

The application of the person named was selected for a Remote Sensing eligibility inspection. This inspection is currently being finalised with the intention of issuing any payment-s due as soon as possible. In the event that any queries arise officials in my Department will be in contact with the person named.
