The person named w as approved for participation in the 2012 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. During these checks a query arose in respect of land parcels declared which required digitisation. This digitisation process has been completed and the application has successfully completed the required checks in respect of the 2013 Scheme year and payment will issue shortly.
