The person named was approved for participation in the 2012 Agri Environment Options Scheme (AEOS 3) with effect from the 1 ^stMay 2013 and payment has issued in respect of the 2013 Scheme year. 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 currently being processed in respect of the 2014 Scheme year and I expect 75% payment to issue shortly. The balancing 25% payment will follow thereafter.
