The person named was approved for participation in the 2012 Agri Environment Options Scheme (AEOS 3) with effect from the 1stMay 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. During these checks in respect of the 2014 scheme year an issue was identified in relation to the Conservation of Animal Genetic Resources. This issue has now been resolved and all validations have now been successfully completed. The 75% payment in respect of 2014 will issue shortly and the balancing 25% payment will issue thereafter.
