The person named was approved for participation in the 2010 Agri-Environment Options Scheme (AEOS 1) with effect from the 1stNovember 2010 and payment has issued in respect of the 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 Scheme years. 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. The application was selected for a ground inspection which took place on the 19thAugust 2014. Following this inspection an issue arose in respect of the declaration of Natura areas on the AEOS 1 application form. The file is currently being reviewed by officials in my Department and it will be made available to the Agriculture Appeals Office shortly.
