Where a farmer currently in the Agri-Environment Options Scheme (AEOS) is admitted to the GLAS scheme no reimbursement of aid paid under the AEOS contract will be required. However any outstanding penalty for non compliance with AEOS requirements in respect of the period prior to transformation to GLAS will remain due.
