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. These checks have been successfully completed in respect of the 2014 Scheme year and full payment has issued to the person named – 75% payment issued on the 20thMarch 2015 and the balancing 25% payment issued on the 23rdMarch 2015.
