I was very pleased to open the GLAS online application system on Monday 23rdFebruary 2015 for the preparation of the first Tranche of GLAS applications. The closing date for the submission of applications was originally set for 30 April 2015, but following negotiation with the EU Commission it now may be possible to extend that to 22 May. After the first tranche closes, all GLAS applications received will be assessed and approved in line with the priority environment assets and pre-determined selection criteria. All applicants will be notified in writing of the outcome of their application.
