Beneficiaries under the Agri-Environmental Options Scheme (AEOS) may make a case to withdraw from the scheme for reasons beyond their control under the Force Majeure provision as set out in Section 19 of the Terms and Conditions of the scheme. As stated in PQ 26230/15 the Department did not have any record of a request from the person named to withdraw from the scheme. My officials are currently reviewing the case on its merits in light of the documentation submitted with this parliamentary question and will be writing to the person named shortly in relation to the matter.
