The person named commenced their Organic Farming Scheme contract on 1 June 2012 and has been paid for the 2012-2014 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 take place. It is expected that these checks will be completed shortly following which the file will be processed for payment.
