The EU Regulations governing the administration of Basic Payment Scheme and other area-based schemes require that full and comprehensive administrative checks, including in some cases Remote Sensing (satellite) inspections, be completed to confirm eligibility under the schemes.
The 2015 Basic Payment application of the person named was selected for a Remote Sensing (satellite) inspection. This inspection resulted in findings of an over-declaration in area under 3% and under 2 ha. The person named was notified of this decision on 20 November 2015 and of their right to seek a review of the decision. To date no such request has been received.
Payments due under the 2015 Basic Payment Scheme issued to the person named on 15 March 2016 and 29 March 2016 respectively. The final balancing payment due is currently being processed and will issue to the nominated bank account of the person named as soon as possible.

Having examined all documentation submitted in connection with the Review under Force Majeure the person named has been deemed successful. Following on from this successful review the Transfer of Entitlements Application has also been accepted and processed. Letters outlining these decisions have issued to the person named. A revised statement of entitlements will issue shortly.
