The person named commenced their AEOS 3 contract on 1 May 2013. Payments have issued in respect of the 2013-2015 Scheme years.

Under the EU Regulations governing the Scheme and other area-based schemes, a comprehensive check, including cross checks with the Land Parcel Identification System must take place. Issues arose during these checks relating to the classification of crops. These issues have now been resolved and it is expected that payments due will issue shortly.
