The final year of the AEOS 2 contract of the person named was due to end at the end of 2016. However, the herdowner applied for GLAS and was accepted into that scheme with a contract commencement date of 1 January 2016, therefore, replacing the AEOS contract.

The person named subsequently withdrew from the GLAS contract at a late stage.

Following a review, and in light of the particular set of unique circumstances of this case, a decision has been made to allow the AEOS contract to run to its full term. Payment of monies relating to the AEOS 2016 scheme year will be issued to the person named shortly.
