220. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the number of BPS recipients with payment entitlements with an initial unit value less than 60% of the BPS national average in each of the years over the 2014 to 2020 period, by county in tabular form; the proportion in each county with an initial unit value less than 60% of the BPS national average out of total BPS recipients in each such year; and the date on which all BPS recipients will be above the 60% average in each county [18282/19]

Table A details the number of Basic Payment Scheme entitlement holders with an Initial Unit Value less than 60% of the Basic Payment Scheme national average from 2015 to 2019 by county while Table B shows the percentage of Basic Payment Scheme entitlement holders with an Initial Unit Value less than 60% of the Basic Payment Scheme national average out of the total Basic Payment Scheme entitlement holders from 2015 to 2019 by county.
The Basic Payment Scheme came into being in 2015 therefore values are not available for 2014. The future of CAP in the year 2020 and beyond continues to be subject to discussion, therefore values for 2020 are not available. As outlined in the tables below, all Basic Payment Scheme entitlement holders will have entitlements values above or equal to 60% of the Basic Payment Scheme national average in 2019. All values are subject to rounding.

221. To ask the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine if all BPS entitlements will reach the minimum value of 60% of the basic payment scheme national average by 2019 as scheduled; the number of entitlements that have reached the minimum value of 60% of the basic payment scheme national average; and the number of entitlements that have not reached the minimum value of 60% of the basic payment scheme national average.

All eligible farmers were notified of the value of their Basic Payment Scheme (BPS) payment entitlements for the scheme years of 2015 to 2019. In accordance with Article 25(4) of EU Regulation 1307/2013, the net unit value of all BPS payment entitlements were scheduled to reach a minimum value of 60% of the BPS national average by 2019.
As we are now in the 2019 BPS year, the net unit value of all BPS payment entitlements have reached the minimum 60% of the BPS national average.
