57 Mr. Deenihan asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if farmers will be allowed to continue to take up supplementary measure 6 of the REP scheme at any stage during their five year plan; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [13636/99]
Under the provisions of the new REP scheme document of 1 January 1999 and the revised agri-environmental specifications, applications under supplementary measure six may only be made at the time an application for a new five year plan is being submitted.
