The person named was approved for participation in the Agri-Environment Options Scheme with effect from 1st November 2010.
Under the EU Regulations governing the Scheme and other area-based payment schemes, a comprehensive administrative check, including cross-checks with the Land Parcel Identification System, must be completed before any payment can issue. During these checks a query arose in relation to the re-digitisation of land parcels for AEOS purposes. This particular problem has now been addressed with a view to issuing payment as quickly as possible.
An application under the 2011 Single Payment Scheme was received from the person named on 12 May 2011. A number of the land parcels listed on the application required digitisation on to my Department's Land Parcel Identification System which is now complete. Disadvantaged Area Scheme and Single Payments Scheme payments will issue shortly.
