View answerThe person named commenced REPS 4 in June 2009 and received payments for the first two years of the contract.
REPS 4 is a measure under the current 2007-13 Rural Development Programme and accordingly is subject to EU Regulation which require detailed administrative checks on all applications to be completed before any payments can issue. The administrative checks in relation to the 2011 payments have been finalised and payments have now commenced. However, the person named was selected for an on-farm inspection and following the completion of this inspection the file is being processed further with a view to early payment in respect of 2011.
