Question:

Written answers

The person named commenced REPS 4 in May 2008 and received payments for the first four years of their contract.

REPS 4 is a measure under the current 2007-13 Rural Development Programme and is subject to EU Regulations which require detailed administrative checks on all applications to be completed before any payments can issue. Following these checks an area discrepancy was discovered between the Single Farm Payment for 2012 and the REPS Agri-Environmental Plan which has resulted in the need for further clarification. This issue has now been resolved and payment in respect of 2012 will issue shortly.

Question No. 1003 answered with Question No. 989.
