View answerThe reduction in question is due to the application of Financial Discipline. This is a reduction of 2.453658% and is applied in accordance with the relevant EU Regulations. It was necessitated by the need to ensure that the overall EU budget is not exceeded. The reduction applies on all payments under the Single Payment Scheme in excess of €2,000.
