View answerMy Department received a 2015 Private Contract Clause application from the person named. The application has been processed and payment under the Basic Payment Scheme will issue as soon as possible.
The person named also submitted a 2015 National Reserve and Young Farmers Scheme application to my Department. Processing of National Reserve and Young Farmers Scheme applications is underway which involves administrative and on farm checks and verification of land details submitted under the 2015 Basic Payment Scheme application.
These checks are required under EU Regulations. In cases where additional information is required, my Department will correspond directly with the applicant concerned. When all checks have been completed and processing of applications has been finalised, my Department will correspond directly with each applicant to advise them of the outcome of their application. Payments to successful applicants under the National Reserve and Young Farmers Scheme will commence early in December 2015.
