The person named submitted a 2015 Transfer of Entitlements Allocation Right and Reference Value application to my Department seeking the transfer of allocation rights and reference values by Change of Registration details from two individuals who previously held the above herd number in joint names, to the person named who now holds the above herd number in his sole name. On 15 October 2015 my Department wrote to both the transferors and transferee under this application requesting further information which is required in order to process the transfer application. No reply has been received to date. My Department will contact the parties again with a view to clarifying the outstanding issues.
The person named also submitted applications under the ‘young farmer’ category of the National Reserve and the Young Farmers Scheme to my Department. Once payment under the Basic Payment Scheme has been made, the applications to the National Reserve and Young Farmers Scheme will be processed.
The person named commenced their AEOS 1 contract on 1 November 2010 and has been paid for the 2010-2014 scheme years.
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 take place. As it is their final scheme year re-checks on payments made for all scheme years must be completed before final payment can be processed. It is expected that these checks will be completed shortly.
Question No. 230 withdrawn.
