Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine

The person named submitted an application for allocation of entitlements under the ‘Scottish Derogation’ measure of the 2015 Basic Payment Scheme.

EU Regulations require that all applications are subject to administrative and on farm checks and verification of land details submitted under their 2015 Basic Payment Scheme application. An issue regarding land details is currently under investigation and is due to be resolved shortly. When this issue has been resolved, my Department will correspond directly with the person named and advise him of the outcome of his application.
