View answerTo date, 126,109 farmers have received payments totalling €1.15 billion under the 2015 Basic Payment Scheme (BPD). The process of definitively establishing entitlements under the 2015 BPS and issuing relevant statements to farmers is currently being finalised. The final balancing payment (approximately 3%) to issue to farmers will be calculated and issued shortly after the completion of the establishment of entitlements process.
