238. Deputy Charlie McConalogue asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine when he will issue a payment to a person (details supplied) under the Scottish derogation scheme; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19976/16]
View answerThe person named submitted an application for allocation of entitlements under the ‘Scottish Derogation’ measure of the 2015 Basic Payment Scheme on 25 May 2015.
Under EU Regulations governing the Basic Payment scheme, processing of applications involves administrative and on farm checks and verification of land details submitted. Preliminary checks indicate that the person named is eligible under the Scottish Measure, however, a final decision cannot be made until the outstanding documentation which has been requested from the person named has been submitted. My Department has also been in contact with the person named by telephone regarding this issue.
