Written answers

The person named was a participant in the AEOS2 scheme which finished on 31 December 2016.

One of the actions selected was Conservation of Genetic Resources. The terms and conditions relating to this action require the participant to be a member of the relevant breed society for the full term of the contract.

As the person named has not complied with this requirement, he is not eligible for payment under this action and all money paid for this action over the course of the scheme must be recouped.

The person named will be offered the opportunity to request a review of this decision including any relevant supporting documentation. Should a review be requested the original decision will be reviewed within the Department. The person named will be informed in writing of the outcome of such a review and if they remain dissatisfied with the decision they will have the option to submit an appeal to the Agriculture Appeals Office.
