The information requested in relation to CAP Pillar 1 expenditure under the 2014 Single Payment Scheme, and under the Basic Payment Scheme (BPS), Greening and the Young Farmers Scheme for the years 2015 - 2018, is provided in the table.
These schemes are paid from EU and not national funding. EU Regulation 1307/2013 sets out the ceilings to apply for these payments each year, rather than a budget per se, and Ireland's ceiling decreases each year.
The ceilings set by the EU Commission are the maximum payment amount allowable within the scheme for each year. Where the ceiling has not been utilised in full, these amounts remain available to the member states to pay applicants who subsequently become eligible for payment. Such payments are made on an on-going basis as cases are resolved.
Please note that there has been no expenditure to-date under CAP Pillar 1 in relation to the 2019 scheme year.
