Vol. 500 No. 1

Written Answers - Rural Environment Protection Scheme.

Pádraic McCormack

Ceist:

145 Mr. McCormack asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if, further to Parliamentary Question No. 261 of 27 January 1999, the conditions of the REP scheme referred to in the second paragraph mean that he is applying conditions retrospectively to participants who have been approved under the old specifications. [3496/99]

All REP scheme participants undertake to comply with the conditions of the scheme for a period of five years. The condition referred to in the second paragraph of my reply to Parliamentary Question No. 261 of 27 January 1999 has always been a condition of the REP scheme and, accordingly the question of retrospection does not arise.
