537. Deputy Jackie Cahill asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and the Marine the reason a person (details supplied) has only received a quarter of a payment under Scottish derogation; when the person will receive the rest of the payment; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [14422/16]
Amharc ar fhreagraThe person named submitted an application for allocation of entitlements under the ‘Scottish Derogation’ measure of the Basic Payment Scheme on 22nd 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. These checks have now been completed. The person named has received his full allocation of entitlements under Scottish Derogation measure which gives a total value including greening of €1,542.01. 97% payment issued to the person named on 11 April 2016 and the 3% balancing payment will issue shortly. An official from my Department will be in direct contact with the person named regarding the methodology for calculating his entitlements.
