EU Regulations governing the administration of these schemes require that full and comprehensive administrative checks, including in some cases remote sensing (i.e. satellite) inspections, be completed before any payments issue.

Payment due under the Areas of Natural Constraints Scheme issued on 20th October 2016. Payment due under the Basic Payment Scheme is due to issue this week to the nominated bank account of the person named.
