The amount of Pillar 2 (EAFRD) funds received per annum is primarily based on the eligible expenditure in the relevant period with funds generally received from the EU in the quarter after the expenditure by the Department. However, it can be noted that no pillar 2 receipts were received in 2014. This is because the first receipts in respect of 2014-2020 RDP schemes were not paid by the Commission until formal approval of RDP in 2015 while, as per regulation, the payment by EU of last 5% of receipts for the 2007-13 programme was delayed until formal closure of RDP in 2016.
