It should be noted that while Pillar 1 (EAGF) Direct Payments are subject to a financial ceiling, the total Pillar I funds received from the EU vary year-to-year due to a variety of reasons including the timing of payments relative to the recoupment claim dates, market measures and exceptional measures introduced in a given year and also take account of relevant monies due from the Member State to the Commission.
