AEOS Payments To Begin Next Week
Agri-Environment Options Scheme (AEOS) payments are due to begin next week, Agriculture Minister Simon Coveney has announced.
A total of €45 million is to be paid out before Christmas.
The figure follows more than €5m paid to the remaining Rural Environment Protection Scheme (REPS) farmers, bringing the overall total paid in REPS to over €30m for the year.
Both AEOS and REPS are designed to help wildlife habitats, endangered species of flora and fauna and the broader rural environment, and underpin the production of food in an environmentally-friendly manner.
Minister Coveney said: "Following the completion of detailed verification checks by his Department, which are required under EU regulations, AEOS payments will begin this week and in excess of €45 million will be paid out before Christmas."
The €45m payment will bring the total paid out in AEOS to over €75m.
