Details

This status report, which sets out a factual update on direct payments (including “greening”), will be of relevance to those with an interest in how we implement the revised Common Agriculture Policy (CAP) in England. It is based on our best understanding of the CAP proposals, but some details could change significantly before the new direct payments system actually comes into operation in January 2015.

We have set out only a high level view, because detailed rules are not yet available. If you expect to claim direct payments, you should not rely on this note when making business decisions but instead you may want to seek professional advice.
