Single payment changes announced

Single payment changes announced - 2004 - DEFRA News Release (150/04) 22 April 2004 (2) .

SoS for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs has announced a change to the basis on which the new Single Payment, which farmers in England will receive from 2005 under Common Agricultural Policy reforms, will be calculated. Originally split into two regions - land in the Severely Disadvantaged Area (SDA) and all other land, England will now be divided into three regions: moorland within the upland SDA, the rest of the upland SDA and all land outside the upland SDA. SoS's written ministerial statement is available at http://www.defra.gov.uk/corporate/ministers/statem ents/mb040422.htm. http://www.defra.gov.uk/news/2004/040422a.htm
