Adoption of REPS proposals delayed
Final approval for the scheme at this week's committee meeting was signalled and had been widely anticipated.
Farm Minister Joe Walsh said he was disappointed at the inability of the STAR Committee to formallly adopt the proposals, but he was pleased with the confirmation from the Commission that, when the scheme is introduced, all farmers with a start date or anniversary date on or after March 1, 2004, will be able to benefit from the improved terms of current proposals.
