Basic Payment Scheme: guidance

If you intend to take part in the Basic Payment Scheme you must read this guidance carefully and make sure you understand the requirements of the scheme.


34. Financial discipline

If the overall European Commission budget for direct aid payments is in danger of being exceeded, there is a mechanism (Financial Discipline) which reduces payments being made across all European Union Member States.

This provision is designed to protect European Union taxpayers from budget increases. If we need to do this, we will provide further information with your payment advice letter.
