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.


36. Payment in euros

We provide producers with the option of receiving certain payments in euros. These are, at present, those covered by the Direct Payments programme (Basic Payment Scheme and the sheep and beef support schemes).

If you wish to be paid in euros, you must indicate by answering the relevant question on your Single Application Form. If we have paid you in euros in the preceding year (for example, SFPS in 2014) we will use the same account details for your payment.

For the time being, this facility is not be available for other measures such as the Less Favoured Area Support Scheme and certain agri-environment schemes.
