About the Book

From 2005, the Single Payment Scheme replaced previous European Union (EU) production-based agricultural subsidy schemes. The Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) had chosen to implement, through the Rural Payments Agency (the Agency), the most complex option for reform in the shortest possible timescale. The Agency had badly underestimated the scale of the task and this led to delays in making payments to farmers, erroneous payments, and additional project and administrative costs (see "The Delays in Administering the 2005 Single Payment Scheme in England (HC 893)" - ISBN 9780215036179). The Agency has estimated that there were GBP 20 million of overpayments for the 2005 Scheme and GBP 17.4 million for the 2006 Scheme. The Agency has taken little action to recover the identified overpayments, with the risk that farmers may have unknowingly spent the money in the interim.Of 19 overpayments in excess of GBP 50,000 paid in August 2006, the Agency had started the recovery process with only two of the farmers affected. Other conclusions from the report include major changes made to the Agency's IT systems that have enabled most farmers to receive payments earlier under the 2006 Scheme than for the 2005 Scheme. There has been a substantial impact on the costs of the business change programme to improve the Agency's efficiency and the total project cost is now likely to exceed GBP 300 million. In mid 2007, staff numbers in the Agency peaked at 4,600 and are not expected to reduce to 3,500 until 2010. The Agency is still not able to offer adequate advice to farmers on the progress of their claim. It was reluctant to specify targets by when such information would be available and when payments would be made under the 2008 Scheme.
