We are now into April and the RLE 1 deadline for transferring entitlements has passed (April 2nd).  SPS / SAF applications have to be in by or on 15th May. The RPA are having a big push for more of the applications to made on  line.   It is possible that by 2015 all applications may have to made on line (whether this is practical is another issue).  The new Basic Payment Scheme is likely to start in 2015 where an increase in the ‘greening’ requirement is amongst other proposed changes to what we have at the moment.
