Description of the methodology and the agronomic assumptions used as reference point for the calculations justifying additional costs and income foregone resulting from the disadvantages in the area concerned related to the implementation of Directives 79/409/EEC and 92/43/EEC
The calculation of the Natura 2000 payment does not include any transaction cost element and is set out in Appendix 3A.
Evidence as referred to in article 48(2) of the implementing rules allowing the Commission to check consistency and plausibility of the calculations
The costings have been independently verified by Teagasc.
