Scoring SystemDepending on the level and profile of subscribers, and in order to align participation with the objectives of the scheme, a scoring system will be applied to applications and will be based on some or all of the following criteria:
Those who score highest in this screening process will be invited to apply for the scheme and select the actions they propose to carry out under it. Their applications will be assessed to make certain that the environmental value of the proposed undertakings are consistent with the priorities of biodiversity, water management and climate change. Individual undertakings may be altered or restricted on their environmental merits and to limit the level of payment. In any case, a maximum payment per farmer will apply. Farmers will be required to carry out their farming activity in accordance with their commitments for a period of at least 5 years. Structure of the Scheme:Payment will be for actions going beyond the baseline of GAEC and cross-compliance; this baseline will apply to the whole farm. The applicant will be invited to select actions appropriate to his environmental profile, with the possibility of choosing one or more additional options which must have specific relevance to the holding in question. The applicant may be required to undertake actions different from those he has proposed, if in the opinion of the Department they would make a greater contribution to the objectives of the Scheme. Agri-environment commitments may be adjusted during the period for which they apply, on consent of the competent authority, provided that the adjustment is duly justified having regard to the objectives of the commitment. The table below sets out the actions consistent with the new challenges and levels of support available. The costings of the measures set out in Appendix 3A have been independently verified by Teagasc. Full details relating to the status of Teagasc and the verification process are set out in Appendix 6. Where the relevant mandatory standards or requirements established pursuant to Articles 5 and 6 of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 and its Annexes, the minimum requirements for fertiliser and plant protection product use and other relevant mandatory requirements established by national legislation are amended, the agri-environment contract shall be adjusted to take account of any such legislative changes. If the beneficiary does not accept such adjustment, the commitment shall expire and reimbursement shall not be required. Actions and Amounts of Support
