The question
To ask the Scottish Government whether it will provide a breakdown of common agricultural policy funding distributed by each Rural Payments and Inspections Directorate area office in the Highlands and Islands in each of the last five years.
The answer
The quinquennial breakdown of common agricultural policy funding by each Rural Payment and Inspections Directorate area office is in the following tables that should be read in conjunction with the following explanatory comments.
‘Highlands and Islands’ has been taken to mean all the parishes within the geographical boundary of the Highlands and Island constituency of The Scottish Parliament.
“…the last five years…” has been taken to mean the most recent five years for which data is available, which for expenditure funded by the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund ends in 2013 and for the European Fund for Agricultural Rural Development ends in 2014.
The level of common agricultural funding varies according to the source of funding. Direct payments are fully funded (100%) from the European Agricultural Guarantee Fund, whereas rural development funding from European Fund for Agricultural Rural Development involves a co-financing arrangement between the European Commission and The Scottish Government.
