2 October 2017, Central government
The complainant requested any information relating to whether a particular piece of land was subject to the requirements of cross compliance and in receipt of Pillar 1 farm payments under the Common Agricultural Policy. The Rural Payments Agency (RPA) initially relied on Regulation 13(5)(a) of the EIR to neither confirm nor deny whether the requested information was held. During the course of the Commissioner’s investigation the RPA disclosed the requested information to the complainant. The Commissioner’s decision is that the RPA has breached Regulation 5(2) of the EIR as it provided the information outside the 20 working day time frame. As the information has been provided to the complainant the Commissioner does not require the RPA to take any steps.
EIR 5(2): Upheld
