Farmer payments worth €215m under various schemes are at risk as schemes enter their final months.
GLAS I and II, BDGP II, and the Sheep Welfare Scheme are due to end this year.
It had been anticipated that a new CAP would be in place in 2021 to replace them but that has been delayed. Instead, there will be a transitional period of at least one year.
No indication has been given if these schemes will be rolled over.
Contracts to 36,000 GLAS farmers provide €151m, BDGP is worth €45.5m to 23,300 farmers and the Sheep Welfare Scheme provides €16m to 18,500 farmers.
The legal provisions for a transitional phase are yet to be finalised at EU level.
Without them, any decisions on scheme extensions are unlikely.
