<p>£642 million is the total cumulative value of disallowance penalties for the 2007-2013
Single Payment Scheme, a number of smaller 2007-13 CAP schemes, and pre-2007 predecessor
schemes. Most of the disallowance related to early problems with the mapping system
prior to 2010, but finally settled some years later, after the process of mediation
had concluded.</p><p>Defra negotiates hard to reduce the level of disallowance initially
proposed by the EU and is also working to reduce the risk of future disallowance by
improving domestic systems and controls, and by arguing for a simplification of the
current CAP. This includes pushing for a review of the EU’s system for controls -
the Integrated Administration and Control System (IACS) - to bring about a more pragmatic
and proportionate approach to inspections, checks and penalties.</p><p> </p><p><br></p>
