answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2015 answer text <p>Countryside Stewardship has introduced significant rationalisation with regard to its predecessors; integrating three legacy schemes into one.

However, the application process has been inevitably more complex than intended given the need for a paper based application system this year.</p><p>The stricter EU control rules have resulted in greater reliance on record keeping and other documentary evidence to demonstrate compliance but we have already published guidance on the controls applicable to the scheme in order to clarify the requirements.</p><p>We will evaluate this first year of the scheme and simplify it wherever possible.</p> answering member constituency Camborne and Redruth answering member printed George Eustice question first answered 16/10/2015 12:14:38 answering member 3934 label Biography information for George Eustice

At the request of the four Fisheries Ministers, Seafish introduced a transparent process in 2012 to agree priorities for spending.
