The Rural Payments Agency (RPA) is an executive agency of the United Kingdom Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), and is responsible for administering the Single Farm Payment (SFP) scheme. This scheme was introduced following Common Agricultural Policy reforms agreed in 2003 to replace several existing CAP subsidy payments. In the light of growing concerns about the RPA's ability to meet its March 2006 deadline for making the new payment to farmers in England, the Committee's interim report sets out its immediate concerns about the performance of the RPA and Defra in their preparations for the implementation of the new SFP. |
