Oilseed Rape -Energy
United Oilseeds are once again offering an Energy contract for harvest 2009, with the company acting as the first processor.
Last year only 1.5 million hectares of the two million hectares of aid available in the EU was allocated. And with a greatly reduced cropping area this winter as a result of last year's late harvest, it is likely that there will once again be plenty of aid still available.
Administration Fee
United Oilseeds have set their administration fee for the scheme at a very competitive rate
England and Wales
- Entitlement is €45/ha
- Modulation fee is 19%
- This leaves €36.45/ha prior to the first processor's fees
- Members will have €22.50/ha available to them after United Oilseeds' administration fee
Scotland
- Entitlement is €45/ha
- Modulation fee is 8.5%
- This leaves €41.17/ha prior to the first processor's fees
- Members will have €27.22/ha available to them after United Oilseeds' administration fee
Contract requests should be made to United Oilseeds by 30th April 2009.
SFP Forms
SFP submissions must be made to the RPA by 15th May 2009.
When filling in your SP5 form for your single farm payments, you will be asked for a crop cover code. There are four options quoted in annex B. The correct option for Oilseed Rape is EC3 (Energy crops - colza seeds covered by CN code 1205 10 90).
Contract Amendments
In the event of needing to make an amendment to your Energy contract you will need to fill in an ENC7 form, which is available for download here.
If you have any queries about the SFP or ENC7 forms please contact your local area manager or the Devizes Office
