The person concerned submitted a 2000 area aid application on which he declared a total of 29.76 hectares forage and 2.46 hectares cereals. In 1999 he applied for 29.76 ha forage and 2.46 ha cereals. In 1998 he applied for 29.63 ha forage and 2.32 ha cereals and in 1997 he applied for 29.63 ha forage and 2.43 ha cereals.
The person concerned did not include land parcel No. D25315004 on his application since 1996. All applications have been fully processed for the area on which he applied.
In so far as including extra land in his application is concerned, guidelines for this are set out in the help sheet for 2001 area aid applications. It was a matter for the person named to include all his holdings on his 2001 application and lodge his application by the 27 April closing date.
Under EU regulations governing the special beef premium and suckler cow schemes, a stocking density limit of two livestock units per hectare applies based on the forage area declared on an applicant's area aid application.
