The 2001 area aid application for the person named has now been fully processed and any area aid related payment will issue as soon as possible.
Advance payment in respect of slaughter premium 2001 to the amount of €4,664.00 has been made to the person named, under the second herdnumber quoted, for 110 animals found eligible for the period January to December 2001. Six of the heifers also qualified for the national envelope slaughter premium top-up amounting to a total of €109.68. A further 49 animals slaughtered under the first herd number quoted were found to be ineligible for payment, as they were under the age of eight months on the date of slaughter.
Following a BSE outbreak in the herd of the person named, the issues regarding the herdnumbers and the area aid application have now been finalised. Advance payment in respect of special beef premium can therefore issue within the next two weeks.
