I propose to take Questions Nos. 209 and 210 together.
Article 4 (h) of Council Regulation (EEC) N.2066/92 states that a producer must have a stocking density of less than 1.4 livestock units in order to qualify for extensification premium. Male animals up to and including 24 months are each classified as 0.6 of a livestock unit.
The stocking density of the holding of the person named was calculated for 1997 as follows:
|
A milk quota of 31,137 gallons was declared on his area aid application. Dividing this by the national average figure of 897 gallons this represents = |
34.71 Lus. |
|
All animals applied for under the special beef premium scheme 39 × 0.6 Lus each = |
23.40 Lus. |

Total livestock units = |
58.11 Lus. |
