Question:86 Mr. Ring asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development when a person (details supplied) in County Mayo will receive 2000 cattle and sheep headage. [22748/00]
The person named included 57.00 hectares in his 2000 area aid application. An area of 56.50 hectares was determined which is some 0.50 hectares or 0.88% less than the area claimed.
Under Article 9 of EU Regulation 3887/92, no penalty is applied when the difference is less than 3%. Therefore, in this case no penalty is applied, leaving the area determined for payment purposes at 56.50 hectares. Any payments due based on this area will issue as soon as possible.
