Question:227 Mr. Creed asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development if he will review the decision to impose a penalty deduction on a beef premium application by a person (details supplied) in County Cork. [25956/01]
The person named applied for special beef premium on 33 animals on 16 May 2001. EU regulations require that animals must be held for a two month retention period. The person named was informed in writing on 26 June 2001 that the first date on which the animals listed on the application could be sold was 17 July 2001. However, five of the animals were sold and one was slaughtered on 16 July, thereby incurring a penalty of loss of premium on six animals and a reduced payment in respect of the remaining animals on the application. The person named has been informed of the procedure to be followed if he wishes to appeal the decision.

On the basis of the declarations, he did not qualify for premium but following the investigations his stocking density has been recalculated and it has been found that he is, in fact, eligible for the premium. Arrangements are being made to have the premium paid in early course.
