In this case payment of £776.48 was made under the 2001 area-based compensatory allowance scheme on 24 September 2001 in respect of 8.96 hectares of less severely handicapped land at £60 per hectare and including an additional sum of £238.88 under a compensation package agreed with the European Commission for farmers experiencing losses under the 2001 area-based compensatory allowance scheme. The additional sum is equal to 90% of the difference between the average sum of the headage payments under the 1998, 1999 and 2000 headage schemes and the amount payable under the 2001 area-based compensatory allowance scheme.
No applications were received in this case under the 2001 suckler cow premium, the 2001 ewe premium, 2001 slaughter premium or 2001 special beef premium schemes.
