177 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for Agriculture, Food and Rural Development if an area aid application will be approved for a person (details supplied); and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29192/01]
In the light of the foot and mouth situation earlier this year, I arranged for the closing date for submission of area aid applications to be extended by four weeks to 27 April 2001. In line with the relevant EU regulations, since an area aid application was not submitted by the person named within the extended timeframe, no area aid related payments can issue.
