The terms and conditions governing the 2003 area based compensatory allowance scheme require that applicants maintain a minimum stocking density of an average of 0.15 livestock units per forage hectare in the calendar year preceding the year of application. As CMMS checks to establish what stock was on the holding in 2002 were unable to establish that the minimum stocking was maintained, my Department wrote to the person named on 13 October 2003 asking him to detail the stock which was maintained by him on his holding during the year. No reply has been received by my Department's local office and a final decision regarding the eligibility or otherwise of the application cannot be made until a reply is received.
