239 Mr. Perry asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food if he will ensure that a person (details supplied) receives the ten month special beef premium on this animal in view of the fact that they contacted the Department on 16 April 2004 and if he will give this case serious consideration; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

View answerUnder EU regulations governing the special beef premium scheme, applicants are required to hold all animals applied on for a two month retention period, beginning on the date after receipt of the application by my Department.
In circumstances where an individual fails to comply fully with the provisions of governing regulations, my Department conducts a review in order to establish the circumstances involved. My Department will be writing to the person named in order to establish the precise circumstances of the case before arriving at a final decision.
