The person named included a number of forage parcels on his 2003 area aid application on which a number of over-claims was established. Two of the land parcels which were over-claimed were declared by the person as forage but, in fact, represented 17.61 hectares of forestry. An overall over-claim of 62.22 % was established.
Under EU rules when the over-claim is greater than 20% of the found area, a 100% penalty must be applied and no area aid linked payments can issue to the applicant.
