View answerThe person named has been notified that the circumstances outlined by him did not satisfy the criteria for force majeure-exceptional circumstances under Article 40 of Council Regulation (EC) No. 1782/2003, as the illness of his father dated back to 1977.
Following this decision the person named submitted an appeal, the full circumstances of which will be examined by the independent single payment appeals committee. The decision in respect of this appeal will be issued shortly to the named person.
