The person named was notified that the circumstances outlined in her application did not satisfy the criteria for force majeure or exceptional circumstances under Article 40 of Council Regulation (EC) No. 1782/2003.
My Department has, following a re-examination of the circumstances of this case, including the additional information submitted on appeal, decided that the reference years 2000 and 2001 will be excluded from the calculation of the single farm payment entitlements for the person named and the entitlements will be based on the reference year 2002 only. A statement of provisional entitlements reflecting this position will issue shortly to the person named.
