View answerThe person named has to date submitted four applications under the 2004 EU special beef premium scheme, one on 23 February 2004 in respect of ten animals, one on 7 May 2004 in respect of 14 animals, one on 30 September 2004 in respect of three animals and one on 5 November 2004 in respect of 11 animals. In any given year, advance payments cannot begin before 16 October. Furthermore the two month regulatory retention period must have expired before such payments can commence.
Under my Department's computer-based risk analysis programme, the herd of the person named was selected for an on-farm inspection, which was carried out on 15 November 2004. The results of the inspection have now been input and the 60% advance payments due in respect of the applications lodged in February and May will issue in the coming days. Advance payments in respect of applications lodged in September are scheduled to commence next week. Advance payments in respect of applications lodged in November are scheduled to commence in February.
The person named applied for premium on 18 animals under the 2004 suckler cow premium scheme. The results of the inspection carried out on 15 November 2004 have now been updated and this case has been processed for payment of the 60% advance instalment, which will issue within the week.
