Minister for Agriculture and Food (Mary Coughlan)

The person named has been notified that the circumstances outlined in his single payment scheme application for consideration of force majeure/exceptional circumstances did not satisfy the criteria laid down under Article 40 Council Regulation (EC) No. 1782/2003.

Following this decision the person named submitted an appeal to the Independent Single Payment Appeals Committee. This appeal is listed for examination at next week's sitting of the committee. A full review of the circumstances of the case will be carried out by the Independent Single Payment Appeals Committee and the person named will be notified shortly of the outcome.
