The position is that under Article 2.2 of Commission Regulation 3887/92 my Department must satisfy itself that where new holdings are created after 30 June 1992 they are in fact legitimate entities managed separately from existing holdings and that holdings which existed prior to 1992 are not split into two or more holdings with the sole purpose of avoiding individual limits on eligibility for premiums. In general, therefore, where two holdings existed separately prior to June 1992 they would not be amalgamated under the provisions of regulation 3887/92.
