The person named is a new applicant for area aid. In accordance with normal control procedures, new applicants are subjected to a ground inspection of their holding before being issued with a herd number and before their area aid applications can be processed. This process has now been completed and the 2002 area aid application of the person named has been fully processed with an area determined for payment purposes of 13.70 hectares. The person named will be paid his full entitlement under the 2002 area-based compensatory allowance scheme shortly.
