Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 29 June 2004
112 Mr. Neville asked the Minister for Agriculture and Food when decisions will be made regarding force majeure or exceptional circumstances with regard to the establishment of entitlements under the single payment scheme under the mid-term review of Agenda 2000. [19247/04]
Amharc ar fhreagraMy Department is processing the applications received from farmers in respect of the force majeure or exceptional circumstances measure. Applicants are being notified directly of the decision in their case. In many instances, it is necessary to seek further information and or additional documentation from farmers in order that their applications can be fully assessed. I urge farmers to respond promptly to these requests. Any applicant who is dissatisfied with the decision in his or her case is entitled to appeal the decision to the single payment appeals committee.
