The person named is the husband of a participant in the 1994 scheme of early retirement from farming, who joined the scheme under the joint management arrangement. Consequently he too has ceased farming. His wife qualifies for the maximum rate of pension payable under the 1994 scheme, which is set by the EU Council regulation under which the scheme was introduced. Therefore it is not possible to increase the rate of pension.
