Following computer validation it was found that one of the animals applied for on 12 October 2004 had been sold before expiry of the regulatory two-month retention period, thus giving rise to a 2.12% reduction penalty. Three under age animals applied for on the application dated 15 December 2004 were deleted as innocent errors.
Payments amounting to €4,540.34 in total issued to the person named in respect of his four applications under the 2004 EU Special Beef Premium Scheme, representing full payment on a total of thirty-six eligible animals i.e forty animals applied upon, less three under age and one rejected. These payments reflected the 2.12% penalty and the quota cut reductions due following the breach of the 2004 National Ceiling for Special Beef Premium.
