No Single Payment entitlements were established for the person named as he did not receive any premia payments under the coupled regime during the 2000-2002 reference period. The person named submitted applications under the 2005, 2006, 2007 and 2008 National Reserve.
The person named applied under Category A of the 2005, 2006 and 2008 National Reserve which catered for farmers who, after 1 January 2000, acquired land free of charge or for a nominal sum from a farmer who had retired or died by 16 May 2005 and who had leased out his/her holding to a third party during the 2000-2002 reference period. The person named was deemed ineligible under this category as he acquired the land prior to 1 January 2000.
Under the 2007 National Reserve the person named applied under Category C, which catered for farmers for whom at least 40% of their existing Single Payment was derived from direct payments associated with sheep production (Ewe Premium/Rural World Premium) during the reference period. Their existing Single Payment must have been less than €10,000 and the value of individual payment entitlements must have been less than the District Electoral Division (DED) average value. The maximum allocation under this category was €1,000.00. The person named was not eligible under this category, as he did not establish a Single Payment.
