Three applications were received requesting the transfer of Single Payment entitlements from the person named to other farmers, two by way of sale and one by way of lease for one year.
As my Department was not satisfied that the two applications relating to the sale of entitlements were received prior to the closing date of 17 May 2010, these applications were rejected on 13 October 2010. The person named sought a review of this decision and the original decision was upheld following that review. The case has since been appealed to the Independent Appeals Office.
As the application to transfer entitlements by way of lease omitted the land parcels that form part of this transaction, a letter issued from the Transfer of Entitlements section on 13 October 2010 requesting the details of these parcels. A further request for this information issued on 11 February 2011. To date this information has not been provided by the person named and consequently this application remains outstanding.
