The person concerned is an applicant under the 2012 Disadvantaged Areas Scheme.
Currently, this applicant is one of a number, whose cases are impacted by a requirement of a minimum stocking density of 0.3 livestock units per forage hectare and who have applied for a derogation in this regard. Immediately a decision is reached on this application, the person concerned will be notified in writing about this aspect. Should the decision be negative, a fully independent appeals procedure is available.
In addition, in order to meet EU requirements, the application concerned was one of a number which was selected for inspection. As soon as the inspection and related processes are completed, the application concerned will be progressed in this regard.
