According to recent media reports, the figure for applications under the beef exceptional aid measure, BEAM, scheme amounted to €78,192,380. This means that there were not enough applications received because the figure provided for was €100 million. Are the criteria for the schemes entirely home-grown? I know that half of the money came from Brussels and half from here. Do we come up with the criteria?
