To date the independent single payment appeals committee has examined 2,375 appeals in respect of decisions taken by my Department under the force majeure-exceptional circumstances measure of the single payment regulations. Some 36 of these cases remain open because the appeals committee has requested additional information from the appellants. A further 270 cases, submitted to the appeals committee in the last two weeks, are awaiting decision.
