The person named applied for consideration of force majeure or exceptional circumstances on 21 January 2004 on the grounds of an outbreak of TB and brucellosis during the reference period. Having fully examined the circumstances outlined by the person named, my Department is satisfied that force majuere circumstances should apply in this case. The year 2000 will be excluded and the years 2001 and 2002 only, will be used in the calculation of the provisional single payment entitlements in this case. The person named was notified of this decision on 31 January 2005.
