The person in question applied for consideration of force majeure exceptional circumstances on 6 February 2004. After a full examination by the single payment unit and the independent single payment appeals committee of the circumstances put forward, it was agreed that force majeure should be applied in this case. As a consequence, 2000 and 2001 will be excluded and only 2002 will be used to establish single payment entitlements for the person. This represents the best possible position available to the person named under the force majeure measures of the single farm payment scheme. A letter notifying the person named of this decision issued on 1 November 2004.
