Following the mid-term review of Agenda 2000 all livestock premia and arable aid schemes, including the suckler cow premium scheme, were abolished with effect from 1 January 2005 and replaced by the single payment scheme. There is, therefore, no suckler cow quota national reserve in operation for 2005. Under EU regulations a single payment scheme national reserve was set up to provide for the allocation of entitlements to certain categories of farmers. My Department issued a national reserve application form to the person named on 7 June. If he considered himself eligible under one of the categories provided for in that reserve, he should have submitted the completed application form by 10 June.
