Payments under the single payment scheme are scheduled to commence on 1 December 2005. A single payment application form has been received from the registered herd owner together with an application to consolidate his entitlements. A statement of provisional entitlements issued to the registered herd owner on 6 August 2004, indicating that he has 48.04 entitlements with a total net value of €10,282.96.

Under the provisions of the EU regulations governing the single payment scheme, payments to eligible applicants can be made in the period from 1 December of the scheme year to 30 June of the following year. I propose to commence payments under the 2005 scheme on 1 December 2005.
