Payments under the single payment scheme are scheduled to commence on 1 December 2005. An application received from the person named has been fully processed with an area determined for payment purposes of 47.61 hectares. 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 to 30 June of the scheme year of the following year. I propose to commence payments under the 2005 scheme on 1 December 2005.
