The person named submitted five applications under the 2004 special beef premium scheme, in respect of a total of 62 animals. Following initial processing of the application received on 14 October 2004, in respect of 11 animals, it was found that ten of these animals were non-CMMS compliant as they were not recorded as being in the herd of the person named on the date the application was received. Letters dated 22 November 2004, 5 January 2005 and 6 April 2005 were sent to the person named regarding this matter. No reply was received. The movement of these animals was subsequently updated on the CMMS database on 29 July 2005. A further application from the person named was received on 20 December 2004, in respect of 34 animals. Initial processing of this application revealed 14 animals as non-CMMS compliant. An official of my Department will make direct contact with the person named in order to in order to establish the reasons why the animals were not recorded on the CMMS database at the time of application.
