The person named submitted an application under the single payment scheme on 13 May 2005 in respect of 67.10 entitlements. However, payment in the amount of €22,074.77 issued in respect of only 56.66 entitlements on 1 December 2005 as the applicant declared a total forage area of 56.66 hectares on his 2005 single payment application.

The person named submitted an application on 3 March 2006 to consolidate his entitlements under the consolidation measure of the scheme. This application has now been fully processed and a payment of the outstanding balance of his single payment, following consolidation, will issue in the coming days.
