An application under the Single Payment Scheme-Disadvantaged Area Compensatory Allowance Scheme was received from the person named on 13 May 2005. The application was randomly selected for an on-the-spot cross compliance inspection. During the course of the inspection it was found that the movement of two animals was not notified to the cattle movement monitoring system and that 19 animals were not registered on that system. As a result of these identification and registration errors a 5% cross compliance penalty was applied.

The penalty resulted in the single farm payment being reduced by €129.90. A reduced payment of €2468.08 issued on 1 December 2005. To date no review has been sought. However if the person named is not satisfied with the result of the inspection, he may seek a review by contacting his local office. He also has the right to appeal the outcome of any such review.
