The person named has already benefited under the New Entrant Measure of the Single Payment Scheme. He commenced farming in 2002. Under the anti-accumulation rules in the EU Regulation, he cannot be granted both the Inheritance and the New Entrant Provisions. He was given New Entrant status because it was more beneficial than the Inheritance. This case is now being reviewed and an official from my Department will be in contact shortly with the person named to explain the position.
