Three applications were received in May 2007 requesting the transfer of entitlements from the person named to three other farmers by way of sale under the 2007 Single Payment Scheme year.

Since no relevant supporting documentation was received with the original applications and as two of the requested transfers involved sales with land, it was necessary for my Department to request copies of Sale Agreements. In addition, as one of the transferees was claiming New Entrant status, supporting documentation in relation to this claim was also requested. This documentation was duly received.

An issue relating to the Single Payment entitlement account of one of the proposed transferees has delayed the processing of these transfers. This issue has since been resolved and the requested transfers will be processed as soon as possible. Once the requested transfers have been completed, the person named will have 39.40 entitlements remaining in his account. As he has declared 36.38 hectares on his 2007 Single Payment application, he will receive payment on 36.38 entitlements.
