The person named applied to join this Scheme in 2008. Under paragraph 8.6 of the Terms and Conditions of the Scheme, each participant is required to submit information relating to the measures undertaken on this Scheme through the ICBF. This applicant supplied the required information for animals born during 2008 and payment was issued to the named person in respect of twenty two eligible animals. No information has been received in respect of animals born during 2009, 2010 and 2011.
The person named was advised of this by letter dated 26th August 2011 and was requested to return the required information by 5th September 2011. To date, no information or correspondence has been received and therefore the person named is ineligible for any payments under the Suckler Welfare Scheme for animals born during 2009 and subsequent years.
