As detailed in my reply to the previous Parliamentary Question on this case, the persons named failed to cooperate with a Bovine IDR inspection under the 2013 Single Farm Payment Scheme/Disadvantaged Areas schemes, which resulted in a penalty of 100% being recorded against the relevant 2013 payments.

The persons named requested a review of this decision. The outcome of this review was to uphold the original decision and the persons named w ere informed of this decision on 29 May 2014.

I understand that the persons named have appealed this decision to the independent Agriculture Appeals Office and that an oral hearing was recently held on the appeal. The persons named will be notified of the outcome of the appeal as soon as possible.

In the event that the persons named consider that the appeal has not been dealt with fairly, they can bring the matter to the attention of the Office of the Ombudsman.
