The person named submitted an application under the Force Majeure measure of the Single Payment Scheme on 05^thFebruary 2004.

Following examination of this application, my Department deemed this application unsuccessful as it did not satisfy the criteria laid down in Article 40 of Council Regulation EC No 1782/2003, determining Force Majeure/Exceptional  Circumstances.

The person named subsequently appealed this decision to the Independent Single Payment Appeals Committee who having re-examined all aspects of the case recommended that the original decision taken by my Department should be upheld.

As the person named has explored all avenues in relation to their Force Majeure application this case is considered closed.
