A last chance for late Single Payment applicants
The Department of Agriculture and Food is writing to farmers to whom single payment entitlements had been allocated, but who did not submit an application form before the June 10, 2005 final deadline for activating entitlements.
Their entitlements will be surrendered to the National Reserve, unless they respond immediately to the department's letter, and acquire a late, 2005 Single Payment Scheme application accepted on the grounds of force majeure or exceptional circumstances, including not being farming in 2005.
