DAIRY PREMIUM
We introduced a new Dairy Premium and Additional Payment
for 2004. If you held milk quota on 31 March 2004 and
submitted a claim for the premium you will receive the
Dairy Premium 2004 and Additional Payment provided you
produced or marketed milk during the 2003/2004 quota year
or began milk production before 17 May 2004. The Dairy
Premium and Additional Payment will be decoupled in 2005
and added to the Single Farm Payment. If you hold milk
quota on 31 March 2005 and are eligible for these payments
we will apportion them to the number of entitlements you
have in 2005, so increasing each entitlement's value. The
payment rates are due to increase in 2006 and we will
increase the value of your entitlements in 2006 to take
account of this increase.
