Regulation 10 Applications for first premium
Subject to paragraph (2), a producer retaining a bovine animal in the first age bracket on their holding may apply to the Scottish Ministers for first premium in respect of that animal in relation to a given scheme year.
No application for first premium shall be made by a producer–
if, pursuant to Article 10(2) of Commission Regulation 3887/1992, the producer is prohibited from making such an application for the scheme year in question;
in respect of a bovine animal for which first premium has already been paid;
in respect of a bovine animal for which first premium has been applied for but for which payment is outstanding; or
in respect of a bovine animal for which an application for first premium has previously been made, but on which that premium has not been paid as a result of the application of the provisions contained in Article 3 of Commission Regulation 2342/1999.
