Article 28U.K.Administrative checks
1.The administrative checks referred to in Article 74 of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013, including cross-checks, shall permit the detection of non-compliances, in particular the automated detection using computerised means. The checks shall cover all elements that are possible and appropriate to control by means of administrative checks. They shall ensure that:
the eligibility criteria, commitments and other obligations for the aid scheme or support measure are fulfilled;
there is no double financing through other [F1Union] schemes;
the aid application or payment claim is complete and submitted within the relevant time-limit and, where applicable, that supporting documents have been submitted and that they prove eligibility;
there is compliance with long-term commitments, where appropriate.
2.In respect of animal aid schemes and animal-related support measures, [F2Member States] [F2a relevant authority] may, where appropriate, make use of evidence received from other services, bodies or organisations to verify the compliance with the eligibility criteria, commitments and other obligations, provided that the service, body or organisation in question is operating to a standard sufficient to control such compliance.
