1.Aid for processing the straw of flax and hemp grown for fibre shall be introduced.
The aid shall be granted to authorised primary processors on the basis of the quantity of fibre actually obtained from straw for which a sale/purchase contract has been concluded with a farmer.
However:
(a)in cases where the authorised primary processor and the farmer are one and the same person, the sale/purchase contract shall be replaced by a commitment by the party concerned to carry out the processing himself;
(b)in cases where the farmer retains ownership of the straw which he is having processed under contract by an authorised primary processor and proves that he has placed the fibres obtained on the market, the aid shall be granted to the farmer.
2.No aid shall be paid to authorised primary processors or farmers who are found to have artificially created the conditions for receiving the aid, thereby enjoying an advantage that does not conform to the objectives of this scheme.
[F13. The amount of processing aid per tonne of fibre shall be fixed as follows:
(a) for long flax fibre:
(a) EUR 100 for the 2001/2002 marketing year,
EUR 160 for the 2002/2003 to 2007/2008 marketing years,
EUR 200 from the 2008/2009 marketing year onwards,
(b) for short flax fibre and hemp fibre containing not more than 7,5 % impurities and shives: EUR 90 for the 2001/2002 to 2007/2008 marketing years.
However, for the 2001/2002 to 2007/2008 marketing years, the Member State may, with reference to traditional outlets, also decide to grant aid:
(b) for short flax fibre containing a percentage of impurities and shives of between 7,5 % and 15 %,
for hemp fibre containing a percentage of impurities and shives of between 7,5 % and 25 %.
In the cases provided for in the second subparagraph, the Member State shall grant the aid in respect of a quantity which amounts to not more than the quantity produced, on the basis of 7,5 % of impurities and shives.]
4.The quantities of fibre eligible for aid shall be limited on the basis of the areas which were the subject of one of the contracts or commitments referred to in paragraph 1.
The limits referred to in the first subparagraph shall be fixed by the Member States so as to comply with the national guaranteed quantities referred to in Article 3.
5.At the request of authorised primary processors, an advance shall be paid on the aid on the basis of the quantity of fibre obtained.
