ANNEX VII U.K. Calculation of the reference amount referred to in Article 37

A. Area aids U.K.

1. Where a farmer has received area aids, the number of hectares, to two decimal places, for which a payment has been granted, respectively, in each year of the reference period, shall be multiplied by the following amounts: U.K.

1.1. For cereals, including durum wheat, oilseeds, protein crops, linseed, flax and hemp grown for fibre, grass silage and set-aside: U.K.

• EUR 63/t multiplied by the yield as provided for in Article 4(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 determined in the regionalisation plan for the region concerned applicable in the calendar year 2002.

This point shall apply without prejudice to the provisions laid down by Member States in application of Article 6(6) of Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999.

By way of derogation from Article 38, for flax and hemp, the average shall be calculated on the basis of the number hectares for which a payment was granted in the calendar year 2001 and 2002.

1.2. For rice: U.K.

• EUR 102/t multiplied by the following average yields:
  Member States	Yields (t/ha)
  Spain	6,35
  France
  — Metropolitan territory	5,49
  — French Guyana	7,51
  Greece	7,48
  Italy	6,04
  Portugal	6,05

1.3. For grain legumes: U.K.

• for lentils and chick peas, EUR 181/ha

• for vetches, respectively, EUR 175,02/ha in 2000, EUR 176,60/ha in 2001 and EUR 150,52/ha in 2002.

2. Where a farmer has received durum wheat supplement or special aid, the number of hectares, to two decimal places, for which such a payment has been granted, respectively, in each year of the reference period, shall be multiplied by the following amounts: U.K.

In the zones listed in Annex II of Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999 and in Annex IV of Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999:

• EUR 291/ha for the single payment to be granted for the calendar year 2005,

• EUR 285/ha for the single payment to be granted for the calendar year 2006 and subsequent calendar years.

In the zones listed in Annex V of Regulation (EC) No 2316/1999:

• EUR 46/ha for the single payment to be granted for the calendar year 2005.

3. For the purpose of the preceding points, ‘number of hectares’ shall mean the determined number of hectares corresponding to each different type of area aid listed in Annex VI of this Regulation, for which all the conditions laid down in the rules for the granting of the aid have been met, taking into account the application of Articles 2(4) and 5 of Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999. In case of rice, by way of derogation to Article 6(5) of Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95, where the areas given over to rice in one Member State in the reference period exceeded its Maximum Guaranteed Area for this period, the amount per hectare shall be reduced proportionally. U.K.

B. Potato starch payment U.K.

Where a farmer has received potato starch payment, the amount shall be calculated by multiplying the number of tonnes for which such a payment has been granted, respectively, in each year of the reference period, by EUR 44,22 per tonne of potato starch. Member states shall calculate the number of hectares to be included in calculation of the single payment proportionately to the number of tonnes of potato starch produced for which the aid provided for in Article 8(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 has been granted, respectively, in each year of the reference period, and within the limits of a base area to be fixed by the Commission on the basis of the number of hectares, covered by a cultivation contract in the reference period, communicated by Member States.

C. Livestock premiums and supplements U.K.

Where a farmer has received livestock premiums and/or supplements, the amount shall be calculated by multiplying the number of determined animals for which such a payment has been granted, respectively, in each year of the reference period, by the amounts per head established for the calendar year 2002 by the corresponding Articles referred to in Annex VI, taking into account the application of Article 4(4), Article 7(2) and Article 10(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999 or Article 8(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2529/2001.

By way of derogation from Article 38, for sheep and goat additional payments granted on the basis of Article 11(2) first, second and fourth indent of Regulation (EC) No 2529/2001, the average shall be calculated on the basis of the number of animals for which the payment has been granted in the calendar year 2002.

However, the payments under Article 4(2) second subparagraph of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999, shall not be taken into account.

Moreover, by way of derogation from Article 38, in case of application of Article 32(11) and (12) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 2342/1999 and Article 4 of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1458/2001, the number of animals, for which a payment was granted in the year during which such measures were applied, to be taken into account for the calculation of the reference amount, shall not be higher than the average of the number of animals for which a payment was granted in the year/years during which such measures were not applied.

D. Dried fodder U.K.

When a farmer has delivered fodder under a contract as provided for in Article 9(c) of Regulation (EC) No 603/95 or a declaration of areas as under Article 10 of the same Regulation, Member States shall calculate the amount to be included in the reference amount proportionately to the number of tonnes of dried fodder produced for which the aid provided for in Article 3 of that Regulation has been granted, respectively, in each year of the reference period, and within the limits of the following ceilings expressed in EUR millions:
Member State	Ceiling for fodder processed into the products referred to in Article 3(2) of Regulation (EC) No 603/95 (dehydrated fodder)	Ceiling for fodder processed into the products referred to in Article 3(3) of Regulation (EC) No 603/95 (sun-dried fodder)	Total ceiling
UEBL	0,049		0,049

E. Regional aids U.K.

In the regions concerned, the following amounts shall be included in the calculation of the reference amount:

• EUR 24/t multiplied by the yields utilised for the area payments for cereals, oilseeds, linseed and flax and hemp grown for fibre in the regions indicated in Article 4(4) of Regulation (EC) No 1251/1999;

• the amount per head as provided for in Article 9(1)(a) and (b) of Regulation (EC) No 1452/2001, Articles 13(2) and (3), 22(2) and (3) of Regulation (EC) No 1453/2001, Article 5(2) and (3), 6(1) and (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1454/2001, multiplied by the number of animals for which such a payment has been granted in 2002;

F. Seed aids U.K.

Where a farmer has received seed production aid, the amount shall be calculated by multiplying the number of tonnes for which such a payment has been granted, respectively, in each year of the reference period, by the amount per tonne established in application of Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71. Member States shall calculate the number of hectares to be included in calculation of the single payment proportionately to area accepted for certification for which the aid provided for in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 has been granted, respectively, in each year of the reference period, and within the limits of a base area to be fixed by the Commission on the basis of the total area accepted for certification as communicated to the Commission according to Regulation (EEC) No 3083/73. This total area shall not include the area accepted for certification for rice (Oryza sativa L.), spelt (Triticum spelta L.), and fibre and oil flax (Linum usitatissimum L.) and hemp (Cannabis sativa L.) that already has been declared for arable crops.

[F1 J. Hops U.K.

Where a farmer has received hops area aid or temporary resting aid, Member States shall calculate the amounts to be included in the reference amount by multiplying the number of hectares, to two decimal places, for which a payment has been granted, respectively, in each year of the reference period, by an amount of EUR 480 per hectare.]
