[F3For the investments in the sugar sector the date referred to in the first subparagraph shall be 3 March 2006 .]

The purchase of land shall only concern the purchase of eligible land within the meaning of Article 44 (2) of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003.

In any case, the part of the increase in production capacity and/or the purchase of land for which the farmer is already entitled to be allocated payment entitlements and/or reference amounts for the reference period shall not be taken into account for the application of this Article.

[F54. Long term lease of six and more years started by 15 May 2004 at the latest shall be considered as a purchase of land or investment in production capacity for the application of paragraph 1.

[F3For the investments in the sugar sector the date referred to in the first subparagraph shall be 3 March 2006 .]

[F4For the long-term leases in the banana sector the date referred to in the first subparagraph shall be 1 January 2007 .] ]

5.Where a farmer already owns payment entitlements, in case of purchase or long term lease, the number of payment entitlements shall be calculated on the basis of the hectares purchased or rented and, in case of other investments, the total value of the existing payment entitlements may be increased within the limit of the reference amount referred to in paragraph 1.

6.Where a farmer has no hectares or does not own any payment entitlements, the number of payment entitlements shall be calculated by dividing the reference amount referred to in paragraph 1 by a unit value that shall not be higher than EUR5 000.

The value of each payment entitlement shall be that unit value.

The payment entitlements shall be subject to the conditions referred to in Article 49 of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003. The 50 % of the agricultural activity referred to in paragraph 2 of that Article shall be established by the Member State in accordance with objective criteria.
