Article 78 Application of reductions on each support scheme

1. The amount of the payment to be granted to a farmer under a support scheme listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 shall be calculated by the Member States on the basis of the conditions established in the support scheme in question, taking into account, if necessary, the overrun of the basic area, of the maximum guaranteed area, or of the number of animals entitled to benefit from the premiums.

2. For each support scheme listed in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 73/2009, reductions or exclusions due to irregularities, late submissions, non-declarations of parcels, exceeding the budgetary ceilings, modulation, financial discipline and non-respect of cross-compliance shall be carried out, if necessary, in the following way and sequence:

(a) the reductions or exclusions provided for in Chapter II of Title IV shall be applied with regard to irregularities;

(b) the amount resulting from the application of point (a) shall serve as a basis for the calculation of any reductions to be applied in case of late submissions in accordance with Articles 23 and 24;

(c) the amount resulting from the application of point (b) shall serve as a basis for the calculation of any reductions to be applied in cases of non-declaration of agricultural parcels in accordance with Article 55;

(d) with regard to those support schemes for which a budgetary ceiling is fixed in accordance with Articles 51(2), 69(3), 123(1) and 128(1) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 or applied in accordance with Articles 126(2), 127(2) and 129(2) of that Regulation, Member State shall add the amounts resulting from the application of points (a), (b) and (c).

For each of those support schemes, a coefficient shall be determined by dividing the amount of the budgetary ceiling in question by the sum of the amounts referred to in the first subparagraph. If the coefficient obtained is higher than 1, a coefficient equal to 1 shall be applied.

To calculate the payment to be granted to the individual farmer under a support scheme for which a budgetary ceiling is fixed, the amount resulting from the application of points (a), (b) and (c) of the first subparagraph shall be multiplied by the coefficient determined in the second subparagraph.
