Article 46Regional allocation of the national ceilings referred to in Article 40
1.Having introduced the single payment scheme in accordance with Chapters 1 to 4 of Title III of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003, a Member State may decide to apply the single payment scheme in or after 2010 at regional level under the conditions laid down in this Section.
Where that decision applies from 2010, it shall be taken by 1 August 2009. In any other case it shall be taken by 1 August 2010.
2.Member States shall define the regions in accordance with objective and non-discriminatory criteria such as their institutional or administrative structure and the regional agricultural potential.
Member States may consider their whole territory as one single region.
3.Member States shall divide the national ceilings referred to in Article 40 between the regions in accordance with objective and non-discriminatory criteria. Member States may decide that these regional ceilings shall be subject to annual progressive modifications in accordance with no more than three pre-established annual steps and objective and non-discriminatory criteria such as the agricultural potential or environmental criteria.
4.Where a Member State applying paragraphs 1, 2 and 3 of this Article decides not to apply Article 47, it shall, to the extent necessary to respect the applicable regional ceilings, adjust the value of the payment entitlements in each of its regions. To this end, the payment entitlements shall be subject to linear reductions or increases in their value. The total reduction in the value of the payment entitlements under this paragraph shall be limited to 10 % of their initial value.
5.If a Member State decides to apply both Article 45 and this Article, the reductions in the value of the payment entitlements referred to in paragraph 4 of this Article shall be taken into account for the calculation of the limits set in the second subparagraph of Article 45(2).
