CHAPTER 5U.K.Payment for young farmers
Article 50E+S+N.I.General rules
1.[F1The relevant authority] shall grant an annual payment to young farmers who are entitled to a payment under the basic payment scheme or the single area payment scheme referred to in Chapter 1 ("payment for young farmers").
2.For the purposes of this Chapter, 'young farmers', means natural persons:
(a)who are setting up for the first time an agricultural holding as head of the holding, or who have already set up such a holding during the five years preceding the first submission of an application under the basic payment scheme or the single area payment scheme referred to in Article 72(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013; and
(b)who are no more than 40 years of age in the year of submission of the application referred to in point (a).
[F23.Young farmers applying for the payment under this Article must also meet any objective and non-discriminatory requirements specified by the relevant authority prior to exit day regarding appropriate skills and/or training requirements.]
4.Without prejudice to the application of financial discipline, of reduction of payments in accordance with Article 11 and of linear reductions in accordance with Article 7 of this Regulation, and to the application of Article 63 of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013, the payment for young farmers shall be granted annually upon activation of payment entitlements by the farmer F3....
[F45.The payment for young farmers shall be granted per farmer for a period of five years, starting from the first submission of the application for the payment for young farmers provided that that submission takes place within the five years following the setting up referred to in point (a) of paragraph 2. That period of five years shall also apply for farmers who have received payment for young farmers in respect of claims before claim year 2018.
By way of derogation from the second sentence of the first subparagraph, [F5the relevant authority] may decide that, for those young farmers who set up in accordance with point (a) of paragraph 2 in the period 2010-2013, the five-year period is to be reduced by the number of years which have elapsed between the setting up referred to in point (a) of paragraph 2 and the first submission of the application for the payment for young farmers.]
6.Each year, [F6in accordance with the legislation applying in the constituent nation, the relevant authority] shall calculate the amount of the payment for young farmers by multiplying the number of entitlements the farmer has activated in accordance with Article 32(1) by a figure corresponding to:
[F4(a)between 25 % and 50 % of the average value of the owned or leased-in payment entitlements held by the farmer; or
(b)between 25 % and 50 % of an amount calculated by dividing a fixed percentage [F7of the relevant authority’s share] of the national ceiling for the calendar year 2019 F8... by the number of all eligible hectares declared [F9in the constituent nation] in 2015 in accordance with Article 33(1). [F10The fixed percentage shall be equal to the percentage of the relevant authority’s share of the national ceiling which remained for the basic payment scheme in the constituent nation for 2015.]]
F117.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
[F48.By way of derogation from [F12paragraph 6] of this Article, [F13where the legislation applying in the constituent nation so provides, the relevant authority shall] calculate each year the amount of the payment for young farmers by multiplying a figure corresponding to a value between 25 % and 50 % of the F14... average payment per hectare [F15in the constituent nation] by the number of entitlements that the farmer has activated in accordance with Article 32(1)F16....]
The F17... average payment per hectare [F18in the constituent nation] shall be calculated by dividing [F19the relevant authority’s share of] the national ceiling for the calendar year 2019 F20... by the number of eligible hectares declared [F21in the constituent nation] in 2015 in accordance with Article 33(1) F22....
9.[F23The] maximum limit applicable to the number of payment entitlements activated by the farmer or to the number of eligible hectares declared by the farmer [F24is the single maximum limit set by the relevant authority prior to exit day]. That limit shall not be below 25 or above 90. [F25The relevant authority] shall respect that limit when applying paragraphs [F266 and 8].
F2710.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
[F2810A.Paragraphs 3, 6 and 9 only apply where the decisions to which they refer were taken and notified to the Commission by 31 January 2015.]
11.In order to guarantee the protection of the rights of beneficiaries and to avoid discrimination among them, the [F29appropriate authority may make regulations] concerning the conditions under which a legal person may be considered to be eligible to receive the payment for young farmers.
