TITLE IVU.K.COUPLED SUPPORT

CHAPTER 1U.K.Voluntary coupled support

Article 52U.K.General rules

1.[F1The relevant authority] may grant coupled support to farmers under the conditions laid down in this Chapter (in this Chapter referred to as "coupled support").

2.Coupled support may be granted to the following sectors and productions: cereals, oilseeds, protein crops, grain legumes, flax, hemp, rice, nuts, starch potato, milk and milk products, seeds, sheepmeat and goatmeat, beef and veal, olive oil, silkworms, dried fodder, hops, sugar beet, cane and chicory, fruit and vegetables and short rotation coppice.

3.Coupled support may only be granted to those sectors or to those regions of a [F2constituent nation] where specific types of farming or specific agricultural sectors that are particularly important for economic, social or environmental reasons undergo certain difficulties.

4.By way of derogation from paragraph 3, coupled support may also be granted to farmers who:

(a)on 31 December 2014, have payment entitlements granted in accordance with Section 2 of Chapter 3 of Title III and Article 71m of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 and in accordance with Article 60 and the fourth paragraph of Article 65 of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009; and

F35.. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

[F46.Coupled support is a production-limiting scheme that shall take the form of an annual payment based on fixed areas and yields or on a fixed number of animals and shall respect financial ceilings to be [F5jointly agreed by the relevant authorities for each constituent nation.]]

7.In the case of a legal person, or a group of natural or legal persons, [F6the relevant authority] may apply the limits referred to in paragraph 6 at the level of the members of those legal persons or groups where national law provides for the individual members to assume rights and obligations comparable to those of individual farmers who have the status of a head of holding, in particular as regards their economic, social and tax status, provided that they have contributed to strengthening the agricultural structures of the legal persons or groups concerned.

8.Any coupled support granted under this Article shall be consistent with [F7measures provided for in Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 and Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 and any other measures specified for the purposes of this paragraph by virtue of paragraph 9].

9.In order to ensure efficient and targeted use of [F8agricultural support] and to avoid double funding under other similar support instruments, the [F9Secretary of State may make regulations] laying down:

(a)the conditions for granting coupled support;

(b)rules on consistency with other [F10measures provided for in Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 and Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 and any other measures specified for the purposes of this paragraph by virtue of paragraph 9] and on the cumulation of support.

[F1110.The [F12Secretary of State may make regulations] supplementing this Regulation as regards measures in order to avoid beneficiaries of voluntary coupled support suffering from structural market imbalances in a sector. Those [F13regulations] may allow [F14for support to] continue to be paid until 2020 on the basis of the production units for which voluntary coupled support was granted in a past reference period.]

[F1511.The Secretary of State may not make regulations under paragraph 9 or 10 without the consent of each of the relevant authorities for Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

Where the relevant authority for Wales, Scotland or Northern Ireland requests that the Secretary of State makes regulations under paragraph 9 or 10, the Secretary of State must have regard to that request.]
