Article 18U.K.Basis of calculation in respect of area-related payments
1.With regard to an aid applications under the basic payment scheme, [F1the small farmers scheme,] the re-distributive payment[F2, the payment for areas with natural constraints] and, where applicable, the young farmer scheme and where the [F3Member State][F3relevant authority] applies the basic payment scheme, the following shall apply:
(a)
if the number of payment entitlements declared exceeds the number of payment entitlements at the beneficiary’s disposal, the number of payment entitlements declared shall be reduced to the number of payment entitlements at the beneficiary’s disposal;
(b)
if there is a difference between the number of payment entitlements declared and the area declared, the area declared shall be adjusted to the lowest figure.
[F4This paragraph shall not apply in the first year of allocation of payment entitlements.]
2.In case of the payment for young farmers and where the [F5Member State][F5relevant authority] opts for the payment method laid down in Article 50(6)[F6, (7)] and (8) of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013; if the area declared under the basic payment scheme [F7or the single area payment scheme] exceeds the limit set by the [F5Member State][F5relevant authority] in accordance with Article 50(9) of that Regulation, the area declared shall be reduced to that limit.
3.In case of the re-distributive payment, if the area declared under the basic payment scheme [F8or the single area payment scheme] exceeds the limits set by the [F9Member State][F9relevant authority] in accordance with Article 41(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013, the area declared shall be reduced to that limit.
4.[F10In case of the payment for areas with natural constraints and where the Member State opts for the payment method laid down in Article 48(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013, if the area declared under the basic payment scheme or the single area payment scheme exceeds the maximum number of hectares set by the Member State, the area declared shall be reduced to that number.]
5.In case of aid applications and/or payment claims under area-related aid schemes or support measures, if the area of a crop group determined is established to be greater than the area declared in the aid application, the area declared shall be used for the calculation of the aid.
6.Without prejudice to administrative penalties in accordance with Article 19, in the case of aid applications and/or payment claims under area-related aid schemes or support measures, if the area declared exceeds the area determined for a crop group as referred to in Article 17(1), the aid shall be calculated on the basis of the area determined for that crop group.
However, without prejudice to Article 60 of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013, if the difference between the total area determined and the total area declared for payment under the direct aid schemes established in [F11Titles III, IV and V][F11Titles III and IV] of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 or the total area declared for payment under an area-related support measure is less than or equal to 0,1 hectare, the area determined shall be set equal to the area declared. For this calculation only over-declarations of areas at the level of a crop group as referred to in Article 17(1) shall be taken into account.
The second subparagraph shall not apply where that difference represents more than 20 % of the total area declared for payments.
7.For the purpose of calculating the aid under the basic payment scheme, the average of the values of different payment entitlements in relation to the respective area declared shall be taken into account.
