[F5The first subparagraph shall only apply if a system of spatial intersection of all aid applications with the identification system for agricultural parcels is in place in accordance with Article 17(2) for all beneficiaries.
In respect of claim year 2015 the rate of errors found in the random sample checked on the spot shall not exceed 2 % in the preceding two financial years. That rate of errors shall be certified by the Member State in accordance with the established methodology drawn up at Union level.]
[F6In respect of claim year 2016 the rate of errors found in the random sample checked on the spot shall not exceed 2 % in the preceding financial year. That rate of errors shall be certified by the Member State in accordance with the new methodology drawn up at Union level taking account of Article 7(4) of Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 908/2014(1).]

The first subparagraph shall only apply if [F11Member States] [F11the relevant authority] systematically update the identification system for agricultural parcels and check all beneficiaries in the entire area covered by it within a period of maximum three years, covering per year at least 25 % of the eligible hectares recorded in the identification system for agricultural parcels.

[F5The third and fourth subparagraphs of paragraph 2 shall apply mutatis mutandis .]

5.[F5Paragraphs 2, 3 and 4 shall only apply if the general conditions for reducing the minimum level of on-the-spot checks laid down in Article 41 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 908/2014 are fulfilled.] Where any of those conditions or the conditions laid down in paragraphs 2 or 3 of this Article are no longer met, [F14Member States] [F14the relevant authority] shall immediately revoke their decision to reduce the minimum level of on-the-spot checks and shall apply the minimum level of on-the-spot checks provided for in [F15Article 30(a), (b) and (f)] [F15Article 30(a) and (b)] and/or Article 32 as of the following claim year for the aid schemes or support measures concerned.
