CHAPTER IIU.K.Administrative checks within the integrated system
Article 28U.K.Administrative checks
1.The administrative checks referred to in Article 74 of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013, including cross-checks, shall permit the detection of non-compliances, in particular the automated detection using computerised means. The checks shall cover all elements that are possible and appropriate to control by means of administrative checks. They shall ensure that:
(a)
the eligibility criteria, commitments and other obligations for the aid scheme or support measure are fulfilled;
(b)
there is no double financing through other F1... schemes;
(c)
the aid application or payment claim is complete and submitted within the relevant time-limit and, where applicable, that supporting documents have been submitted and that they prove eligibility;
(d)
there is compliance with long-term commitments, where appropriate.
2.In respect of [F2animal aid schemes and] animal-related support measures, [F3a relevant authority] may, where appropriate, make use of evidence received from other services, bodies or organisations to verify the compliance with the eligibility criteria, commitments and other obligations, provided that the service, body or organisation in question is operating to a standard sufficient to control such compliance.

Article 29U.K.Cross-checks
1.Where appropriate, the administrative checks shall include cross-checks:
(a)
on declared payment entitlements and on declared agricultural parcels, respectively, in order to avoid multiple granting of the same aid or support in respect of the same calendar or claim year and to prevent any undue accumulation of aid granted under area-related aid schemes listed in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 [F4and Annex VI to Council Regulation (EC) No 73/2009(1),] and area-related support measures as defined in point (21) of the second subparagraph of Article 2 of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 640/2014;

(d)
[F7between the payment entitlements and the area determined in order to verify that the entitlements are accompanied by at least an equal number of eligible hectares as defined in Article 32(2) to [F8(6)][F8(4)] of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013;]

F11. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
For the purposes of point (c) of the first subparagraph, where the integrated system provides for geo-spatial aid application forms, the cross-checks shall be carried out as spatial intersection of the digitised area declared with the identification system of agricultural parcels. In addition, cross-checks shall be carried out to prevent double claiming of the same area.
[F12Data from applications or concerning applicants found not to be admissible or not eligible for payment as referred to in Article 34(1) shall be used for the purposes of points [F13(a), (c) and (e)] [F13(a) and (c)] of the first subparagraph of this paragraph.]
2.Indications of non-compliance resulting from cross-checks shall be followed-up by any other appropriate administrative procedure, and where necessary, by an on-the-spot check.
3.Where a reference parcel is subject to [F14an] [F14a] [F15aid application and/or] payment claim by two or more beneficiaries [F16under the same aid scheme or] under the same support measure and where the agricultural parcels declared are spatially overlapping or where the overall area declared exceeds the maximum eligible area determined in accordance with points (a) and (b) of Article 5(2) of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 640/2014, and the difference falls within the measurement tolerance defined in accordance with Article 38 of this Regulation in respect of that reference parcel, [F17a relevant authority] may provide for a proportional reduction of the areas concerned, unless a beneficiary demonstrates that any of the other beneficiaries concerned over-declared his areas to the detriment of the former.
