Note to column 1*This refers to land which would be set aside under Article 2 and be subject to rotation under Article 7 of Council Regulation No. 1765/92 establishing a support system for producers of certain arable crops (OJ No. L 181, 1.7.92, p.12).
Notes to column 3This indicates the figure for animals (irrespective of age) which would be kept for 12 months. In the case of animals which would be kept for less than 12 months a pro-rata adjustment of this figure is to be made.
(1) Deduct £66 from this figure in the case of animals for which the net annual income does not include a sum in respect of the premium for maintaining suckler cows (suckler cow premium) provided for in Article 4d of Council Regulation No. 805/68 on the common organisation of the market in beef and veal (O.J. No. L 148, 28.6.68, p.24, O.J. Special Edition 1968 Vol. I p.187, as amended, in so far as is relevant to this Order, by Council Regulation No. 2066/92, O.J. No. L 215, 30.7.92, p.49). Add £28 to the figure in column 3 in the case of animals for which the net annual income includes a sum in respect of the additional amount (extensification premium) provided for in Article 4h of Council Regulation No. 805/68.
(2) This is the figure for animals which would be kept for 12 months. Deduct £39 in the case of animals which would be kept for that period and for which the net annual income does not include a sum in respect of the special premium for holding male bovine animals (beef special premium) provided for in Article 4b of Council Regulation No. 805/68. Add £20 to the figure in column 3 in the case of animals which would be kept for that period and for which the net annual income includes a sum in respect of extensification premium. In the case of animals which would be kept for less than 12 months and for which the net annual income does not include a sum in respect of beef special premium, the net annual income is to be calculated by deducting £39 from the figure in column 3 and then making a pro rata adjustment of the resulting figure. In the case of animals which would be kept for less than 12 months and for which the net annual income includes a sum in respect of beef special premium, the net annual income is to be calculated by first deducting £39 from the figure in column 3, then making a pro rata adjustment of the resulting figure, then adding to that figure the sum of £39 and (where the net annual income includes a sum in respect of extensification premium) the sum of £20.
(3) Deduct £26 from this figure in the case of animals for which the net annual income does not include a sum in respect of the premium for offsetting income loss sustained by sheep meat producers (sheep annual premium) provided for in Article 5 of Council Regulation No. 3013/89 on the common organisation of the market in sheepmeat and goatmeat, (O.J. No. L 289, 7.10.89, p.1, as amended, in so far as is relevant to this Order, by Council Regulation No. 2069/92, OJ No. L 215, 30.7.92, p.59). Deduct £13 from the figure in column 3 in the case of animals for which the net annual income includes a sum in respect of that premium reduced by 50% by virtue of Article 5 of Council Regulation No. 3013/89.
(4) Deduct £21 from this figure in the case of animals for which the net annual income does not include a sum in respect of sheep annual premium. Deduct £11 from the figure in column 3 in the case of animals for which the net annual income includes a sum in respect of that premium reduced by 50% by virtue of Article 5 of Council Regulation No. 3013/89.
(5) Deduct £139 from this figure in the case of land for which the net annual income does not include a sum in respect of the compensatory payment for which producers of arable crops may apply (area payment) provided for in Article 2 of Council Regulation No. 1765/92.
(6) Deduct £365 from this figure in the case of land for which the net annual income does not include a sum in respect of area payment.
(7) Deduct £139 from this figure in the case of land for which the net annual income does not include a sum in respect of area payment.
(8) Deduct £445 from this figure in the case of land for which the net annual income does not include a sum in respect of area payment.
(9) Deduct £365 from this figure in the case of land for which the net annual income does not include a sum in respect of area payment.
(10) Deduct £140 from this figure in the case of land for which the net annual income does not include a sum in respect of area payment.
