Article 63Integration of coupled support into the single payment scheme

1.As from 2010, Member States shall integrate the support available under the coupled support schemes referred to in Annex XI into the single payment scheme in accordance with the rules laid down in Articles 64, 65, 66 and 67.

2.By way of derogation from paragraph 1:

(a)the Member States having introduced the single payment scheme in accordance with Chapters 1 to 4 of Title III of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 may decide to use all or part of the support referred to in paragraph 1 to establish payment entitlements or to increase the value of the payment entitlements on the basis of the type of agricultural activities exercised by farmers during one or more years in the period 2005 to 2008 and in accordance with objective and non-discriminatory criteria such as the agricultural potential or environmental criteria;

(b)the Member States having introduced the single payment scheme in accordance with Section 1 of Chapter 5 or Chapter 6 of Title III of Regulation (EC) No 1782/2003 or making use of the option provided for in Article 47 of this Regulation may decide to use all or part of the support referred to in paragraph 1 to increase the value of all payment entitlements by a supplementary amount corresponding to the increase of the regional ceiling divided by the total number of payment entitlements.

Member States may also differentiate the increase in value of the payment entitlements by taking into account the criteria referred to in Article 64(1) of this Regulation or on the basis of the type of agricultural activities exercised by farmers during one or more years in the period 2005 to 2008 and in accordance with objective and non-discriminatory criteria such as the agricultural potential or environmental criteria.

3.Where a Member State makes use of the derogation provided for in paragraph 2(a), it shall take adequate measures to ensure that farmers having benefited from the support referred to in paragraph 1 are not excluded from the single payment scheme. In particular, it shall make sure that the overall support the farmer will receive after the integration of the coupled support schemes referred to paragraph 1 into the single payment scheme does not fall below 75 % of the average annual support the farmer received under all the direct payments during the relevant reference periods referred to in Articles 64, 65 and 66.
