[F1Article 30U.K.Basis of calculation

1.In no case [F2aid or] support shall be granted for a number of animals greater than that shown [F3in the aid application or] in the payment claim.

2.Animals present on the holding shall only be considered as determined if they are identified [F4in the aid application or] in the payment claim. Identified animals may be replaced without the loss of the right to payment of the [F5aid or] support, provided that the beneficiary has not yet been informed by the competent authority of a non-compliance in the [F6application or] claim or has not yet been given notice of the authority’s intention to carry out an on-the-spot check. Where a [F7relevant authority] does not make use of the possibility of having a claimless system, in accordance with the rules laid down F8... on the basis of Article 78(b) of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013, it shall ensure by any means that there are no doubts as to which animals are covered by the beneficiaries’ [F9applications or] claims.

3.Without prejudice to Article 31, if the number of animals declared in [F10an aid application or][F10a] payment claim exceeds that determined as a result of administrative checks or on-the-spot checks, the [F11aid or] support shall be calculated on the basis of the animals determined.

[F123a.Where animals have been moved to other locations than those notified in accordance with point (d) of Article 21(1) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 809/2014 during the period determined by the [F13relevant authority] referred to in that point, they shall be regarded as determined if an immediate localisation of those animals within the holding was made during the on-the-spot check.]

4.Where cases of non-compliances with regard to the system for the identification and registration for bovine animals are found, the following shall apply:

(a)

a bovine animal present on the holding which has lost one of the two ear tags shall be considered as determined provided that it is clearly and individually identified by the other elements of the system for the identification and registration of bovine animals referred to in points (b), (c) and (d) of the first paragraph of Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000;

(b)

where one single bovine animal present on the holding has lost two ear tags it shall be considered as determined provided that the animal can still be identified by the register, animal passport, database or other means laid down in Regulation (EC) No 1760/2000 and provided that the animal keeper can provide evidence that he has already taken action to remedy the situation before the announcement of the on-the-spot check;

(c)

[F14where the non-compliances found relate to incorrect entries in the register, the animal passports or the computerised database for animals, but are not of relevance for the verification of the respect of the eligibility conditions [F15other than that referred to in Article 53(4) of Delegated Regulation (EU) No 639/2014 under the aid scheme or][F15under the] support measure concerned, the animal concerned shall only be considered as not determined if such incorrect entries are found during at least two checks within a period of 24 months. In all other cases the animals concerned shall be considered as not determined after the first finding.]

The entries in, and notifications to, the system for the identification and registration of bovine animals may be adjusted at any time in cases of obvious errors recognised by the competent authority.

5.An ovine or caprine animal present on the holding which has lost one ear tag shall be considered as determined provided that the animal can still be identified by a first means of identification in accordance with Article 4(2)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 21/2004 and provided that all other requirements of the system for the identification and registration of ovine and caprine animals are fulfilled.]
