Sweden shall lay down, within the limits provided for in this Decision, the conditions for granting aid to the various categories of beneficiaries. Such conditions shall include the eligibility and selection criteria applied and ensure the equal treatment of beneficiaries.

The aid shall be paid to the beneficiaries based on actual production factors or, as regards the production of cow's milk, amount of actual production, referred to in Article 1(4).

The aid shall be paid annually, except for cow's milk, transport aid for cow's milk, laying hens and pigs for slaughter in regard to which the aid may be paid in monthly instalments.

An overrun of the maximum yearly number of production factors or amounts eligible for aid, as set out in Annex II, shall be taken into account as a corresponding reduction in the number of production factors in the year following the overrun where the aid is paid in annual instalments or in the last month of the year where the aid is paid monthly.

Sweden shall take appropriate measures to prevent the overrun referred to in paragraph 4 where such an overrun appears likely, based on official or officially verified statistical projections.

An overpayment or undue payment to a beneficiary shall be recovered by deducting the corresponding amounts from the aid paid to the beneficiary the following year or be otherwise recovered in that year, where no aid is due to the beneficiary. The undue amounts shall be recovered by 1 June of the following year.
