Finland 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.

Finland shall pay the aid annually to the beneficiaries, based on actual production factors or units of production referred to in Article 1(3). Advances on the aid may be paid on the basis of the initial estimates for a given year.

For cow's milk the aid may be paid in monthly instalments based on actual production figures.

An overrun of the maximum annual number of production factors eligible for aid, as set out in Annex II, shall be taken into account as a corresponding reduction in the number of production factors eligible for aid in the year following the overrun.

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 amounts are due to the beneficiary.
