[F11. With the exception of Bulgaria and Romania, the new Member States applying the single area payment scheme shall have the possibility to grant transitional national aid in 2013.
Except in the case of Cyprus, the granting of such aid shall be subject to authorisation by the Commission, to be granted in accordance with paragraph 5.
2. The transitional national aid may be granted to farmers in sectors in respect of which complementary national direct payments and, in the case of Cyprus, State aids have been authorised in 2012 pursuant to Articles 132 and 133.
3. The conditions for granting the aid shall be identical to those authorised for the granting of payments pursuant to Articles 132 and 133 in respect of 2012.
4. The total amount of aid that may be granted to farmers in any of the sectors referred to in paragraph 2 shall be limited by a specific financial envelope per sector, which shall be equal to the difference between:
(a) the total direct support which may be granted to farmers in the relevant sector in 2012, including all payments received pursuant to Article 132; and
(b) the total amount of direct support that would be available for the same sector under the single area payment scheme in 2013.
For Cyprus, the sector specific financial envelopes are set out in Annex XVIIa.]
5. On the basis of a notification submitted, the Commission shall adopt implementing acts, without applying the procedure referred to in Article 141(2) or 141b(2), authorising the transitional national aid and:
(a) setting the financial envelope per sector;
(b) setting the maximum rate of transitional national aid where appropriate;
(c) setting the conditions for the granting thereof; and
(d) defining the applicable exchange rate to be used for the payments.
6. The new Member States may decide, on the basis of objective criteria and within the limits authorised by the Commission pursuant to paragraph 5, on the amounts of transitional national aid to be granted.]
