Article 47Regionalisation of the single payment scheme

1.In duly justified cases, Member States may decide to divide no more than 50 % of the regional ceiling established under Article 46 between all the farmers whose holdings are located in the region concerned, including those who do not hold payment entitlements.

2.Farmers shall receive payment entitlements the unit value of which shall be calculated by dividing the corresponding part of the regional ceiling established under Article 46 by the number of eligible hectares established at regional level.

The value of these payment entitlements shall be increased in cases where, prior to the application of this Article, a farmer holds payment entitlements. To this end, the regional unit value of each of the farmer's payment entitlements shall be increased by an amount calculated on the basis of the total value of the payment entitlements which the farmer held by a date to be fixed by the Member State concerned. These increases shall be calculated within the limits of the remaining part of the regional ceiling after application of paragraph 1 of this Article.

3.The number of payment entitlements per farmer shall be equal to the number of hectares the farmer declares in the year of application of the single payment scheme at regional level, as referred to in Article 46(1), in accordance with Article 34(2), except in the case of force majeure or exceptional circumstances.

4.Payment entitlements held by farmers before the division referred to in paragraphs 1 and 2 shall be cancelled and replaced by the new entitlements referred to in paragraph 3.
