Where a producer organisation has been suspended in accordance with Article 116(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1580/2007 or Article 114(2) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011, its members shall be deemed to be a producer non-members for the purpose of this Regulation. Support for green harvesting shall cover only the products which are physically on the fields and which are effectively green harvested. 2 In case of withdrawals, producer non-members shall sign a contract with a recognised producer organisation. The Union support shall be paid to such producers by the producer organisation with which they signed such a contract. The second and the fifth subparagraphs of Article 4(5) and Article 4(6) shall apply mutatis mutandis. 3 The amounts of support to be granted pursuant to paragraph 1 in the situation referred to in paragraph 2 shall be the amounts set out in Part B of Annex I, less the amounts that correspond to the real costs incurred by the producer organisation for withdrawing the respective products, which the producer organisation shall retain. Evidence of those costs shall be provided by means of invoices. Producer organisations shall accept all reasonable requests from producers that are not a member of a producer organisation for the purposes of this Regulation. 4 For duly justified reasons, such as the limited degree of organisation of the producers in the Member State concerned, and in a non-discriminatory way, Member States may authorise that a producer non-member makes a notification to the competent authority of the Member State, instead of signing the contract referred to in paragraph 2. For such notification, Article 79 of Regulation (EC) No 1580/2007 or Article 78 of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011 shall apply mutatis mutandis. In those cases, the competent authority of the Member State shall pay the Union support directly to the producer, in accordance with its own legislation. The amounts of the support shall be the amounts set out in Part B of Annex I. 5 In case of non-harvesting and green harvesting operations, producer non-members shall make the appropriate notification to the competent authority of the Member State in accordance with the detailed provisions adopted by the Member State pursuant to Article 86(1)(a) of Regulation (EC) No 1580/2007 or to Article 85(1)(a) of Implementing Regulation (EU) No 543/2011. The amounts of Union support for non-harvesting and green harvesting operations shall be the amounts set pursuant to the fourth subparagraph of Article 4(5).
