CONTROL SYSTEM AND ADMINISTRATIVE PENALTIES IN RELATION TO CROSS COMPLIANCE
CHAPTER III

Calculation and application of administrative penalties

General principles
Article 73
1.
Where more than one paying agency is responsible for the management of the
different schemes listed in Annex I to Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013, of the measures referred to in Article 21(1)(a) and (b) and Articles 28 to 31, 33 and 34 of Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013 and of payments related to the support schemes in the wine sector referred to in Articles 46 and 47 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013,
the relevant authority
measures referred to in Article 21(1)(a) and (b) and Articles 28 to 31, 33 and 34 of Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013, the relevant authority
shall ensure that determined non-compliances and, where applicable, any corresponding administrative penalties are brought to the attention of all paying agencies involved in those payments. This includes cases where the non-compliance with eligibility criteria also constitutes non-compliance with the rules on cross-compliance and vice versa.
The relevant authority
shall ensure, when applicable, that one rate of reduction is applied.
2.
Where more than one case of non-compliance with regard to various acts or standards of the same area of cross-compliance have been determined, those cases shall, for the purpose of fixing the reduction provided for in Articles 39(1) and 40 of Delegated Regulation (EC) No 640/2014, be considered as one non-compliance.
3.
A non-compliance with a standard which also constitutes a non-compliance with a requirement shall be considered to be one non-compliance. For the purpose of the calculation of reductions, the non-compliance shall be considered as part of the area of the requirement.
4.
The administrative penalty shall be applied to the total amount of the payments referred to in Article 92 of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 granted or to be granted to that beneficiary:
1. following
aid applications or
payments claims he has submitted or will submit in the course of the year of the finding;
and/or
2. in respect of applications for support schemes in the wine sector under Articles 46 and 47 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013.
As regards point (b) of the first subparagraph, the relevant amount shall be divided by 3 for restructuring and conversion.
5.
In respect of a group of persons as referred to in Articles 28 and 29 of Regulation (EU) No 1305/2013, the percentage of reduction shall be calculated in accordance with Chapter III of this Title and Chapter II of Title IV of Delegated Regulation (EC) No 640/2014. In that case
the relevant authority
may, for the sake of proportionality, apply that percentage of reduction to the part of the subsidy allocated to the non-compliant member of the group.
