In particular, Italy shall verify:

1. (a)

   the eligibility of the applicant submitting the request for support;

2. (b)

   for each eligible applicant: the eligibility, the quantity and the value of the actual loss of production;

3. (c)

   that funding has not been received by any eligible applicant from any other sources to compensate the losses referred to in Article 2 of this Regulation.

For eligible applicants for which administrative checks are completed, aid can be paid without waiting for all checks being made, notably those on applicants selected for on-the-spot checks.

In cases where the eligibility of an applicant was not confirmed, the aid shall be recovered and sanctions applied.
