NOTES TO THE SCHEDULE
Article 2(4)
Note to column 1
(1)This refers to land which is set-aside under Article 2(5) of Council Regulation 1765/92, except where such land is used (in accordance with Article 7(4) of Council Regulation 1765/92) for the provision of materials for the manufacture within the Community of products not primarily intended for human or animal consumption.
Notes to column 3
(1)Deduct £112 from this figure in the case of animals for which the net annual income does not include a sum in respect of the premium for maintaining suckler cows (suckler cow premium) provided for in Article 4d of Council Regulation 805/68.
Add £28 to the figure in column 3 in the case of animals for which the net annual income includes a sum in respect of the lower rate of extensification premium provided for in Article 4h of Council Regulation 805/68.
Add £40 to the figure in column 3 in the case of animals for which the net annual income includes a sum in respect of the higher rate of extensification premium provided for in Article 4h of Council Regulation 805/68.
(2)This is the figure for animals which are kept for 12 months.
Deduct £90 in the case of animals which are kept for 12 months and for which the net annual income does not include a sum in respect of the special premium for holding male bovine animals (beef special premium) provided for in Article 4b of Council Regulation 805/68.
Add £28 to the figure in column 3 in the case of animals which are kept for 12 months and for which the net annual income includes a sum in respect of the lower rate of extensification premium.
Add £40 to the figure in column 3 in the case of animals which would be kept for that period and for which the net annual income includes a sum in respect of the higher rate of extensification premium.
In the case of animals which are kept for less than 12 months and for which the net annual income does not include a sum in respect of beef special premium, the net annual income is to be calculated by deducting £90 from the figure in column 3 and then making a pro rata adjustment of the resulting figure.
In the case of animals which are kept for less than 12 months and for which the net annual income includes a sum in respect of beef special premium, the net annual income is to be calculated by first deducting £90 from the figure in column 3, then making a pro rata adjustment of the resulting figure, then adding to that figure the sum of £90 and (where the net annual income includes a sum in respect of extensification premium) the sum of £28 (where the extensification premium is paid at the lower rate) or £40 (where the extensification premium is paid at the higher rate).
(3)This indicates the figure for animals (irrespective of age) which are kept for 12 months. In the case of animals which are kept for less than 12 months a pro rata adjustment of this figure is to be made.
(4)Deduct £24 from this figure in the case of animals for which the net annual income does not include a sum in respect of the premium for offsetting income loss sustained by sheep meat producers (sheep annual premium) provided for in Article 5 of Council Regulation 3013/89.
(5)Deduct £19 from this figure in the case of animals for which the net annual income does not include a sum in respect of sheep annual premium.
(6)Deduct £241 from this figure in the case of land for which the net annual income does not include a sum in respect of the compensatory payment for which producers of arable crops may apply (area payment) provided for in Article 2 of Council Regulation 1765/92.
(7)Deduct £349 from this figure in the case of land for which the net annual income does not include a sum in respect of area payment.
(8)Deduct £467 from this figure in the case of land for which the net annual income does not include a sum in respect of area payment.
