Article 2

France shall take all necessary measures to recover the incompatible aid referred to in Article 1(1) and (2) from the beneficiaries.

Recovery shall be effected without delay and in accordance with the procedures of national law provided that they allow the immediate and effective execution of the decision. The aid to be recovered shall include interest from the date on which it was at the disposal of the beneficiaries until the date of its recovery. It is to be calculated at the Commission's reference rate, laid down by the method for setting the reference and discount rates.

For the purpose of the recovery of incompatible aid referred to in Article 1(1), France shall inform the Commission of the overall amount of aid granted under this measure and its financing, including the overall amount of receipts from the inter-branch contribution introduced for this purpose, and the number of hectares for which the ‘set-aside premium’ was received.
