Article 30 Reductions and exclusions applicable in the event of non-compliance with certain approval conditions by processing undertakings and approved purchasers

Where it is found that the stock records do not satisfy the conditions referred to in Article 12, or that the link between the stock records and the accounts and the supporting documents cannot be established, notwithstanding the reductions and exclusions referred to in Article 29, a reduction of between 10 % and 30 % of the amount of aid applied for for the current marketing year shall be imposed on the processing undertaking, depending on the seriousness of the infringement.

If the same irregularities are found once again within a period of two years following the first finding, the competent authority shall withdraw approval of the processing undertaking for a minimum of one and a maximum of three marketing years.
