  "text": "1. The Member States shall introduce inspection arrangements for on-the-spot verification of the operations conferring entitlement to the premium and compliance with the subquota laid down for each starch-producing undertaking. In order to carry out such checks, inspectors shall have access to the stock records and accounts of starch-producing undertakings and to manufacturing and storage premises.\nDuring each processing period, inspection shall cover the entire processing of at least 10 % of the potatoes supplied to the starch-producing undertaking.\n2. Member States shall inform each starch-producing undertaking, as appropriate, of the amounts of starch by which it has exceeded its subquota.\n3. Should the competent body establish that the requirement specified in Article 10(1)(b) has not been respected by the starch-producing undertaking, that undertaking shall, in the absence of force majeure, lose entitlement to premiums, in whole or in part, as follows:\n(a) if the requirement has not been observed in respect of a quantity of starch less than 20 % of the total quantity of starch produced by the undertaking, the premium granted shall be reduced by five times the percentage in question;\n(b) if the percentage in question is 20 or more, no premium shall be granted.\n4. If contravention of the prohibition contained in Article 3(5) is established, the premium paid for the subquota shall be reduced as follows:\n(a) if the check shows a quantity of starch equivalent accepted by the undertaking of less than 10 % of its subquota, the total premiums to be paid to the undertaking for the marketing year in question shall be reduced by 10 times the percentage recorded;\n(b) if the quantity not covered by production contracts is greater than the amount specified in point (a), no premium shall be granted for the marketing year in question; furthermore, no premium shall be paid to the undertaking for the following marketing year.\n5. If, contrary to the second subparagraph of Article 5(3), the starch that can be manufactured from consignments accepted with a starch content below 13 %:\n(a) exceeds 1 % of the starch-producing undertaking’s subquota, no premium shall be granted for the excess quantity; furthermore, the premium granted for the subquota shall be reduced by ten times the excess percentage recorded;\n(b) exceeds 11 % of the starch-producing undertaking’s subquota; no premium shall be granted for the marketing year in question; furthermore, the starch-producing undertaking shall be ineligible for the premium for the following marketing year.\n6. Inspections undertaken pursuant to this Article shall be without prejudice to any further verification by the competent authorities.",
