A producer organisation may apply for support for the administrative cost of setting up mutual funds and the replenishment of mutual funds, as referred to in point (d) of the first subparagraph of Article 33(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013.\n2. The support for the administrative cost of setting up mutual funds ... shall comprise both the ... financial assistance referred to in Articles 32(1)(b) and 34 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 and the contribution from the producer organisation. The total amount of that support shall not exceed 5 %, 4 % or 2 % of the contribution of the producer organisation to the mutual fund in the first, second and third year of its operation, respectively.\n3. A producer organisation may receive the support for the administrative cost of setting up mutual funds ..., only once and only within the three first years of the operation of the mutual fund. Where a producer organisation only asks for that support in the second or the third year of operation of the mutual funds, the support shall be 4 % or 2 % of the contribution of the producer organisation to the mutual fund in the second and third year of its operation, respectively.\n4. Nothing in this Regulation prevents the appropriate authority from fixing ceilings for the amounts that may be received by a producer organisation as a support related to mutual funds.",
