Regulation 4 Additional premium
The appropriate Minister may make a grant by way of additional premium to an applicant—
who has applied for and is entitled to receive a Community premium, and
who makes an application for such additional premium in such form as the Minister may require.
The amount of such additional premium shall be determined in accordance with the Schedule to these Regulations.
An application for a Community premium may be treated as if it were also an application for an additional premium and, subject to Article 1a of the Commission Regulation (which provides for a reduction in the Community premium when the application is lodged within the period specified in that Article), such an application shall be lodged with the appropriate Minister annually within the period specified in Article 1 (1) of that Regulation.
The additional premium shall be payable subject to, and be reducible or recoverable under, the same conditions as are specified, in relation to the Community premium, in the Council Regulation and the Commission Regulation.
