The applications which are to be checked on the spot shall be determined by the competent authority taking into account. — the number of plots and the total surface area, — the results of cross-checking the information that contained contained in the data base and the contracts, applications against the in — any changes compared with the previous year, — findings made during checks carried out in previous years. During the checks on aid applications the following shall also be verified: — actual compliance with the minimum yield; for the purposes of this check, the national authorities shall verify deliveries to processors and the quant- ities entered in the processors’ stock accounts, — actual drying of the entire quantity harvested on the plots covered by contracts; for the purposes of this check, the national authorities shall draw up an estimate of the average yield by production area and by variety or, in the case of the sultana and muscatel varieties, by category; this average yield shall be used for comparison, — compliance with the minimum quality require- ments; (d) aid for replanting to combat phylloxera. 2. The on-the-spot check shall cover all plots on the holding planted with varieties qualifying for aid and all the activities of processors associated with the varieties concerned, including those relating to imported quantities. 3. Where a plot being checked belongs to several owners, the truthfulness of the information entered in the database and in the aid applications of the joint owners shall be checked. The results of checks and the penalties applied shall be 4. entered in the database. Article 9 1. Where the information provided by individual producers or producer organisations under Article 4(2)(a) is found to be inaccurate, penalties shall be imposed as follows: L 192/26 EN Official Journal of the European Communities 24. 7. 1999 (a) in the case of area discrepancies, paragraph 4 below shall apply by analogy; the names of (b) in the case of significant discrepancies in the available infrastructure, individual producers or producer organisations shall be removed from the database for the duration of the marketing year concerned; they shall be reinstated not earlier than the following marketing year on condition that they provide evidence of having put in place the appropriate facilities and/or equipment. 2. Where the information provided by processors under Article 4(2)(b) is found to be inaccurate or commitments given under those provisions are found not to have been fulfilled, penalties shall be imposed as follows: (a) in the case of significant discrepancies in the available infrastructure, the financial penalty shall be equivalent to the amount of aid corresponding to the quantities processed during the marketing year concerned; in addi- tion, the names of the processors shall be removed from the database for the marketing year in question; they shall be reinstated not earlier than the following marketing year on condition that they provide evidence of having put in place the appropriate facilities; (b) in the case of failure to fulfil commitments, in particular concerning the quality of the finished product, including the product eliminated by sorting and/or the keeping of detailed accounts, the penalty shall be equivalent to the amount of aid corresponding to the quantities processed during the marketing year concerned. 3. Where it is found that the information contained in the contracts is inaccurate or that commitments have not been complied with, penalties shall be imposed as follows: (a) where an individual producer or producer organisation fails to comply, in particular, with the obligation to deliver laid down in the fourth indent of Article 5(1), the aid shall not be paid or, if it has been paid already, shall be recovered in accordance with Article 14 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3887/92 (1); (b) where processors have not agreed to take over the unpro- cessed dried grapes delivered under contract, a financial penalty shall be imposed equivalent to the aid amount corresponding to the areas concerned. If irregularities are found during checks on aid applica- 4. tions, penalties shall be imposed as follows: (a) where the area actually determined is found to be greater than the area for which aid is requested, the aid amount shall be calculated on the basis of the area shown in the aid application. If, on the other hand, the area actually determined during a check is found to be smaller than that for which aid is requested, the aid amount shall be calculated on the basis of the area actually determined minus, except in cases of force majeure, twice the excess established where this is greater than 3 % or 0. 2 hectares but not more than 20 % of (1) OJ L 391, 31. 12. 1992, p. 36. the area determined. Producer organisations shall reimburse the undue payment plus interest calculated in accordance with paragraph 3(a). Where the excess found exceeds 20 % of the area deter- mined, no per hectare aid shall be granted or, where aid has been paid already, it shall be recovered in accordance with Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 3887/92. However, in the case of a false declaration made deliber- ately or through serious negligence: — the producer or producer organisation shall be excluded from receiving aid for the marketing year in question, and — in the case of a deliberate false declaration, receiving aid for the following marketing year. from The above reductions, shall not be applied if, in determining the area, individual producers or producer organisations can show that they have correctly taken as a basis the informa- tion accepted by the competent authority. For the purposes of this paragraph, ‘area determined' means that for which all the prescribed conditions have been met; (b) if it is found that the minimum yield has not been complied with, the names of the individual producer or producer organisation and, where applicable, the processor involved shall be removed from the database for the dura- tion of the marketing year in question and the following marketing year; (c) if it is found that the yield obtained, while greater than the minimum yield, is nevertheless smaller than the average yield estimated by the national authority for the geograph- ical area concerned, the check shall be extended to cover quantities sold by the individual producer or producer organisation on the market in fresh grapes or for wine- making. If this check and the check on the state of the vineyard reveal that all the quantities harvested on the plots for which aid is requested have not been dried, the aid shall be reduced in proportion to the percentage of the quant- ities deflected. No aid shall be paid if the quantities deflected account for more than 30 % of those obtained. Where there is no proof of the quantities actually produced on the plots concerned, the deflected quantities shall be equal to the difference between the quantities given in the aid application and the quantities calculated by applying authorities by the geographical area and by variety. average yield established by the 5. In all cases where the aid has been paid unduly, Member States shall recover the amounts concerned in accordance with Article 14 of Regulation (EEC) No 3887/92. Where an irregularity is discovered which relates to part of the area or production of a producer or a producer organisation or to part of the production taken over and/or processed by a processor, the penalties shall be proportionate to the irregu- larity committed. They shall be at least double the amount of the aid corresponding to the quantities involved in the irregu- larity. 24. 7. 1999 EN Official Journal of the European Communities L 192/27 Article 10 The following provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 3887/92 shall apply to the checks and penalties contained in this Regulation: — the last subparagraph of Article 6(3) in the case of signifi- cant irregularities found in a region or part of a region, — the first subparagraph of Article 6(7) for determining the area of parcels, — the first subparagraph of Article 8(1) in the case of late submission of the application for registration in the data- base and/or the aid application, — Article 11 for cases of force majeure and cases where the penalties applicable are not imposed, — Article 12 as regards the report on the inspection visit; — Article 13 as regards refusal of the farmer to receive an inspection visit, — Article 14 as regards the rules for reimbursement of undue payments, — Article 15.
