Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3887/92of 23 December 1992laying down detailed rules for applying the integrated administration and control system for certain Community aid schemesTHE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 3508/92 of 27 November 1992 establishing an integrated administration and control system for certain Community aid schemesOJ No L 355, 5. 12. 1992, p. 1. (hereinafter called "integrated system"), and in particular Article 12 thereof,Whereas the purpose of the integrated system is, first and foremost, to enable the reform of the common agricultural policy to be implemented efficiently and in particular to solve the administrative problems caused by the reform having introduced several area-linked aid schemes; whereas certain clarifications necessary for applying the concepts of agricultural parcel and forage area should be made;Whereas the agricultural holding is the reference unit for administering the abovementioned aid schemes; whereas to prevent the stabilizing effects of the reform on agricultural production from being evaded by the artificial splitting up of existing holdings or creation of holdings, Member States should be obliged to take the necessary measures to this effect, taking into account in particular the jurisprudence of the Court of Justice relating to the notion of a holding as well as the general principle of forbidding the abuse of rights;Whereas, having regard to the existing identification system, the Member States should be authorized to set up their systems for identifying areas with the aid of units other than agricultural parcels; whereas, however, this possibility should be accompanied by certain obligations in order to ensure that the identification is reliable;Whereas the compulsory content of the "area" aid application should be specified, along with the conditions on which it may be amended after the deadline for its submission; whereas provision should also be made for the set-aside declaration and the declaration concerning non-food products to be submitted with the "area" aid application; whereas farmers applying only for aid which is not linked to area should be exempted from the requirement to submit such an application and the administrative treatment of producer groups in the sheep and goat sector should be clarified; whereas, moreover, if there is to be effective monitoring each Member State should determine the minimum size of agricultural parcel which may be declared in the application;Whereas, so as to simplify the work as much as possible for farmers, in certain cases it should be possible to submit the "area" aid application together with a "livestock" aid application provided that this does not reduce the possibility of control;Whereas there should also be an across-the-board definition of the particulars to be included in "livestock" aid applications, having regard to the requirements of administering the premium schemes concerned;Whereas compliance with the provisions on Community aid must be effectively monitored; whereas to this end it is necessary to set out in detail the criteria and technical procedures for carrying out administrative and on-the-spot checks in respect of both "livestock" and "area" aid; whereas, in the light of experience with on-the-spot checks, risk analysis sould be applied when determining minimum checking rates and the factors to be taken into consideration should be specified; whereas, for monitoring purposes, there should be provision for a retention period in the case of the compensatory allowance also;Whereas the conditions for the use of remote sensing for on-the-spot checks should be laid down and provision should be made for physical checks to be required in doubtful cases; whereas, in order to encourage Member States in their efforts to develop remote sensing and its practical application for monitoring purposes, there should be provision for the Community to make a financial contribution to the cost of photo interpretation and the conditions for such contribution should be laid down; whereas this financial contribution does not affect the part-financing provided for in Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 3508/92;Whereas, in the light of experience and having regard to the principle of proportionality and the special problems linked to cases of force majeure and natural circumstances, provisions should be adopted to prevent and penalize irregularities and fraud effectively; whereas, to this end, having regard to the specific features of the "area" schemes on the one hand and the "livestock" schemes on the other, there should be sanctions graded according to the gravity of the irregularity committed, going as far as total exclusion from a scheme for the year in question and the year thereafter;Whereas provision should be made for the beneficiary to repay with interest any amount wrongly paid; whereas the amounts recovered and the interest collected must be credited to the EAGGF in accordance with the principles set out in Article 8 (2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 of 21 April 1970 on the financing of the common agricultural policyOJ No L 94, 28. 4. 1970, p. 13., as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2048/88OJ No L 185, 15. 7. 1988, p. 1.;Whereas the management of small amounts is by nature a burdensome task for the competent services of Member States the possibility not to pay amounts of aid which are smaller than a certain minimum limit and not to request reimbursement of wrongly paid amounts when the sums involved are minimal;Whereas it is necessary to create an administrative framework for the part-financing provided for in Article 10 of Regulation (EEC) No 3508/92 and to lay down the procedural rules for the payment of advances, the definitive acceptance of the expenditure declared by Member States and the redistribution of amounts which are not used by the Member States and to which they are entitled;Whereas the integrated system will not be applicable in its entirety until 1 January 1996 at the latest; whereas, without prejudice to the obligations arising from Article 8 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70, it is therefore indispensable to oblige the Member States to avoid any lack of administration or control meanwhile by adopting the necessary measures at national level; whereas Member States must inform the Commission regularly of the measures taken to implement the integrated system and the results obtained;Whereas, taking into account the date of entry into force of this Regulation it would be appropriate to exclude the premium for ewes and for goats and the compensatory allowance from the application of the integrated system during 1993;Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Fund Committee,HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
