COMMISSION DECISION of 6 November 1992 on applications for  part-financing of national aid schemes in the form of reimbursements and advances pursuant to  Council Regulation (EEC) N° 2328/91 (92/522/EEC)THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) N° 2328/91 of 15 July 1991 on improving the efficiency of  agricultural structures (1), and in particular Articles 33 (3) and 36 thereof, Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) N° 4253/88 of 19 December 1988 laying down provisions for  implementing Regulation (EEC) N° 2052/88 as regards coordination of the activities of the different  Structural Funds between themselves and with the operations of the European Investment Bank and the  other existing financial instruments (2), and in particular Article 21 (6) thereof, Whereas Regulation (EEC) N° 2328/91 has replaced Council Regulation (EEC) N° 797/85 (3); Whereas this replacement necessitates numerous amendments to Commission Decision 91/264/EEC of 17  April 1991 on applications for part-financing of national aid schemes in the form of reimbursements  and advances pursuant to Council Regulation (EEC) N° 797/85 (4); so it is appropriate in the  interest of clarity to replace that Decision; Whereas, in order to standardize payment applications, provision should be made for making a  computerized system available to the competent authorities; Whereas the measures provided for in this Decision are in accordance with the opinion of the  Committee on Agricultural Structures and Rural Development, HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION: Article 11. The applications for reimbursement as referred to in Article 33  (1) of Regulation (EEC) N° 2328/91 must conform to the tables set out in Annexes 1 to 14. 2. The applications for advances referred to in Article 21 (6) of Regulation (EEC) N° 4253/88 and  relating to the measures intended to support farm incomes pursuant to Regulation (EEC) N° 2328/91  shall conform to the table set out in Annex 15.1. 3. Member States shall forward to the Commission, together with their first application for  reimbursement, the text of the national rules of application and administrative instructions as  well as the forms and all other documents relating to the administrative implementation of the  measure. National reports concerning checks carried out under Article 36 of Regulation (EEC) N°  2328/91 shall be sent to the Commission on request or, where appropriate, submitted at the time of  on-the-spot checks by Commission representatives. Article 21. On the basis of the information contained in the applications for reimbursement, the  Commission shall decide to repay aid up to the amount claimed provided that the application is  complete and submitted in due form within the time limit prescribed. Advances shall be paid as  quickly as possible under conditions the same as those governing applications for reimbursement. However, the amount claimed may be paid only if the application raises no immediate objections as  to the accuracy of the information which it contains and the conformity of the expenditure made or  planned with the provisions in force. If this condition is not fulfilled, the amount which may be  paid shall be reduced accordingly pursuant to Article 24 of Regulation (EEC) N° 4253/88. 2. Where a thorough examination of the application for reimbursement reveals that the amount paid  in accordance with paragraph 1 is not that actually due, regularization shall take place as soon as  possible, that is to say, normally under the next reimbursement procedure. Where the amount to be  paid under the next reimbursement procedure is less than that part of the previous reimbursement  which was paid in excess or where the Member State concerned submits no applications for  reimbursement in respect of the financial year concerned, it shall repay the amount due within a  period to be fixed by the Commission. Article 3Decision 91/264/EEC is hereby repealed. Article 4A computerized system should generally be used to send the information referred to in  the Annexes. The Commission may decide upon the software required and make it available to the  competent authorities. The Commission may also take responsibility for providing the equipment and  for training a certain number of people who are to work with this equipment.

Does the farmer draw any other old-age-related benefit? . In the affirmative, how much? . (*) Explanatory noteThe amount eligible per holding is to be calculated as follows: 1. For holdings with more than 120 units, the amount eligible is the smaller of the following two  amounts: - C2, - (60 × M) + (60 × M/2) = 90 M, 2. For holdings with C1 units, with 60 <  C1 <  120, the amount eligible is the smaller of the  following two amounts: - C2, - (60 × M) + [(C1 60) × M/2] = (C1+60) × (M/2). The parameter M represents the maximum unit amount fixed in Article 19 (1) of the Regulation; where  the natural handicaps are particularly serious, it is the increased amount. Where a holding has  units which qualify for the premium in both areas with particularly serious handicaps and other  areas, all the units in areas with serious handicaps should be taken into account first.
