this supplement is to be granted up to a limit of 12 000
male bovines per year within the regional ceiling set in
Article 4(1) and (4) of Regulation (EC) No 1254/1999.

To avoid complicating the administrative management,
provision should be made for a single application to be
submitted for the supplementary aid under Regulation
(EEC) No 2019/93 and the premiums under Regulation
(EC) No 1254/1999.
