Submission of applications
Aid applications for a calendar year shall be submitted to the office designated by the competent authorities of the Member State in accordance with the specimens drawn up by the latter and within the periods they have laid down. Those periods shall be fixed so as to allow time for the necessary on-the-spot checks and shall not run beyond 28 February of the following calendar year.
Correction of manifest errors
An aid application may be rectified at any time after its submission where a manifest error is recognised by the competent authority.
Late submission of applications
Except in cases of force majeure and exceptional circumstances, submission of an aid application after the time limit laid down in accordance with Article 18 shall lead to a 1 % reduction per working day in the amounts to which the aid applicant would have been entitled if the aid application had been lodged within the time limit. If the delay amounts to more than 25 days, the application shall be considered inadmissible.
Withdrawal of aid applications
1. An aid application may be totally or partially withdrawn at any time. However, where the competent authority has already informed the aid applicant of irregularities in the aid application or has given notice to the applicant of its intention to carry out an on-the-spot check and this check reveals irregularities, withdrawal shall not be authorised in respect of the parts of the aid application affected by those irregularities. 2. Withdrawal under paragraph 1 shall return the claimant to the situation prior to submitting an aid application or part of the aid application in question.
