Article 4
1. France is authorised to grant to the French coal industry, for 2001, aid for the reduction of activity, in addition to that authorised by Decision 2001/678/ECSC, totalling EUR 1493727. The balance of the amount of aid on which the Commission had to take a Decision in accordance with Article 1(a) of that Decision, namely EUR 30764, therefore cannot be paid. 2. If France paid the amount of EUR 30764 referred to in paragraph 1 to the Charbonnages de France group before a Commission Decision was taken, it shall be recovered in accordance with Article 1(3).
