Article 7
Withdrawal 1. A farmer may at any time declare his intention to withdraw from the simplified scheme. However, the withdrawal shall take effect from 1 January of the calendar year following the year in which he declares his intention to withdraw. The farmer may not submit a new application for the simplified scheme. 2. Where Article 15(4) applies, the farmer shall not be entitled to withdraw from the simplified scheme for the following calendar year. 3. If the farmer dies after he has submitted an application under the simplified scheme, his successors shall be entitled to the amount to which the farmer would have been entitled under the simplified scheme provided that they meet the conditions to participate in the simplified scheme. If they do not meet those conditions, they shall be entitled to the amount to which the farmer would have been entitled under the simplified scheme only for the calendar year of the farmer's death.
