Commission Implementing Regulation (EU) No 180/2014 Article 21

Withdrawal of aid applications

Article 21

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   An aid application may be totally or partially withdrawn at any time.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.
