Monitoring of the respect of the maximum amounts
Article 9
On the basis of the notifications received in accordance with Article 8, the Commission shall satisfy itself that the Union financial assistance arising from those notifications will not exceed one or more of the amounts established in Article 2. Where the Commission determines, on the basis of those notifications, that the Union financial assistance to be granted as a result of those notifications will exceed one or more of the amounts established in Article 2, it shall immediately inform all Member States that it will receive no further notifications relating to all products or further notifications relating to the products for which the allocated amount has been exceeded, as the case may be. Where a notification has not been received by the Commission before it informs the Member States of its determination in accordance with the second paragraph, no Union financial assistance shall be granted for the withdrawal, non-harvesting or green harvesting operations concerned.
