Article 21
Notifications related to advances
Where advances are granted in accordance with Article 49 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1149, Member States shall include in the current annual accounts of the paying agencies referred to in Article 7(3)(a) of Regulation (EU) No 1306/2013 information related to the use of the advances within the deadline laid down in that Article.

the eligibility of the applicant;
the eligibility criteria, commitments and other obligations of the operation for which an application for support is submitted;
the eligibility of the costs of the operation and compliance with the category of costs or calculation method to be used where support is paid on the basis of standard scales of unit costs or of supporting documents to be submitted by the beneficiary, as well as, where applicable, contributions in kind, personnel and administrative costs referred to in Articles 45, 46 and 47 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1149 respectively;

Article 32
Control rate and sampling of on-the-spot checks
As regards the measures referred to in Articles 45, 48, 49 and 52 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 respectively, a sample based control after the implementation of the operations is allowed. The sample size shall be at least 5 % of the applications, selected in accordance with Article 34 of this Regulation.

Content of the on-the-spot checks
Article 34
Selection of the control sample
Control samples for on-the-spot checks allowed under this Chapter shall be selected every year by the competent authority on the basis of a risk analysis and of representativeness of the applications for support submitted.

have access to vineyards, wine-making and storage installations, installations for processing wine-sector products and vehicles for transporting those products;
have access to the commercial premises or warehouses and vehicles of anyone holding with a view to sale, marketing or transporting wine-sector products or products which may be intended for use in the wine sector;
may take samples of wine-sector products, substances or products which may be used for the preparation of such products and products held with a view to sale, marketing or transport;

The requested body shall provide all such information as may enable the requesting body to carry out its duties.
In agreement with the requested body, the requesting body may designate officials:
either to obtain, on the premises of the administrative authorities coming under the Member State in which the requested body is established, information or copies of documents relating to the application of the rules in the wine sector or to control activities;
or to be present during operations requested under paragraph 2, after advising the requested body in good time before the start of those operations.
The copies referred to in point (a) of the first subparagraph may be made only with the agreement of the requested body.
The officials of the requesting body shall:
produce a written order indicating their identity and official position;
be accorded, without prejudice to the limits imposed by the Member State of the requested body on its own officials in carrying out the controls in question:
the rights of access provided for in points (a), (b) and (d) of Article 37;

Natural or legal persons and groups of such persons whose professional activities may be the subject of the checks referred to in this Chapter shall not obstruct such checks and shall be required to facilitate them at all times.
Article 40
Recovery of undue payments
SECTION 2
Control of specific measures
Article 41
Checks related to information and promotion operations
Member States may establish lower thresholds where there is evidence that such control method does not increase the risk for the Union funds.
The certificate shall be produced by an approved external auditor and shall provide adequate evidence on the eligibility and reality of the costs proposed, against the following criteria:
they are actually incurred by the beneficiary or by the organising body to which the beneficiary has entrusted the implementation of the information or promotion operation or parts of it;
they correspond to the costs considered as eligible by the competent authority following the administrative checks on the initial application for support;
they are necessary for the implementation of the operation as approved by the competent authority;
they are identifiable and verifiable, for example being recorded in the accounting records of the beneficiary or of the organising body and determined according to the applicable accounting standards of the Member State where the beneficiary or the organising body is established;
they comply with the requirements of the applicable tax and social legislation;
they are reasonable, justified, and comply with the principle of sound financial management, in particular regarding economy and efficiency.
Where beneficiaries produce a certificate on the financial statement, administrative checks may be carried out on that certificate. However, where the administrative review of the certificate on the financial statement does not provide adequate evidence on the eligibility and reality of the costs and the respect of the criteria listed in paragraph 1, Member States shall request any additional information deemed necessary and carry out further checks if necessary.
On-the-spot checks shall aim at the verification of the reality and eligibility of the expenditure and shall consist in the examination of the submitted invoices and supporting documents against the accounting registers and, where relevant, other supporting documents.
During the on-the-spot checks, the inspectors may verify a sample covering at least 30 % of the amount of support claimed and at least 5 % of all invoices or other supporting documents submitted or covered by a certificate on the financial statement produced until the time when the on-the-spot check is carried out.
Article 42
Checks related to operations for the restructuring and conversion of vineyards
Member States shall lay down rules on the procedures for monitoring the implementation of each action within the financial year and the area stated in the application for support in application of Article 13 of Delegated Regulation (EU) 2016/1149.
The verification before the operations shall also cover the verification of the existence of the vineyard concerned, the area planted determined in accordance with Article 44 of this Regulation and the exclusion of the normal renewal of vineyards as provided for in the second subparagraph of Article 46(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013.
The verification referred to in the second subparagraph shall be carried out by an on-the-spot check. However, if the Member State disposes of a graphical tool or an equivalent instrument that allows measurement of the area planted in accordance with Article 44 of this Regulation in the computerised vineyard register, and reliable updated information about the planted grape wine varieties, the verification may be carried out by administrative checks and, consequently, the obligation to carry out an on-the-spot check before the execution of the operations may be limited to 5 % of the applications, selected in accordance with Article 34 of this Regulation, in order to confirm the reliability of the administrative control system.
Should such an on-the-spot check reveal significant irregularities or discrepancies in a region or part of a region, the competent authority shall increase the number of on-the-spot checks appropriately during the year concerned.
Article 43
Checks related to green harvesting operations

In this context, the term ‘irregularity’ is intended to include any finding, anomaly or divergences leading to a change in the amount paid, or which would have been paid before the application of penalties
(2)
— If the administrative check detects an irregularity, and the same support claim is also the subject of an OTSC which finds no further irregularity, the irregularity must be attributed to the administrative check. — If an administrative check detects a suspected irregularity, and an OTSC is then scheduled in order to investigate further, and the OTSC confirms the suspected irregularity, it must be attributed to the administrative check. — If an administrative check detects an irregularity, and an OTSC on the same support claim finds an additional irregularity, the two irregularities must be counted separately. |
