Article 13

1. Notwithstanding Articles 5, 6, 7, 10 and 19 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2328/91 of 15 July 1991 on improving the efficiency of agricultural structures (15), investment aid for agricultural holdings on the Aegean islands in question shall be granted on the following conditions: notwithstanding Article 5 (1) (a), the investment aid scheme provided for in Articles 5 to 9 of the abovementioned Regulation may be applied on the Aegean islands in question to farmers who, while they do not practise farming as their main occupation, derive at least 25 % of their total income from farming carried out on the holding and whose holding does not require the equivalent of more than one MWU, provided that the envisaged investments do not exceed ECU 25 000. With the exception of local specialities all the food production must be restricted to local consumption; the authorization concerning the keeping of simplified accounts provided for in Article 5 (1) (d) shall apply; pig production on family holdings shall not be subject to the conditions laid down in Article 6 (4); however, the condition referred to in the last subparagraph of that paragraph that, upon completion of the plan, at least the equivalent of 35 % of the quantity of feed consumed by pigs can be produced on the holding shall be replaced by a figure of 10 %; with regard to eggs and poultry production, the prohibition referred to in Article 6 (6) shall not apply to family farms; notwithstanding Article 7 (2) (a) and (b), the maximum value of the investment aid shall be 55 % whether the investment is in fixed assets or not. The provisions in (c), (d) and (e) above shall apply only insofar as livestock production is undertaken in a manner compatible with animal welfare and environmental protection requirements and provided that production is for the domestic market on the islands in question. 2. With regard to the installation of young farmers, the condition provided for in the last indent of Article 10 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2328/91 shall not apply. 3. Notwithstanding Article 19 (1) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 2328/91, in the case of cattle farming, the amount of the compensatory allowance referred to in Article 17 of that Regulation may be raised to ECU 180,5 per LU subject to a maximum amount of ECU 3 540 per holding for 1993, to be updated by the procedure laid down in Article 29 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88 (16). 4. Notwithstanding Article 19 (1) (b) (iii), the compensatory allowance referred to in Article 17 of Regulation (EEC) No 2328/91 may be granted on the islands for all crops, provided that they are cultivated in a manner compatible with environmental protection requirements and subject to a maximum amount of ECU 3 540 per holding for 1993, to be updated by the procedure laid down in Article 29 of Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88. In addition, cows whose milk is intended for the domestic market of the region may be taken into consideration for the calculation of the compensatory allowance in all areas of the region specified in Article 3 (4) and (5) of Council Directive 75/268/EEC of 28 April 1975 on mountain and hill farming in certain less-favoured areas (17), up to a maximum of 20 livestock units. 5. The Commission, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 29 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 4253/88: shall adopt the conditions for applying this Article; may decide, for the smaller islands on a reasoned request by the competent authorities, to derogate from the second indent of Article 17 (3) of that Regulation with a view to authorizing an increase in the rate of Community funding above the limit provided for investments in certain sectors of the processing and marketing of agricultural products intended to improve the standard of living of the inhabitants.
