DEDUCTIONS FROM
ENTITLEMENTS
The value of your entitlements may be subject to certain
reductions. These are:
• a percentage reduction from each entitlement if the
sum of individual entitlements exceeds the financial
ceiling for Scotland;
• a reduction of up to 3% from each entitlement to
establish a National Reserve - the exact percentage
reduction has not yet been decided;
• a reduction for modulation - the intention is to
increase the total rate (
EU and national)
to at least 10% by the end of 2007;
• a reduction of up to 10% from the component of
entitlements derived from beef subsidies during the
reference period to finance the national envelope for the
beef sector.
