That share has to be calculated on the basis of the ratio between the ceiling for the basic payment scheme for 2015 and the national ceiling for that year set out in Annex II to Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 and without taking into account the increment added by Delegated Regulation (EU) 2015/851. ---|--- (4) | For each Member State implementing the basic payment scheme provided for in Chapter 1 of Title III of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013, the annual national ceiling referred to in Article 22(1) of that Regulation for 2015 has to be set by the Commission by deducting from the annual national ceiling set out in Annex II to that Regulation the ceilings fixed in accordance with Articles 42, 47, 49, 51 and 53 of that Regulation. In accordance with Article 22(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 any increases applied by Member States pursuant to that provision are to be taken into account. ---|--- (5) | For each Member State implementing the single area payment scheme provided for in Chapter 1 of Title III of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013, the annual national ceiling referred to in Article 36(4) of that Regulation for 2015 has to be set by the Commission by deducting from the annual national ceiling set out in Annex II to that Regulation the ceilings fixed in accordance with Articles 42, 47, 49, 51 and 53 of that Regulation. ---|--- (6) | For each Member State granting the redistributive payment provided for in Chapter 2 of Title III of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013, the annual national ceiling referred to in Article 42(2) of that Regulation for 2015 has to be set by the Commission on the basis of the percentage notified by those Member States pursuant to Article 42(1) of that Regulation. ---|--- (7) | In relation to the payment for agricultural practices beneficial for the climate and the environment provided for in Chapter 3 of Title III of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 in 2015, the annual national ceilings referred to in Article 47(3) of that Regulation for 2015 have to be calculated in accordance with Article 47(1) of that Regulation and amount to 30 % of the national ceiling of the relevant Member State as set out in Annex II to that Regulation. ---|--- (8) | For Member States granting the payment for areas with natural constraints provided for in Chapter 4 of Title III of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013, the annual national ceilings referred to in Article 49(2) of that Regulation for 2015 have to be set by the Commission on the basis of the percentage notified by the relevant Member States pursuant to Article 49(1) of that Regulation. ---|--- (9) | In relation to the payment for young farmers provided for in Chapter 5 of Title III of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013, the annual national ceilings referred to in Article 51(4) of that Regulation for 2015 have to be set by the Commission on the basis of the percentage notified by Member States pursuant to Article 51(1) of that Regulation and on the basis of the maximum of 2 % laid down in the same provision. ---|--- (10) | Where the total amount of the payment for young farmers applied for in 2015 in a Member State exceeds the ceiling set pursuant to Article 51(4) of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 for that Member State, the difference has to be financed by the Member State in accordance with Article 51(2) of that Regulation whilst respecting the maximum amount laid down in Article 51(1) of that Regulation. For the sake of clarity, it is appropriate to set this maximum amount for each Member State. ---|--- (11) | For each Member State granting voluntary coupled support provided for in Chapter 1 of Title IV of Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 in 2015, the Commission has to set the annual national ceiling referred to in Article 53(7) of that Regulation for 2015 on the basis of the percentage notified by the relevant Member State pursuant to Article 54(1) of that Regulation. ---|--- (12) | Concerning the year 2015, the implementation of direct support schemes provided for in Regulation (EU) No 1307/2013 started on 1 January 2015.
