55First, it appears that under Article 13(4) of Regulation No 97/95 the total amount of premiums to be paid to a starch-producing undertaking is reduced by 10 times the percentage recorded, for the marketing year in question, if that undertaking has accepted a quantity of potatoes not covered by cultivation contracts of less than 10% of its sub-quota. No premium at all is to be paid, for the current marketing year or for the following marketing year, if the infringement relates to more than 10% of the sub-quota granted to that undertaking. In so doing, that provision may be considered to be introducing an effective and dissuasive penalty suitable for the purpose of achieving the desired objectives.
