The regulation allows for exceptions in cases of force majeure, such as natural disasters or serious illness, and provides detailed guidelines for handling errors, late applications, false or incomplete information, and obstacles to official inspections. Further, it outlines specific sanction schemes for breaches related to ecological performance, animal welfare, organic farming, and environmental protection, and provides a structured appeals process.
