(4) The mechanism of the financial discipline, together with the modulation, was introduced with the 2003 CAP reform. BothThe instruments provided for a linear reduction of the amount of direct payments to be granted to farmers. Taking into account the implications of the unequal distribution of direct payments between small and large beneficiaries, modulation hashe financial discipline should been applied to amounts in excess of EUR 5000 in order to achieve a more balanced distribution of payments. In respect of calendar year 2013, the adjustment of direct payments referred to in Article 10(a) of Regulation (EC) No 73/2009 continues to provide for the same exemption as the modulation. The financial discipline should be applied in a similar way to also contribute to achieving the objective of a more balanced distribution of payments;in a way that will ensure equal treatment of all farmers, therefore, it is appropriate to provide for the application of the adjustment rate only for amounts in excess of EUR 5000to all amounts.
