Artikel 5

1. Each Contracting Party shall ensure that when a farmer ceases farming for structural or other reasons to be determined by the Contracting Party, he, the members of his family and, where appropriate, any of his paid employees, shall benefit from appropriate measures.
These measures shall include:
a. the provision of facilities to enable them to take up a new activity preferably in their own region, in particular, arrangements for vocational guidance, training and re-training;
b. the payment of temporary allowances to enable them to prepare for another activity;
c. the maintenance of acquired rights and of rights in the course of acquisition with regard to social security;
d. the payment of fair compensation or appropriate grants to a farmer who, because of his age, has difficulty in taking up another activity, provided that his ceasing farming contributes towards structural improvement.
2. Cessation of farming is not to be interpreted, for the purposes of this Article, as excluding the retention by the farmer of a limited area of land for his personal needs.
3. Each Contracting Party shall ensure that when a farmer only partially ceases farming for structural or other reasons to be determined by the Contracting Party, he, the members of his family, and, where appropriate, any of his paid employees, shall benefit from the measures mentioned in sub-paragraphs a, b and c of paragraph 1 above, suitably modified to meet needs.
