Whereas it is possible to introduce in stages the necessary increases in the amounts ; whereas, as an initial step, the amounts referred to in Article 9 (2) and Article 11 (1) of Directive 72/159/EEC urgently need to be increased;
Whereas it seems appropriate that Member States, in which the amount of aid in terms of national currency has already increased considerably as a result of monetary developments since the introduction of the system of incentives to encourage the keeping of accounts referred to in Article 11 (1) of Directive 72/159/EEC, should be authorized to fix temporarily the amount of aid at a level between the present level and the level fixed by this Directive,

"A Member State, in which the amount of aid expressed in national currency has considerably increased since the introduction of the said system, may be authorized in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 18 to fix the amount of aid temporarily at a level between 473 units of account and 600 units of account."

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 3072/95 of 22 December 1995 on the common organization of the market in rice (1), and in particular Article 8 (d) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 613/97 (2) requires that, in order to be eligible for compensatory payment, sowing must be completed by 31 May except in Portugal and Guyana where the deadlines are later;
