Whereas the amounts to be paid in this respect may be greater than the advances paid for the abovementioned accounting months, and in those circumstances could not be fully paid by the deadlines agreed in the common conclusions of the Commission and the Council of 21 October 1994; whereas provision should therefore be made for a part of the amounts to be paid to be taken account of as expenditure for the month of September in the years concerned if necessary;
