The size of the annual tranche is the lesser of the following: — EUR 100 million, or — the remaining amount due in accordance with the smoothing mechanism. Any amount resulting from the activation of guarantees in years preceding year “n–1”, that has not yet been repaid in full due to the smoothing mechanism, shall be paid back before the smoothing mechanism for defaults occurring in year “n–1” or subsequent years can take effect. Such remaining amounts shall continue to be deducted from the maximum annual amount to be recovered from the general budget of the European Union under the smoothing mechanism until such time as the full amount has been paid back into the Fund. 2. The calculations based on the smoothing mechanism shall be made separately from the calculations referred to in the third subparagraph of Article 3 and in Article 4. Nevertheless, they shall together result in one annual transfer. The amounts to be paid from the general budget of the European Union under the smoothing mechanism shall be treated as net assets of the Fund for the calculation pursuant to Articles 3 and 4. 3. If, as a result of the activation of guarantees following one or more major defaults, resources in the Fund fall below 80 % of the target amount, the Commission shall inform the budgetary authority thereof. 4. If, as a result of the activation of guarantees following one or more major defaults, resources in the Fund fall below 70 % of the target amount, the Commission shall submit a report on exceptional measures that may be required to replenish the Fund.’;
