Article 2 Statements of planned or estimated production for each month must reach the Commission by, at the latest, the twenty-fifth of the previous month.

Article 3 Statements of actual production for each month must reach the Commission by, at the latest, the fifth of the following month. The first statement, covering production during June 1975, shall be sent in by, at the latest, 5 July 1975.
