If, after its initial share has been used up, 70 % or more of the second share drawn by a Member State has been used up, that Member State shall, in accordance with the conditions imposed by paragraph 1, draw a third share equal to 7,5 % of its initial share, rounded up where necessary to the next unit.  3.

It shall inform the Member States, not later than 20 October 1985, of the amount still in reserve after amounts have been returned thereto pursuant to Article 4.  It shall ensure that the drawing which uses up the reserve is limited to the balance available and to this end shall specify the amount thereof to the Member State making the last drawing.  Article 6  1. Member States shall take all measures necessary to ensure that supplementary shares drawn pursuant to Article 2 are opened in such a way that exports may be charged without interruption against their accumulated shares in the Community tariff quota.  2. Member States shall ensure that exporters of the said goods established in their territory have free access to the shares allocated to them.  3. Member States shall charge exports of the said goods against their shares as and when such goods are presented to the customs authorities under cover of export authorizations or customs exports documents.  4.
