However in the event that common wheat was bought in accordance with the provisions of the second subparagraph of Article 4 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1629/77, the successful tender in respect of this common wheat must not under any circumstances, be less than the price referred to in that Article and applied during the marketing year in which it was sent for sale, this price being increased monthly from September to July of the following year by an amount equal to the monthly increment fixed for the reference price.

The term 'Article 5 (1) (b)' in the second subparagraph of Article 13 (1) is replaced by 'Article 5 (1)'.  5. Article 16 is replaced by the following:  'Article 16  The successful tenderer shall pay for the cereals before they are removed and at the latest one month after the date on which the statement referred to in Article 15 is sent. The successful tenderer shall bear all risks and storage costs in respect of cereals not removed within the period of payment.  In the case of export, the price to be paid shall be that shown in the tender plus a monthly increase where the cereals are removed during the month following that in which the contract was awarded. Where the cereals are removed during the 12th month of the marketing year and the contract was awarded during the 11th month, the price to be paid shall be that shown in the tender.  If the cereals are not paid for within the period referred to in the preceding subparagraphs, the intervention agency shall terminate the contract in respect of the quantities for which payment has not been received.'  Article 2  This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.  It shall apply from 1 August 1985.
