Until 31 December 1992 where a Member State has national rules governing the marketing of soya beans and where such laws provide sufficient guarantees as regards the checking of entitlement to the aid, the Member State may grant the aid to first  purchasers who are not processors, provided that they are approved beforehand, that they meet the conditions laid down for processors, and that they submit to the agency designated by the Member State in question a declaration indicating the quantity of  soya beans sold or delivered to a processor.' 2.  The last subparagraph of Article 3 shall be replaced by the following:  ´However, on application by the first purchaser, the aid may be paid in advance on presentation of the delivery declaration referred to in Article 2 (1) (b) provided that a security equal to the highest amount of the aid applied for is lodged.' 3.  The following subparagraph shall be added to Article 4 (1):  ´However, the amount of aid applicable on the day on which the aid application is submitted shall be adjusted on the basis of the difference between the guide price obtaining on that day and, in accordance with the case referred to in Article 4 (2), the  price obtaining on the day of processing, or that obtaining on the day of delivery or of sale.' 4.  The following subparagraph shall be added to Article 6 (1):  ´-  The Member State shall carry out suitable checks:  - each time the quantity delivered by a producer to a first purchaser exceeds that which may be reasonably produced on the area concerned, or - in doubtful cases.' 5.
