Without prejudice to possible review during the period for which the balance is valid, the quantities set for each type of oil may be exceeded by 20 % provided that the overall quantity is not exceeded.  2. Pursuant to Article 3 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92 the aid granted on olive oil of Community origin under the specific supply arrangements for Madeira shall be equal, for each type of oil, to the average of the maximum export refund amounts set  by tendering procedure for oil in small containers in the course of the month preceding that of submission of the certificate application, adjusted, where appropriate, by the accession compensatory amounts in force in the Member State of dispatch in  respect of third countries, plus ECU 1 per 100 kg.

Licences/certificates shall be issued not later than the tenth working day of each month. For July 1992, however, they shall be issued on 31 July.  Article 5  1. The validity of import licences shall expire on the last day of the month following that of issue.  2. The validity of aid certificates shall expire on the last day of the second month following that of issue.  Article 6  The aid provided for in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 1600/92 shall be paid on quantities actually delivered to Madeira. The rate applicable for payment in the national currency shall be the agricultural conversion rate applicable on the  first day of the month in which the aid application is submitted.  Article 7  Security provided against licences/certificates shall be released:  (a) if the competent authority has rejected the application;  (b) if the importer has withdrawn his application under Article 4 (3);  (c) when proof is furnished that the licence/certificate has been used; the security shall be released pro rata to the quantities charged to the licence/certificate; the full security shall be released when 95 % of the scheduled quantity has been used;   (d) proof is furnished that the product has become unfit for any use or that importation has been prevented by force majeure.
