Article 2  1. The special temporary allowance shall be granted in 1992 and 1993 so long as the conflict in the territories of the former Yugoslavia rules out normal use of the traditional road and rail routes across those territories for the marketing  of the fruit and vegetables referred to in Article 1.  2. The amount of the special temporary allowance shall be determined in such a way as to contribute to meeting the additional transport costs arising as a result of the conflict referred to in paragraph 1. It may be fixed on a flat-rate basis.  3. The special temporary allowance shall be paid to the consignor on presentation to the competent authorities of documents substantiating his claim thereto.  4. The Commission shall present a report to the Council within three months of the final date for submission of claims on the cost of the measures provided for in this Regulation and of the measures provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 525/92.
