Where the movement certificate is produced at a later date, the amount shall be charged against the corresponding reference quantity at the date of acceptance of the declaration of release for free circulation.  The extent to which the reference quantities are used up shall be determined at Community level on the basis of the imports charged against them in the manner defined in the first subparagraph, as communicated to the Statistical Office of the European  Communities pursuant to Regulations (EEC) No 2658/87 (11) and (EEC) No 1736/75 (12).
