However if during the period of application of the duty thus fixed,  the average import duty calculated differs by ECU 5 per tonne or more from that fixed, a  corresponding adjustment shall be made. The duties fixed on the last working day of each month  shall be based on the following month's intervention price. If the Wednesday on which import duties are due to be fixed is not a working day for the Commission  they shall be set on the first working day following.`; (b)  paragraph 5 (c) is replaced by the following: '(c)  lodging with the competent authority concerned a security of ECU 8 per tonne. The security  shall be released on condition that the importer produces evidence of the specific final use  warranting a quality premium over the price of the product referred to in (a). That evidence must  prove to the satisfaction of the competent authorities of the Member State of importation that all  the cereals imported have been processed into the product specified in the declaration referred to  in (a) within the time limit referred to in (b). If processing is carried out in a Member State  other than that of importation, evidence of processing shall be provided by means of the T5 control  copy.`; 2.  the second indent of Article 5 is replaced by the following: '-  if the import duty on the quality indicated in box 20 is not the highest duty for the product  category in question, provide a written undertaking to lodge with the competent authority  concerned, on the day of acceptance of the declaration of release for free circulation, a specific  security additional to those required pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 1162/95  (1). The  amount of the security shall be equal to the difference on the day of acceptance of the declaration  of release for free circulation between the highest duty and that applicable to the quality shown  plus a supplement of ECU 5 per tonne.`; 3.  Article 6 (3) is replaced by the following: '3.  If the analysis results show the imported wheat to be of a lower standard quality than entered  on the import licence, the importer shall pay the difference between the import duty applicable to  the product shown on the licence and that on the product actually imported. The security referred  to in Article 5 shall then be released except for the ECU 5 per tonne supplement. If the above difference is not paid within one month, the security referred to in Article 5 shall  be forfeit.` Article 2 This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in  the Official Journal of the European Communities. This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all  Member States. Done at Brussels, 25 October 1995. For the Commission Franz FISCHLER Member of the Commission
