DOCUMENT REQUIRED BY THE NATIONAL PROCEDURE PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 14 OF REGULATION NO 223/77 .
29 SINCE THE PURPOSE OF THOSE RULES IS TO EXCLUDE THE POSSIBILITY OF AID BEING PAID TWICE , AS WELL AS THAT OF THE GOODS RE-ENTERING NORMAL MARKET CHANNELS , AND THEREBY TO PREVENT FRAUDULENT PRACTICES , THE FORMALITIES REGARDING PROOF MUST CONTINUE TO BE RIGOROUSLY APPLIED BOTH TO EXPORTS AND TO INLAND DELIVERIES .
30 DURING THE ORAL PROCEDURE THE COMMISSION CORRECTLY OBSERVED THAT RECOURSE TO ANOTHER METHOD OF CHECKING COMPLIANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS LAID DOWN IN ARTICLE 6 ( 1 ) ( B ) OF REGULATION NO 1725/79 , NAMELY SUBSEQUENT INSPECTIONS FOLLOWED , IF NECESSARY , BY REPAYMENT OF THE AID GRANTED , WOULD ENTAIL , IN PARTICULAR , EXCESSIVE ADMINISTRATIVE WORK FOR THE MEMBER STATES RESPONSIBLE FOR CARRYING OUT THOSE INSPECTIONS .
31 IT MUST BE STATED THAT THE PRINCIPLE OF PROPORTIONALITY IS NOT BREACHED BY COMMUNITY RULES WHICH PRESCRIBE PRIOR ADMINISTRATIVE SUPERVISION TO ENSURE COMPLIANCE WITH THE CONDITIONS FOR THE PAYMENT OF AID WHERE THE SUMS INVOLVED ARE PARTICULARLY LARGE AND THERE IS A PARTICULAR DANGER OF FRAUD .
32 THEREFORE , EVEN THOUGH THE CONTESTED MEASURES ENTAIL THE RESULT THAT AID IN RESPECT OF EXPORTS IS PAID LATER THAN AID IN RESPECT OF INLAND DELIVERIES , THEY DO NOT , BY REASON OF THE SPECIAL CONDITIONS APPLICABLE TO INTRA-COMMUNITY TRANSIT , BREACH THE PRINCIPLE OF PROPORTIONALITY .
33 THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION SUBMITTED BY THE NATIONAL COURT MUST THEREFORE BE THAT CONSIDERATION OF THE QUESTION RAISED HAS DISCLOSED NO FACTOR OF SUCH A NATURE AS TO AFFECT THE VALIDITY OF ARTICLES 6 ( 2 ) AND 7 OF REGULATION NO 1725/79 .
