However, suspension, as a result of paragraph 1, of the collection of levies and the application of other charges, quantitative restrictions and measures having equivalent effect does not affect the application of monetary compensatory amounts or of the specific provisions of the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal and does not apply to products that have been shown to have been:  - wholly obtained in the German Democratic Republic,  - imported and released for free circulation in the German Democratic Republic on collection of a levy at the Community level,  - imported from the Community and released for free circulation in the German Democratic Republic without benefit of any Community export refund.  A certificate issued by the 'Anstalt fuer landwirtschaftliche Marktordnung' of the German Democratic Republic shall constitute proof that the conditions laid down in the first  indent have been met and a model of such certificate will be published in the 'C' series of the Official Journal of the European Communities.
