Article 1 
Compensation on the terms set out in this Regulation shall be granted to those producers who have suffered loss as a result of being prevented by an undertaking given pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 1078/77 from delivering or selling milk or milk products during the reference year selected by the Member State concerned under the additional levy scheme in the milk and milk product sector. Article 2 An application for compensation shall be deemed eligible if it is submitted by a producer who has been allocated a definitive special reference quantity under the conditions set out in Article 3a (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 857/84 (6), either on 29 March 1991 pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 764/89 (7) or on 1 July 1993 pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 1639/91 (8). Article 3 The application shall be submitted by the person to whom the reference quantity has been allocated or by his or her heir or heirs, without prejudice to the application of the provisions of Member States' national law. Article 4 By way of derogation from Article 2, an application shall not be accepted in the producer who has received the definitive allocation of a reference quantity pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 764/89 either did not comply with his undertaking not to take part in any programme of cessation of milk production until 31 March 1992 or sold or leased his entire holding before that date. Article 5 An application made by a producer who will receive the definitive allocation of the reference quantity pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 1639/91 on 1 July 1993 shall be accepted on condition that he does not take part in any programme of cessation of milk production and that he does not sell or lease his entire holding on or before 1 July 1994. Article 6 The competent authority referred to in Article 10 shall determine the annual quantity in respect of which compensation is due on the basis of the quantity used to calculate the premium granted pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 1078/77, increased by 1 % and reduced by a percentage representing the reductions applied in each Member State to the reference quantities of producers established in accordance with Articles 2 and 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 857/84. If a producer gives up part of his holding while it is subject to the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 1078/77, the annual quantity in respect of which compensation is due as referred to in the previous subparagraph shall also be reduced in proportion to the areas under fodder given up within the meaning of Article 1 (1) (d) of Regulation (EEC) No 1391/78 (9). The reduction referred to in the previous subparagraph shall be made in any event, irrespective of whether a special reference quantity has been allocated to the person taking over the part of the holding given up. Article 7 If the definitive special quantity allocated pursuant to Article 3a of Regulation (EEC) No 857/84 is less than 80 % of the provisional special quantity or if the holding is sold or leased in part before 1 April 1992 or before 1 July 1994 as the case may be, the annual quantity in respect of which compensation is due shall be reduced by the quantity returned to the national reserve. Article 8 1. Compensation shall be granted only for the period for which the right to compensation is not time-barred. 2. For the purpose of determining the period for which compensation shall be offered: (a) the date of interruption of the five-year time bar set by Article 43 of the Statute of the Court of Justice shall be the date of the application addressed to a Community institution or, in the case of an action brought before the Court of Justice, the date on which the application is entered in its register, or at the latest the date of the communication of the institutions published in the Official Journal of the European Communities No C 198 of 5 August 1992; (b) the starting date of the compensation period shall be five years before the date of interruption of the bar, but it may not fall before 2 April 1984 or before the date on which the non-marketing or conversion undertaking expired; (c) the closing dates of the compensation period shall be 29 March 1989 for those producers who received the special reference quantity pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 764/89 and 15 June 1991 for those producers who received the special reference quantity pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 1639/91. Article 9 If production was resumed before allocation of the provisional special quantity the quantity in respect of which compensation is due shall be reduced for the period concerned by the quantities delivered or sold directly which exceed the reference quantity which could be available to the producer, if appropriate, before the abovementioned allocation, excluding those referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 3a (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 857/94. Article 10 1. Each application for compensation must be addressed to the competent authority designated for that purpose in each Member State, using a form drawn up in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 30 of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 (10). 2. The producer shall send his application to the competent authority. The application for production shall reach the competent authority, subject to rejection, by 30 September 1993 at the latest. The limitation period pursuant to Article 43 of the Statute of the Court shall start to run afresh for all producers on whichever of the two dates referred to in the first subparagraph is appropriate if the application referred to in that subparagraph has not been made by that date save where the limitation period has been interrupted by an application to the Court of Justice made in accordance with the same Article 43. Article 11 The competent authority referred to in Article 10 shall check the accuracy of the information provided by the producer and shall calculate the amount of the compensation on the basis of the quantity and the period in respect of which compensation is due, using the amounts specified in the Annex. Article 12 The amount of the compensation shall be increased by default interest of 8 % per year until the compensation is paid. Article 13 The total amount of the compensation shall be converted into national currency using the agricultural conversion rate applicable on the date on which this Regulation enters into force. Article 14 Within four months on receipt of an application the competent authority referred to in Article 10 shall, in the name and on behalf of the Council and the Commission, make an offer of compensation to the producer, accompanied by a receipt in full and final settlement. Where the producer derives his right to a special reference quantity: - from Regulation (EEC) No 764/89, the compensation shall be paid on receipt of the returned receipt, duly approved and signed by the producer, - from Regulation (EEC) No 1639/91, the compensation shall be paid, on condition that the receipt has been returned duly approved and signed by the producer, after 1 July 1994, so as to allow the competent authority to check that Articles 5 and 7 have been complied with, unless the producer lodges with that authority a security amounting to 115 % of the compensation fixed before the application of the aforementioned Articles, as a guarantee of compliance with the conditions set out in those Articles. Failure to accept the offer within two months of its receipt shall mean that it shall not be binding in the future on the Community institutions concerned. Acceptance of the offer by the return to the competent authority of the duly approved and signed receipt shall imply the relinquishment of any claim of whatever nature against Community institutions in respect of any loss within the meaning of Article 1. Article 15 Detailed rules for the application of this Regulation, and in particular the provisions regarding payment of the costs of producers' agents incurred before 5 August 1992, shall be adopted by the Commission in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 30 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68. Article 16 The financing of the payments made pursuant to this Regulation shall be deemed to be intervention within the meaning of Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 729/70 (11). Expenditure shall be committed against 1993 appropriations on the basis of information notified by the Member States, the total amount of which shall be communicated to the Commission no later than 30 September 1993. The paying agencies must effect the payments before 15 October 1994. Article 17 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, 22 July 1993. For the Council The President M.

Failure to accept the offer within two months of its receipt shall mean that it shall not be binding in the future on the Community institutions concerned.

Article 8 
1. Compensation shall be granted only for the period for which the right to compensation is not time-barred. 2. For the purpose of determining the period for which compensation shall be offered: (a) the date of interruption of the five-year time bar set by Article 43 of the Statute of the Court of Justice shall be the date of the application addressed to a Community institution or, in the case of an action brought before the Court of Justice, the date on which the application is entered in its register, or at the latest the date of the communication of the institutions published in the Official Journal of the European Communities No C 198 of 5 August 1992; (b) the starting date of the compensation period shall be five years before the date of interruption of the bar, but it may not fall before 2 April 1984 or before the date on which the non-marketing or conversion undertaking expired; (c) the closing dates of the compensation period shall be 29 March 1989 for those producers who received the special reference quantity pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 764/89 and 15 June 1991 for those producers who received the special reference quantity pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 1639/91. Article 9 If production was resumed before allocation of the provisional special quantity the quantity in respect of which compensation is due shall be reduced for the period concerned by the quantities delivered or sold directly which exceed the reference quantity which could be available to the producer, if appropriate, before the abovementioned allocation, excluding those referred to in the second subparagraph of Article 3a (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 857/94. Article 10 1. Each application for compensation must be addressed to the competent authority designated for that purpose in each Member State, using a form drawn up in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 30 of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 (10). 2. The producer shall send his application to the competent authority. The application for production shall reach the competent authority, subject to rejection, by 30 September 1993 at the latest. The limitation period pursuant to Article 43 of the Statute of the Court shall start to run afresh for all producers on whichever of the two dates referred to in the first subparagraph is appropriate if the application referred to in that subparagraph has not been made by that date save where the limitation period has been interrupted by an application to the Court of Justice made in accordance with the same Article 43. Article 11 The competent authority referred to in Article 10 shall check the accuracy of the information provided by the producer and shall calculate the amount of the compensation on the basis of the quantity and the period in respect of which compensation is due, using the amounts specified in the Annex. Article 12 The amount of the compensation shall be increased by default interest of 8 % per year until the compensation is paid. Article 13 The total amount of the compensation shall be converted into national currency using the agricultural conversion rate applicable on the date on which this Regulation enters into force. Article 14 Within four months on receipt of an application the competent authority referred to in Article 10 shall, in the name and on behalf of the Council and the Commission, make an offer of compensation to the producer, accompanied by a receipt in full and final settlement. Where the producer derives his right to a special reference quantity: - from Regulation (EEC) No 764/89, the compensation shall be paid on receipt of the returned receipt, duly approved and signed by the producer, - from Regulation (EEC) No 1639/91, the compensation shall be paid, on condition that the receipt has been returned duly approved and signed by the producer, after 1 July 1994, so as to allow the competent authority to check that Articles 5 and 7 have been complied with, unless the producer lodges with that authority a security amounting to 115 % of the compensation fixed before the application of the aforementioned Articles, as a guarantee of compliance with the conditions set out in those Articles. Failure to accept the offer within two months of its receipt shall mean that it shall not be binding in the future on the Community institutions concerned. Acceptance of the offer by the return to the competent authority of the duly approved and signed receipt shall imply the relinquishment of any claim of whatever nature against Community institutions in respect of any loss within the meaning of Article 1. Article 15 Detailed rules for the application of this Regulation, and in particular the provisions regarding payment of the costs of producers' agents incurred before 5 August 1992, shall be adopted by the Commission in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 30 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68.
