When it is noted that during a period of five to seven successive market days entry prices for a given product from a given exporting country are alternatively above and below the reference price, even when during two consecutive market days the entry prices are above or below the reference price without this having led to Article 25 being applied, a countervailing charge shall, notwithstanding the provisions of this Article and on the conditions set out below, be introduced in respect of the exporting country concerned, save in exceptional circumstances.The charge shall be introduced when:- three entry prices fall below the reference price, and- on condition that one of these entry prices is at least 0.5 unit of account below the reference price.This charge shall be equal to the difference between the reference price and the last available entry price at least 0.5 unit of account below the reference price.2. Article 25 (2) shall not apply to the charges introduced in implementation of paragraph 1 of this Article.3. The countervailing charge introduced in implementation of paragraph 1 of this Article, which shall be the same amount for all Member States, shall be levied in addition to customs duties in force.' Article 26 of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 shall be replaced by the following:'Article 26 1. The charge introduced in implementation of Article 25 shall not be altered so long as:      - the variation of the factors in its calculation does not lead, after it is put into effect for three consecutive market days, to an alteration of its amount by more than 1.0 unit of account,- regrouping of exporting countries does not become necessary.A decision to withdraw the charge for a given exporting country shall be taken when the entry price has been at least equal to the reference price for two consecutive market days. This decision shall also be taken if there are no prices in respect of that country for six consecutive working days - except where Article 24 (4) applies - or if application of the first indent of the first paragraph leads to the charge being fixed at zero.2. The charge introduced in implementation of Article 25a shall be applied for six days.It may not be withdrawn before the end of that period unless:- the application of Article 25 (1) and, should the occasion arise, Article 24 (4) lead to the fixing of a new higher countervailing charge, or- the entry price for three consecutive market days after the charge is put into effect, is at least equal to the reference price.' This Regulation shall enter into force on 1 October 1975.This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
