On the basis of the data notified by the Member States or of other sources of information, the Commission shall, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 17 of Regulation (EEC) No 727/70, determine, for each harvest before 31 July of the year following that of harvest and for each of the varieties or groups of varieties of tobacco for which a maximum guaranteed quantity has been fixed, the quantity actually produced.
1. Where the maximum guaranteed quantity for a variety or a group of varieties is exceeded, a reduction of 1 % of the intervention price and the related premiums shall be applied for each 1 % by which the maximum guaranteed quantity is exceeded. However, the reductions may not exceed 5 % for the 1988 harvest and 15 % for the 1989 and 1990 harvests. 2. For the purposes of calculating the derived intervention price, the reduction shall not apply to the costs referred to in Article 6 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 727/70. 3. The norm price shall be corrected by an amount equal to the reduction in the premium. 4. Where the preceding paragraphs are applied, the Commission shall determine, at the same time as actual production, the prices and premiums to be paid for the harvest concerned.
1. Until actual production has been determined as provided for in Article 1, not more than 95 % of the amounts fixed for the intervention prices and premiums for the 1988 harvest and not more than 85 % of the corresponding amounts for the 1989 and 1990 harvests may be paid. However, at the discretion of the Member State, 100 % of those prices and premiums may be paid if a security equal to 5 % is lodged for the 1988 harvest and 15 % for the 1989 and 1990 harvests. 2. Any balance shall be paid and the security shall be released or forfeited after actual production is determined in accordance with Article 1. Where appropriate, the second paragraph of Article 4 shall apply.
Where an advance is applied for pursuant to Article 7 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1726/70, if the actual production for a variety or group of varieties, at the discretion of the Member State, has not yet been determined: - in the case referred to in Article 7 (2) (a) of Regulation (EEC) No 1726/70, the security shall be increased by 5 % or the advance shall be reduced by 5 % for the 1988 harvest; for the 1989 and 1990 harvests, the percentage shall be equal to 15 %, - in the case referred to in Article 7 (2) (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1726/70, a security of 5 % of the premium for the 1988 harvest and 15 % for the 1989 and 1990 harvests shall be lodged, or the advance shall be reduced by the abovementioned percentages for those harvests. After actual production is determined: - the portion of the security referred to in the first indent of the preceding paragraph and the security referred to in the second indent of that paragraph shall be released, - the difference between the advances referred to in Article 7 (2) (a) and (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 1726/70 and the amounts actually advanced shall be paid for the whole amount where the maximum guaranteed quantity is not exceeded or for the difference in percentage points between the price and premium reduction ceiling fixed for the harvest concerned and the amount by which the maximum guaranteed quantity is exceeded.
