Article 5

Without prejudice to the communications foreseen in Article 15 of Regulation (EEC) No 3444/90, the Member States will inform the Commission, on Tuesday and Thursday of each week, of the quantities of products for which requests for conclusion of contract have been deposited since the preceding communication.

Article 6

Notwithstanding Article 11 (b) of Regulation (EEC) No 3444/90, decisions on applications to conclude contracts shall be notified by the competent intervention agency to each applicant by registered letter, telex or telefax or delivered against an acknowledgement of receipt, on the fifth working day following the day on which the application is submitted, provided that the Commission does not adopt special measures in the intervening period.

Where an examination of the situation reveals that excessive use has been made of the scheme introduced by this Regulation, or if there is a danger of this occurring, such measures may include;

- suspending the application of this Regulation for not more than five working days. In such case, applications to conclude contracts submitted during that period shall not be accepted,

- setting a single percentage by which the quantities in the applications to conclude contracts are reduced,

- rejecting applications made before the period of suspension which would have been the subject of a decision of acceptance during the period of suspension.
