Article 1
For the eighth 12-month period of application of the additional levy scheme referred to in Article 5c of Regulation (EEC) No 804/68, compensation shall be granted to producers whose reference quantity has been reduced pursuant to Article 2 (3) and/or Article 6 (3) and (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 857/84. This compensation shall be fixed at ECU 10 per 100 kilograms and shall be paid for such part of the individual reference quantity for the eighth period as has been actually reduced, but it may not exceed a maximum corresponding to 3 % of the reference quantity available before the entry into force of this Regulation. However, Member States may contribute to the financing by paying compensation for the part which exceeds 3 % of the reference quantity. The compensation shall be paid during the last quarter of the 1992 calendar year. However, an earlier date may be set by a Commission decision. Moreover, the Member States may pay the compensation as from the entry into force of this Regulation if they ensure the pre-financing.
