Article 5
1. For the purposes of determining the maximum quantities which may be the subject of the conversion programme, 1 kilogram of tobacco converted to crops other than tobacco shall be equal to 2,5 kilogram of tobacco converted to other varieties of tobacco. 2. If requests for conversion exceed the available quantities, Member States shall give priority to requests for conversion to crops other than tobacco. Within each category of producers, Member States shall take account, in particular, of the need to encourage the production of tobacco which is more in line with market requirements.
