thereof, Whereas the third paragraph of Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3950/92 provides for the implementation at national level of a restructuring programme for milk production for which Community financing is to be granted; whereas the conditions under which the financing may be granted should be specified; whereas in particular it appears advisable to exclude from such financing certain reference quantities granted to producers on a priority basis and the release of which in return for compensation is not justified in the light of the aims pursued by the legislation in question; whereas, however, quantities obtained before 1 April 1987 need not be so excluded; Whereas it is necessary to determine the maximum amount of the Community compensation for the abandonment of milk production; whereas, however, if may prove necessary in a given Member State to reduce or raise the level of compensation to take account of different local conditions; whereas Member States should therefore be authorized in certain conditions to supplement the Community financing; whereas it should also be possible for the Commission to increase the maximum amount of the compensation at the request of a Member State, and to deal with any exceptional situations which may arise there; whereas such increase may in no case result in the amounts as allocated in the third paragraph of Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 3950/92 being exceeded; Whereas Member States must ensure that the conditions for the grant of compensation are complied with, and in particular that milk production is definitively abandoned, and that compensation unduly paid out is recovered; whereas for this purpose all applications must be the subject of administrative checks, and physical on-site inspections must be carried out; Whereas the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman, HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
