Article 3
1. Eligibility for the refund shall be conditional upon the presentation of an export licence, comprising advance fixing of the refund referred to in Article 2(1), applied for to carry out the food-aid operation concerned. The licence shall be valid only for the export to be carried out in this context. By way of derogation from Article 40 of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000, the period of validity of the licence may be extended by the competent authority at the written and justified request of the successful tenderer (hereinafter referred to as "the supplier"). The export licence shall be valid only for the quantity indicated in box 17 of the licence and for which the applicant has been declared the supplier. Box 19 of the licence shall contain the figure "0". 2. Applications for licences shall be accompanied by proof that the applicant is the supplier of the Community food aid. Such proof shall be provided by a copy of the communication sent to him by the Commission informing him that he is the supplier of the food aid in question and, if required by the issuing agency, a copy of the tender notice. Licences shall be issued only if proof is provided that the delivery guarantee referred to in Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 2519/97 has been lodged. The lodging of that guarantee shall be deemed to constitute the lodging of the licence security. The word "exempted" shall accordingly be entered in box 11 of the licence. 3.
