(a) 93 % of the net quantity indicated in the subsidy document, and
(b) the net quantity actually exported.
However, if the net quantity exported amounts to less than 7 % of the net quantity indicated in the subsidy document, the whole of the security shall be forfeit. Furthermore, if the total amount of the security which should be forfeit is less than ECU 5 for a subsidy document, the Member State may release the whole of the security. On application by the holder of the document, Member States may release the security by instalments pro rata to the quantities of products in respect of which the proof referred to in paragraph 5 has been furnished, subject to proof that a quantity equal to at least 7 % of the net quantity indicated in the subsidy document has been exported.
If the proof referred to in paragraph 5 has not, except for reasons of force majeure, been furnished within six months of the day on which declaration of exportation was accepted, the security shall be forfeit.
