Only an operator who is a titular holder of a valid refund certificate within the meaning of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 or who was the titular holder of a certificate issued during the previous budget year, may apply for an IP certificate.\nNonetheless, where the second subparagraph of Article 14(3) of Regulation (EC) No 1520/2000 applies, any operator who has been granted refunds during the current or the previous budget year may also apply for an IP certificate.\n2. A separate application must be made for each quantity of a single, available, basic product, identified by its eight-digit nomenclature code. Only one application per tranche may be made by any single operator for each basic product.\nThe authority shall only accept applications for certificates for which the applicant has provided a written declaration that, for the tranche in question, he has not made and undertakes not to make any other applications for IP certificates for the same basic product in the Member State to which he has applied, nor in any other Member States. If more than one application is made for the same basic product, all of the applications shall be rejected.\n3. The total quantity applied for per operator and per tranche for any basic product shall not exceed 5 000 tonnes for basic products covered by the common organisation of the markets in milk products, sugar and rice, and 20 000 tonnes for basic products covered by the common organisation of the market in cereals.",
