Member States may choose to use exclusively the data available from the application of Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 2419/2001 as regards the information referred to in point (b) of this paragraph, provided that this does not hinder effective checks on the aid scheme.

Such additions or changes shall be communicated in writing to the competent authorities by 30 June.
Where producer organisations as referred to in paragraph 1 market quantities intended for processing produced by members of other producer organisations under the second and third indents of Article 11(1)(c)(3) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, those producer organisations shall supply the information required in paragraph 1 of this Article to the producer organisation signing the contract.
Where producer organisations as referred to in paragraph 1 pass on the benefit of the aid scheme to individual producers under Article 3(3) and Article 6a(2) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96, those individual producers shall supply the information required in paragraph 1 of this Article to the producer organisation signing the contract.
Producer organisations not signing contracts and individual producers as referred to in paragraph 3 shall sign agreements with the producer organisations as referred to in paragraph 1.
Such agreements shall cover all production of the product concerned delivered for processing by the said producer organisations and individual producers and must specify at least the following:
the number of marketing years covered by the agreement;
the quantities to be delivered for processing, broken down by producer and by product;
the consequences of failure to comply with the agreement.
A copy of the agreements shall be attached to the information to be sent under Article 11(1).
