It also authorises exports of products in their unprocessed state or products resulting from local packaging of such products, under certain conditions to be laid down by the Commission, including reimbursement of aid or payment of import duties.\n(4)\nIn order to allow economic activity to be developed in the outermost regions, the exportation or dispatch of products covered by specific supply arrangements should be authorised after the aid has been reimbursed or import duties have been paid.\n(5)\nSince trade in products covered by specific supply arrangements between the Azores and Madeira has resulted in some speculative transactions, it is proposed that such trade in products covered by the specific supply arrangements be restricted only to products processed in these outermost regions.\n(6)\nRegulations (EC) No 1452/2001, (EC) No 1453/2001 and (EC) No 1454/2001 should be amended accordingly,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
