Article 5

The security relating to the import rights shall be EUR 3 per head. It shall be deposited with the competent authority together with the application for import rights.

Import licence applications shall be made for the quantity allocated. This obligation shall constitute a primary requirement within the meaning of Article 20(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2220/85.

Where the application of the reduction coefficient referred to in Article 4(2) causes less import rights to be allocated than had been applied for, the security lodged shall be released proportionally without delay.
