‘2a

Where Member States have no sea port, a decision may be taken, in accordance with the procedure referred to in paragraph 1, to derogate from paragraph 2 and, in the case of exports from a sea port, to finance the lowest transport costs between the place of storage and the actual place of exit, within the financial limits laid down in the tender notice.

For the purpose of this paragraph the Romanian port of Constanţa and the Croatian ports of Rijeka and Split may be regarded as places of exit.’
