Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the seventh day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.

Licences for exports for which a refund is not claimed may, if they were issued before the entry into force of this Regulation and are due to expire after that date, be returned to the competent national authority. By way of derogation from Article 35(2) of Regulation (EC) No 1291/2000, in cases where less than 95 % of the quantity indicated in the licence has been exported, the security corresponding to these licences shall not be forfeit.
