If the under-the-quota production is used as an equivalent of an out-of-quota production, it can accordingly be exported pursuant to the rules laid down in Article 61, first paragraph, point (d) of Council Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007. This mechanism of equivalence shall also apply if producers of quota and out-of-quota sugar or isoglucose are located in different Member States.\nYear of production\nArticle 4e Sugar or isoglucose exported under licences issued in respect of the quantitative limit referred to in Article 61(d) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 may be produced in a marketing year which is different to the one to which the export licence applies.’;\n2.. in Article 7b, paragraphs 3 and 4 are replaced by the following:\n‘3. Applications for export licences shall be submitted each week, from Monday to Friday, starting on the date of application of the Regulation fixing the quantitative limit pursuant to Article 61, first paragraph, point (d) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 and until the issue of licences is discounted in accordance with Article 7e of this Regulation.\n4. Applicants may submit one application for export licence per week. The quantity applied for in respect of each export licence shall not exceed 50 000 tonnes in the case of sugar and 5 000 tonnes in the case of isoglucose.’;\n3.. Article 8a is replaced by the following:\n‘Validity of export licences for out-of-quota exports\nArticle 8a By way of derogation from the provisions of Article 5 of this Regulation, export licences issued in respect of the quantitative limit fixed pursuant to Article 61, first paragraph, point (d) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007 shall be valid as follows:\n(a) licences issued between 1 October 2009 and 31 March 2010 shall be valid until 30 September 2010;\n(b) licences issued as from 1 April 2010 shall be valid as of their date of issue until the end of the fifth following month.’",
