Those centres are unable to handle all declarations by the deadline.\n(4)\nIn order to rectify these two different situations, which are outside producers’ control, and therefore to avoid producers incurring unjustified penalties, they should be granted an extension for the submission of harvest and production declarations and the Member States should be allowed to extend this time frame to a final deadline.\n(5)\nThe measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for the Common Organisation of Agricultural Markets,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
