  "text": "1. Each exporter shall complete a specific application for payment within the meaning of Article 46 of Regulation (EC) No 612/2009. It shall be presented to the authority responsible for payment, accompanied by the corresponding certificates, except in the case of registration of the certificates as provided for in Article 24(2) of this Regulation or in the case of exports not covered by refund certificates.\nThe competent authority may consider that the specific application is not the payment documents referred to in Article 46(2) of Regulation (EC) No 612/2009.\nThe competent authority may consider the specific application to be the export declaration within the meaning of Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 612/2009. In that case, the date of receipt of the specific application by the authority responsible for payment referred to in paragraph 2 of this Article shall be the date on which that authority received the export declaration. In all other cases, the specific application must contain particulars of the export declaration including the reference number of the export declaration.\n2. The authority responsible for payment shall determine the amount requested on the basis of the information contained in the specific application, taking as sole basis the quantity and nature of the basic product(s) exported and the applicable refund rate(s). That data shall be indicated or referred to clearly in the export declaration.\nThe authority responsible for payment shall record that amount on the refund certificate within six months of the date of receipt of the specific application.\nThe certificates shall be attributed on the reverse of Copy No 1. Boxes 28, 29 and 30 shall contain the amount in euros instead of the quantity.\nThe third subparagraph shall apply mutatis mutandis to certificates kept in electronic format.\n3. After attribution, if the refund certificate is not registered as provided for in Article 24(2), Copy No 1 of the certificate shall be returned to the holder or kept by the paying authority at the request of the exporter.\n4. The security retained in respect of the amount for which the refund certificate has been attributed for goods exported may be released or may be transferred to guarantee advance payment of the refund in accordance with Chapter 2 of Title II of Regulation (EC) No 612/2009.",
