In order to ensure the efficient implementation of the annual plan, the same possibility should be allowed for the supply of products in duly justified cases. In addition it needs to be established how and when a security is required.\n(3)\nTaking into consideration the non-profit nature of the designated organisations referred to in Article 27(1) of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, the competent authorities of the Member States should be empowered to allow alternative guarantee instruments when advances are paid to those organisations in respect of their administrative, transport and storage costs.\n(4)\nFor accounting purposes, Member States should be required to notify the Commission of certain information related to the advance payments.\n(5)\nImplementing Regulation (EU) No 562/2011 should therefore be amended accordingly.\n(6)\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:",
