The Commission intends to submit the closing Regulation concerned to the Committee for the Common Organisation of the Agricultural Markets for an opinion. However, this is likely to give rise to an excessively large number of applications for the aid scheme.\n(3)\nTherefore, it is necessary to suspend the submission of applications for the aid provided for in Implementing Regulation (EU) 2020/595 and reject any applications made prior to the period of suspension where the decision to accept the application would have been taken during the period of suspension.\n(4)\nIn order to avoid speculation, this Regulation should enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union,\nHAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:",
