The quantities of the delivery obligations for a delivery period:

a

shall be determined provisionally before 1 May preceding the period in question;

b

shall be adopted before 1 February of the period in question;

c

shall occasionally be adjusted during the period in question if necessary as a result of new information, in particular to resolve duly justified specific cases.

4

The adjustments referred to in paragraph 2(c) may comprise transfers of quantities between two consecutive delivery periods provided that this does not disrupt the supply arrangements referred to in Article 39 of Regulation (EC) No 1260/2001.
