The quotas in question shall retain their original purpose, i.e. deliveries or direct sales.
2.Any additional quota allocated to a Member State shall automatically be placed in the national reserve and divided into deliveries and direct sales according to foreseeable needs.
3.The quotas placed in the national reserve shall not have a reference fat content.
