For the purposes of this Chapter:

‘block security’ means a security made available to the competent authority with the purpose of ensuring that more than one obligation is met;

a public body responsible for executing the duties of a public authority; or
a private body executing duties referred to in point (a) under State supervision.
2.The competent authority may waive the security requirement where the value of the sum secured is less than EUR 500. In that case, the party concerned shall undertake in writing to pay a sum equal to the security waived if the corresponding obligation is not met.
In applying the first subparagraph, the value of the security shall be calculated as comprising all the relevant obligations linked with a same operation.

The competent authority need not to present such a cheque for payment until the period for which it is guaranteed is about to expire.

4.Any charges by a financial institution shall be borne by the party giving the security.
5.No interest shall be paid to the party giving a security in the form of a cash deposit.

Any person responsible for an obligation covered by a security claiming that the non-respect of the obligation is due to force majeure shall prove to the satisfaction of the competent authorities that force majeure applies.

If the proof referred to in the first subparagraph consists of the submission of a used or expired import or export licence, or the submission of the proof of products having left the custom territory of the [F11United Kingdom], the security to be forfeited shall be 15 % if that proof is submitted after the fixed time limit referred to in the first subparagraph but at the latest on the 730th calendar day after the expiry date of the licence. After those 730 calendar days, the remaining security shall be forfeited in whole.
If the proof referred to in the first subparagraph consists of the submission of a used or expired export licence with advance fixing of the refunds, the security to be forfeited shall be:
10 % if the licence is submitted between the 61th and 90th calendar days after the date of expiry of the licence;
50 % if the licence is submitted between the 91st and 120th calendar day after the date of expiry of the licence;
70 % if the licence is submitted between the 121st and 150th calendar day after the date of expiry of the licence;
80 % if the licence is submitted between the 151st and 180th calendar day after the date of expiry of the licence;
