1.2.3.4 // // // // // Quantities withdrawn and intended for the carry-over premium, broken down by product category // Type of processing selected // Corresponding amount of the premium (ECU per tonne) // Total premium (ECU) // (1) // // (2) // (3) = (1) × (2) // // // // // . . . // // // // // // // // . . . // // // // // // // // . . . // // // // // // // // Total // // // // // // // 1.2.3 // // // // Total estimated advance // Total advances for preceding months // Advance to be received for the month concerned // (1) // (2) // (3) = (1) - (2) // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // // //

III. For the purposes of calculating the advance, no account shall be taken of:

- quantities as referred to in column 2 of Annex I to Regulation (EEC) No 3137/82 which are in excess of 15 % of the quantities offered for sale during the months concerned,

- quantities in respect of which the sum of adjusted withdrawals (column 9 of Annex I of the said Regulation) exceeds 20 % of the quantities offered for sale during the months concerned.

IV. All figures shall be rounded off to multiples of 5 (i.e. 1;4 = 1, 1;5 = 2). The calculation of quantities shall be based, where necessary, on provisional data (to be given in final form in the two months following the month in question).
