However, subject to the limits per Member State laid down in Annex III, Member States may distribute the areas indicated in that Annex among the production zones as defined in Annex II, or, if necessary, the production regions referred to in Article 3, according to the extent of the production of durum wheat during the period 1993 to 1997. Where this is done, should the total of the areas within a region for which a supplement to the area payment is requested be greater than the corresponding regional limit during the course of a marketing year, the area per producer in that production region for which the supplement may be paid shall be reduced proportionately.
Vendarle lahko v skladu z omejitvami na državo članico, določenimi v Prilogi III, države članice porazdelijo površine, navedene v tej prilogi, med proizvodna območja iz Priloge II, ali po potrebi med proizvodne regije iz člena 3, glede na obseg pridelave trde pšenice v obdobju od 1993 do 1997. V takem primeru se, če seštevek površin znotraj regije, za katero se zahteva dodatek k plačilu na površino, presega ustrezno regionalno mejo tekom tržnega leta, površina na pridelovalca v tej proizvodni regiji, za katero se lahko izplača dodatek, sorazmerno zmanjša.
