Kadar se prag v Skupnosti v sedanji sestavi prekorači, se po postopku iz člena 20 Uredbe (EGS) št. 516/77, če je to potrebno za zagotovitev normalnih pogojev konkurence med špansko industrijo in industrijo Skupnosti, odloči, da se v skladu s členom 72 (3) (a) uporabi kompenzacijski znesek, ki je največ enak razliki med pomočjo, določeno za Španijo, in pomočjo, ki bi izhajala iz določene pomoči Skupnosti, in ga Kraljevina Španija obračunava pri izvozu v tretje države.
Where the threshold in the Community as at present constituted is exceeded, if this proves necessary to ensure normal conditions for competition between Spanish industries and those of the Community, it shall be decided, in accordance with the procedure provided for in Article 20 of Regulation (EEC) No 516/77, that a compensatory amount, at the most equal to the difference between the aid fixed for Spain and that which would have been derived from the fixed Community aid, will be applied in accordance with Article 72 (3) (a) and levied by the Kingdom of Spain on exports to third countries.
