Whereas Article 10 (2) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1594/83 of 14 June 1983 on the subsidy for oilseeds (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2215/88 (4), authorizes the payment in advance to the recipient of the subsidy without proof being awaited that the economic operation justifying the granting thereof has been carried out, subject to the condition on the one hand that the seeds in respect of which the subsidy is applied for have been identified and on the other hand that a security has been lodged to ensure that the processing or incorporation of the said oilseeds is carried out;

Whereas in its present wording Article 36 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2681/83 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 626/89 (6), entails detailed rules of application which do not fully correspond to the abovementioned requirements and whereas it should be amended and supplemented accordingly;
