However, retail establishments or restaurants selling their products to end consumers may not lodge applications.
3. Export licences shall be issued on the Wednesday following the period referred to in paragraph 1, provided that none of the special measures referred to in paragraph 4 have since been taken by the Commission.
4. Where the issue of export licences would or might result in the available budgetary amounts being exceeded or in the maximum quantities which may be exported with a refund being exhausted during the period concerned, in view of the limits referred to in Article 169 of Regulation (EC) No 1234/2007, or where the issue of export licences would not allow exports to continue during the remainder of the period, the Commission may:

5.

6. Where the quantities applied for are rejected or reduced, the security shall be released immediately for all quantities for which an application was not satisfied.
7. Notwithstanding paragraph 3, where a single percentage of acceptance less than 80 % is set, the licence shall be issued at the latest by the 11th working day following publication of that percentage in the Official Journal of the European Union. During the 10 working days following its publication, the operator may:
(a) either withdraw his application, in which case the security shall be released immediately; or
(b) request the immediate issuing of the licence, in which case the competent authority shall issue it without delay but no sooner than the normal issue date for the relevant week.
8. By way of derogation from paragraph 3, the Commission may set a day other than Wednesday for the issuing of export licences when it is not possible to respect this day.
Article 4 

1. On application by the operator, licence applications for up to 25 tonnes of products shall not be subject to any special measures as referred to in Article 3(4) and the licences applied for shall be issued immediately.In such cases, notwithstanding Article 2(1), the term of validity of the licences shall be limited to five working days from their actual day of issue within the meaning of Article 22(2) of Regulation (EC) No 376/2008 and Section 20 of licence applications and of licences shall show one of the entries listed in Annex III.
