2.The farmer referred to in paragraph 1 may also transfer, in whole or in part, his rights to other farmers without transferring his holding.
Where premium rights are transferred without a transfer of the holding, part of the rights transferred, not exceeding 15 %, shall be surrendered, without any compensation, to the national reserve of the Member State where the holding is situated for redistribution free of charge.
3.Member States:
(a)shall take the necessary measures to prevent premium rights being transferred outside sensitive areas or regions where beef and veal production is particularly important for the local economy;
(b)may provide either that the transfer of rights without transfer of the holding is carried out directly between farmers or that it is carried out via the national reserve.
4.Before a date that they shall determine, Member States may authorise temporary transfers of that part of the premium rights which is not intended to be used by the farmer who holds them.
