Accordingly, until the Fund reaches the target level referred to in Article 69, but until no later than eight years after the date of application of this Article, the Board shall use the Fund in accordance with principles founded on a division of the Fund into national compartments corresponding to each participating Member State, as well as on a progressive merger of the different funds raised at national level to be allocated to national compartments of the Fund, as laid down in the Agreement.
Dokler sklad ne doseže ciljne ravni iz člena 69, a največ osem let po začetku uporabe tega člena, odbor pri uporabi sklada ustrezno upošteva načela, temelječa na razdelitvi sklada na nacionalne razdelke, ki ustrezajo sodelujočim državam članicam, pa tudi na postopnem združevanju različnih sredstev, zbranih na nacionalni ravni, ki se dodelijo nacionalnim razdelkom sklada, kot je določeno v sporazumu.
