Aid exempted by a regulation adopted pursuant to Articles 1 and 2 shall be exempted for the period of validity of that regulation and for the adjustment period provided for in paragraphs 2 and 3. Every five years the Commission shall submit a report to the European Parliament and to the Council on the application of this Regulation.
