(11) Community aid should be paid to beneficiaries in good time so that they may use it efficiently. A failure by the Member States to comply with the payment deadlines laid down in Community legislation could create serious difficulties for the beneficiaries and could jeopardise the Community's yearly budgeting. Therefore, expenditure made without respecting deadlines for payments should be excluded from Community financing. In order to respect the principle of proportionality, the Commission should be able to provide for exceptions to this general rule.
