 The following submission, dated 18 October 2010, is being circulated at the request of the

1 The Current Total AMS for the calendar year  2008 exceeds the Total current commitment level by 106 million NOK.  When deciding  on prices and support levels for 
2008 the AMS for rye, oilseeds and goat milk was not taken into account, as the AMS for these three products was included in th e notifications as a result of the TPR of 
Norway in October 2008.  The total AMS for these products was 18 8.6 million NOK in 2008.  In addition, there was a concurrence of large production volumes for 
multiple products in 2008.  Action has been taken in order to ensure that the annual AMS levels will be in compliance with the commitment levels from 2009 onwards .
