COMMISSION DECISION of 4 October 1993 concerning Regulation (EEC) No 685/69 in respect of the fixing of aid for the private storage of butter and cream
(93/536/EEC)THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 685/69 of 14 April 1969 on detailed rules of application for intervention on the market in butter and cream (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1756/93 (2), and in particular the first paragraph of
Article 29
thereof,
Whereas Article 29 of Regulation (EEC) No 685/69 lays down that, in the event of an adjustment of the buying-in price expressed in national currency for butter, the private storage aid will be reduced or increased accordingly; whereas the Commission, if the market situation so justifies, may derogate from this rule in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 30 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2071/92 (4); whereas the new agrimonetary rules introduced on 1 January 1993 entail frequent adjustments to the agricultural conversion rates, thereby creating ambiguities with regard to the calculation of compensation resulting from the adjustment of the buying in price on 1 July 1993;
Whereas, in the light of the market situation, taking into consideration the reduction in the intervention price for butter, account should not be taken of all the adjustments to the agricultural conversion rates and compensation should be calculated on the basis of 90 % of the intervention price;
Whereas the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,
HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
Article 1
The compensation referred to in Article 29 of Regulation (EEC) No 685/69 shall be equal to the difference between 90 % of the buying-in price expressed in national currency applicable on 30 June 1993, on the one hand, and 90 % of that applicable on 1 July 1993, on the other.
The compensation referred to in the preceding paragraph shall apply only to butter in respect of which the first day of the contractual storage period precedes 1 July 1993 and which is still in storage on that date.
Article 2
This Decision is addressed to the Member States.
Done at Brussels, 4 October 1993.

Whereas Council Directive 86/566/EEC (5) widened the obligations of Member States in respect of the liberalization of capital movements; whereas the Italian Republic has requested the Commission to extend the scope of the previously authorized protective measures to newly liberalized operations of the same type as those covered by Decision 85/16/EEC or presenting an equivalent threat to the balance of payments;

It should therefore be provided for that those measures may be limited to a period of two years, where appropriate.

(2) An intervention threshold for apples was set for the 1999/2000 marketing year in Commission Regulation (EC) No 1541/1999(3). Since the conditions laid down in the abovementioned Article 27 continue to be met for that product, an intervention threshold for apples should be set for the 2000/01 marketing year.

The period to be taken into account for assessing the overrun of the threshold should also be determined.
(4) Pursuant to the abovementioned Article 27, an overrun of the intervention threshold results in a reduction in the Community withdrawal compensation in the marketing year following the year in which the threshold is exceeded. The consequences of such an overrun should be determined and a reduction in proportion to the size of the overrun set.
(5) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
1. The intervention threshold for apples for the 2000/01 marketing year shall be 486900 tonnes.
2. Any overrun of the intervention threshold shall be assessed on the basis of withdrawals effected between 1 June 2000 and 31 May 2001.
Article 2
If the quantity of apples subject to withdrawals during the period laid down in Article 1(2) exceeds the threshold laid down in Article 1(1), the Community withdrawal compensation set under Article 26 of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 for the following marketing year shall be reduced in proportion to the size of the overrun based on the production used to calculate the relevant threshold.
Article 3
This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.
