(2) Because of the large size of the storage levy due for the sugar stored on 30 June 2001, the conditions under which interested parties make payment should be eased by introducing a derogation to Article 15 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1998/78 of 18 August 1978 laying down detailed rules for the offsetting of storage costs for sugar(4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1758/93(5).

(3) In the interests of consistency with the approach taken in preceding marketing years and with Agenda 2000, provision should be made that, where there is an overrun of the ceiling in 1999/2000, the compensatory payments will be reduced in the same way as in the case of an overrun of a base area,
