Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee(3),
Whereas Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 2202/96(4) introduces processing thresholds; whereas an overrun of these tresholds is assessed using the average of the quantities processed under the aid scheme in the last three marketing years, including the current one; whereas the aid fixed for the current marketing year is reduced where an overrun has been established; whereas this system of calculation means that the amount of aid for a given marketing year cannot be known until after the marketing year in question; whereas this situation causes problems for the management of producer organisations; whereas the effects of an overrun should therefore be postponed to the following marketing year;

Whereas this amendment to Regulation (EC) No 2202/96 should apply from the 1999/2000 marketing year,
