THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

The Commission may also restrict the depreciation at the time of buying-in to a fraction of this depreciation percentage, but that fraction may not be less than 70 % of the overall depreciation.

(3) Coefficients for certain products to be applied by the intervention agencies to the monthly buying-in values of those products in the 2009 accounting year should therefore be fixed, to enable the agencies to establish the depreciation amounts.

In respect of the products listed in the Annex hereto which, having been bought in by public intervention, are stored or taken over by the intervention agencies between 1 October 2008 and 30 September 2009, the intervention agencies shall apply to the values of the products bought in every month the depreciation coefficients set out in the Annex.

Article 2

The expenditure amounts, calculated by taking account of the depreciation referred to in Article 1 of this Regulation, shall be notified to the Commission under the declarations established in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 883/2006 (3).

Whereas:

(1) The import duties in the cereals sector applicable from 16 October 2008 were fixed by Commission Regulation (EC) No 1003/2008 (3).
