Article 5(2) of that Regulation lays down that, when there is an overrun of this threshold, the aid fixed in Annex I thereto shall be reduced in each Member State in which the threshold has been overrun. The overrun of the processing threshold is assessed on the basis of the average of the quantities processed under the aid scheme during the three marketing years preceding the marketing year in question, or during an equivalent period.

(2) The Member States, in accordance with Article 22(1)(b) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1169/97 of 26 June 1997 laying down detailed rules for the application of Regulation (EC) No 2202/96 introducing a Community aid scheme for producers of certain citrus fruits(3), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2729/1999(4), have communicated the quantities of grapefruit and pomelos processed under the aid scheme. Based on this information, a Community processing threshold overrun of 178 tonnes has been established. Within that overrun, an overrun of the threshold for Spain and France has been established. The amounts of aid for grapefruit and pomelos laid down in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2202/96 for the 2001/02 marketing year must therefore be reduced by 8,16 % in Spain and 18,46 % in France.

(3) 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
