THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EC) No 2520/97 (2), and in particular Article 27(2) thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1109/97 (3) fixes at 111 300 tonnes the intervention threshold for cauliflowers for the 1997/98 marketing year; whereas under Article 3 of that Regulation, if the quantity of cauliflowers withdrawn in the period between 1 March 1997 and 28 February 1998 exceeds the threshold set, the Community withdrawal compensation indicated in Annex V to Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 for the 1998/99 marketing year will be reduced in proportion to the size of the overrun based on the production used to calculate the relevant threshold;

Whereas the information supplied by the Member States indicates that the withdrawals for the 1997/98 marketing year involved 118 909 tonnes of cauliflowers;

Whereas, as a result of the above, the Community withdrawal compensation set by Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 for the 1998/99 marketing year must be reduced by 0,34 % for cauliflowers;

Whereas Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1109/97 lays down that the consequences of the threshold overrun are to apply in the following marketing year; whereas it is therefore necessary to apply the reduced Community withdrawal compensation from 1 May 1998, the date on which the marketing year for cauliflowers begins;
