Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 of 2 August 1978 laying down general rules for the financing of interventions by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, Guarantee Section (1), and in particular Article 8(1) thereof,

Whereas:

(2) Pursuant to Article 8(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78, the Commission may, at its discretion, restrict depreciation at the time of buying in to a proportion of this depreciation percentage, but such proportion may not be less than 70 %; coefficients to be applied also for the 2005 financial year by the intervention agencies to the monthly buying-in values of products should be fixed, to enable the agencies to establish the depreciation amounts.

(3) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the EAGGF Committee,

In respect of the products listed in the Annex, which, having been bought in by public intervention have entered store or been taken over by the intervention agencies between 1 October 2004 and 30 September 2005, the authorities shall depreciate their value to account for the difference between the buying-in prices and the foreseeable selling prices of the relevant products.

2. To establish the amount of the depreciation, the intervention agencies shall apply to the values of the products bought in every month the coefficients set out in the Annex.

3. The expenditure amounts determined in this way shall be notified to the Commission under the declarations established pursuant to Commission Regulation (EC) No 296/96 (2).
