No figure can be put on the reduction of expenditure by preventing 
market withdrawals. However, it is worth noting that each tonne 
not withdrawn saves about 100 ECU.

Extending the intervention period is bound to help reduce
withdrawals in May, saving expenditure by the EAGGF, since
some of the stocks will be marketing normally instead of
being withdrawn.
