THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European

that Article specifies that the advance is to be equal to
70 % of the aid set out in the Annex to Regulation (EC)
No 2202/96; whereas paragraph 5 of that Article states
that where there is a risk of an overrun in the processing
thresholds fixed in Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 2202/

year; whereas, in the light of those data and of processed
quantities on which aid was paid during the 1995/96 and

the processing thresholds for those products; whereas the
advance on the aid for the 1997/98 marketing year should
accordingly be reduced;
