THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2202/96 of 28

processing threshold for small citrus fruits of 320 000
tonnes. Article 5(2)
for a given
marketing year, overrunning of the processing threshold
is to be 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. When an
