COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 932/2000

of 4 May 2000

reducing the Community withdrawal compensation for cauliflowers, peaches and nectarines for
the 2000/01 marketing year as a result of overruns of the intervention thresholds fixed for the
1999/2000 marketing year

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 last amended by Regulation (EC) No
1257/1999 (2), and in particular Article 27(1) and (2) thereof,

Whereas:

Commission Regulation (EC) No 1097/1999 (3) fixes the
intervention thresholds for the 1999/2000 marketing
year at 112 300 tonnes
for cauliflowers, 254 700
tonnes for peaches and 83 700 tonnes for nectarines.
Under Article 3 of that Regulation, if the quantity of
cauliflowers, peaches or nectarines withdrawn in the
period between 1 March 1999 and 28 February 2000
exceeds the threshold fixed, the Community withdrawal
compensation laid down in Annex V to Regulation (EC)
No 2200/96 for the 2000/01 marketing year is to be
reduced in proportion to the size of the overrun based
on the production used to calculate the relevant
threshold.

The information supplied by the Member States indi-
cates that 170 502 tonnes of cauliflowers, 314 722
tonnes of peaches and 214 443 tonnes of nectarines
were withdrawn in the 1999/2000 marketing year.

(1)

(2)

(3)

marketing year must be reduced by 2,59 % for cauli-
flowers, 2,36 % for peaches and 15,62 % for nectarines.

Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1097/1999 lays down
that the consequences of an overrun of the threshold are
to apply in the following marketing year. The reduction
in the Community withdrawal compensation for cauli-
flowers, peaches and nectarines should therefore apply
in the 2000/01 marketing year.

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in
accordance with the opinion of
the Management
Committee for Fresh Fruit and Vegetables,

Consequently,

tion in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 4 May 2000.
