COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1033/2001

of 29 May 2001

reducing, for the 2001/02 marketing year, the amount of aid for lemons delivered for processing
following an overrun of the processing threshold in certain Member States

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2202/96 of 28 October 1996 introducing a Community aid
scheme for producers of certain citrus fruits (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2699/2000 (2), and
in particular Article 6 thereof,

Whereas:

(1)

(2)

Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2202/96 establishes a Community processing threshold for
lemons, distributed among the Member States in accordance with Annex II thereto. Article 5(2) of
that Regulation lays down that, when there is an overrun of this threshold, the aid fixed in Annex I
thereto shall be reduced in each Member State in which the threshold has been overrun. Overrun-
ning of the processing threshold is 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.

The Member States, in accordance with Article 22(1)(b) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 1169/97
of 26 June 1997 laying down detailed rules for the application of Council Regulation (EC) No
2202/6 introducing a Community aid scheme for producers of certain citrus fruits (3), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 2729/1999 (4), have communicated the quantities of
lemons
processed under the aid scheme. Based on this information, a processing threshold overrun of
37 671 tonnes has been established. Within that overrun, an overrun of the threshold for Italy has
been established. The amounts of aid for lemons laid down in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No
2202/96 for the 2001/02 marketing year must therefore be reduced by 12,17 % in Italy.

(3)

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

For the 2001/02 marketing year, in accordance with Regulation (EC) No 2202/96, the amounts of aid for
lemons delivered for processing shall be amended as follows:

Multiannual contracts

Contracts covering
one marketing year

Individual producers

(EUR/100 kg)

Italy

9,24

7,23

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day following its publication in the Official Journal of the
European Communities.
