in a product

An intervention threshold for apples was set for the
2000/01 marketing year in Commission Regulation (EC)
No 1511/2000 (3). Since the conditions laid down in the
abovementioned Article 27 continue to be met for that
product, an intervention threshold for apples should be
set for the 2001/02 marketing year.

The intervention threshold for apples should be set by
reference to a percentage of average production intended
for consumption fresh in the last five marketing years
for which data are available. The period to be taken into
account for accessing any overrun in the threshold for
this product should also be determined.

Pursuant to the abovementioned Article 27, any overrun
in the intervention threshold will result in a reduction in
compensation in the
the Community withdrawal

Article 1

The intervention threshold for apples for the 2001/02

1.
marketing year shall be 495 700 tonnes.

2.
Any overrun in the intervention threshold shall be
assessed on the basis of withdrawals in the period 1 June 2001
to 31 May 2002.

Article 2

If the quantity of apples withdrawn in the period set in Article
1(2) exceeds the threshold laid down in Article 1(1),
the
Community withdrawal compensation set for the following
marketing year pursuant to Article 26 of Regulation (EC) No
2200/96 shall be reduced in proportion to the size of the
overrun compared with the production used to calculate the
relevant threshold.

Article 3

This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publica-
tion in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

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