COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1933/2001

of 1 October 2001

reducing, for the 2001/02 marketing year, the amount of aid for small citrus fruits 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 Regula-
tion (EC) No 2699/2000 (2), and in particular Article 6 thereof,

this information, a Community processing threshold
overrun of 15 945 tonnes has been established. Within
that overrun, an overrun of the threshold for Italy has
been established. The amounts of aid for small citrus
fruit laid down in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 2202/
96 for the 2001/02 marketing year must therefore be
reduced by 10,97 % 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,

Whereas:

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

(1)

the average of

Article 5(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2202/96 establishes a
Community processing threshold for small citrus fruits,
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.
The overrun of the processing threshold is assessed on
the basis of
the quantities processed
under the aid scheme during the three marketing years
preceding the marketing year in question, or during an
equivalent period. Article 5(3) allows the Member States
to divide the national threshold laid down for small
citrus fruits into two subthresholds, one for small citrus
fruit for processing into segments, the other for small
citrus fruit
the national
threshold has been so subdivided, the reduction in aid in
the event of an overrun is applied to the aid for both
subthresholds in proportion to the recorded overrun for
the subthreshold concerned. Spain has applied this
provision. The segments subthreshold has been fixed at
125 805 tonnes and the juice subthreshold at 144 381
tonnes.
