particular and special intervention measures for cereals (5), and in
 particular Article 3(3) thereof
 Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Vhereas/as a result of the combined effect of the magnitude of the Community
output of cereals in 1982 and the reduction in outlets on the world market/an
appreciable increase in stocks of common wheat is expected in the Community s
main producing Member States at the end of the; 1982/83 marketing year; whereas
 this situation could cause collection difficulties on the arrival of the
1983/84 cereals" harvest and an obstruction of the intervention machinery by
          the
virtue of / lack of storage capacity available in the Member States in
question; whereas, in order to prevent this state of affairs adversely
affecting the balance of the market, it is to necessary to take appropriate
measures to reduce part of those stocks as soon as possible;
Vhereas, in view of the shortage of fodder grain in some regions of Italy
the Uni ted6 King^omj^ tfte ^tailan Republic      the United Kingdom and the Republic
of Ireland have applied
