 In some Member States an a result of massive intervention purchases ,
 available storage space has "been saturated, and it has been impossible
 to store all the quantities bought in . In eruoh cases intervention
 agencies must be able to store the produots they have bought in
 purrmant to Community provisions outside the territory of the Member
 State to which they belong.
 In view of the additional expense that may thus be inourred, and the
 problems connected Kith disposing of such products , it would be
 advisable to allow puoh storage only after Community authorization
 has been obtained .
 In principle , products thus stored would on crossing the frontier be
 subject to application of the amounts infctituied under the common
agricultural policy (in particular , accession and monetary compensatory
compensatory amounts-}. Since In Borne Member States application of these
amounts falls within the competence of the intervention agenoies strict
implementation of the system would simply mean a bookkeeping operation.
Por the sake of administrative simplicity and in view of the need to
avoid disrupting trade , suitable machinery should be therefore instituted
to ensure that the transport and marketing operations in respect of the
products in qua et ion progress simply and in aooordance with market
requirements.
This aim may bo achieved ty instituting a rule vhore"by products held by
an intervention agency outside the territory of the Member State to which
it belongs should be disposed of at the prices and conditions laid down or
to be laid down for the place of storage. Further , implementation of eruoh
a system calls for derogations from application of the amounts levied
or granted in trade in agricultural produce , and from the price cystem
in cases where the intervention agency holding the product will have to
apply prices that are not valid in the territory of the Member State to
which it belongs.
Questions of detail that may arise in connection with the proposed qystem
can be solved in the institutional framework in which the rules for
implementing the organization of the market in the prdduct concerned are
determined.
Bearing in mind that the problems dealt with in this proposal have arisen
in the past , it seems advisable to provide for the possibility of adopting
transitions measures to cover any situations that may be in existence when

             Additional costs in respect of these operations can be estimated at 0–1$
             of total annual expenditure in respect of Category II intervention coots .
             The additional coots will largely depend on the availability of warehouses
