Whereas Article 15 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972, on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1766/78 (4), lays down that producers' organizations need not offer for sale products supplied by their members in cases where the price of such products does not reach a certain level;
Whereas, in order to ensure more effective support and stabilization of the market in products intended for long-term storage, and at the same time to avoid high storage costs, provision should be made for authorizing producers' organizations to make pre-emptive withdrawals of apples or pears at the start of the marketing year if there is a serious risk of market disturbance;
Whereas the above arrangements should be applied for a limited period during which their effectiveness can be assessed,
