Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3139/88 (3) set the intervention threshold for the 1988/89 marketing year for lemons in Spain at 69 590 tonnes;
Wheras Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 2285/88 provides that if the quantities of lemons offered for intervention in Spain over a period of 12 consecutive months exceeds the threshold fixed for the 1988/89 marketing year institutional prices applicable in Spain for the 1989/90 marketing year are to be reduced by 1 % for every 4 300 tonnes by which the threshold is exceeded;
