COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1422/92 of 27 May 1992 reducing the basic price and buying-in price for peaches and nectarines for the 1992/93 marketing year following the overrun of the intervention threshold for 1991/92
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1156/92 (2), and in particular Article 16b (4) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1182/91 (3) fixed the intervention thresholds for the 1991/92 marketing year at 269 700 tonnes for peaches and 62 400 tonnes for nectarines;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 16a (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 and Article 2 (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2240/88 of 19 July 1988 fixing, for peaches, lemons and oranges, the rules for applying Article 16b of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1623/91 (5), if, during a marketing year, intervention measures taken for peaches and nectarines involve quantities exceeding the intervention thresholds fixed for those products and for that marketing year, the basic and buying-in prices fixed for those products for the following marketing year are reduced by 1 % for each 23 000 tonnes in the case of peaches and each 3 000 tonnes in the case of nectarines by which those thresholds are exceeded;
Whereas, on the basis of information supplied by the Member States, the intervention measures taken by the Community for the 1991/92 marketing year related to 424 423 tonnes for peaches and 79 610 tonnes for nectarines; whereas the Commission therefore notes an overrun in the intervention thresholds fixed for that marketing year of 154 723 tonnes for peaches and 17 210 tonnes for nectarines;
Whereas, consequently, the basic and buying-in prices for peaches and nectarines for the 1992/93 marketing year, as fixed by Council Regulation (EEC) No 1378/92 of 21 May 1992, fixing for the 1992/93 marketing year certain prices and other amounts in the fruit and vegetables sector (6), must be reduced by 6 % for peaches and by 5 % for nectarines;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 18b (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, withdrawals on the territory of the former German Democratic Republic before the end of the 1991/92 marketing year are not taken into consideration in assessing whether intervention thresholds have been exceeded;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
The basic and buying-in prices for peaches and nectarines for the 1992/93 marketing year, as fixed by Regulation (EEC) No 1378/92, shall be reduced by 6 % for peaches and 5 % for nectarines and shall be as set out in the Annex.
