After consulting the Fund Committee,
Whereas, by Commission Decision 92/491/EEC (3), as amended by Decision 93/524/EEC (4), an amount  relating to the additional levy totalling Lit 174 266 472 000 for Italy, which should have been  paid in the milk and milk products sector, was disallowed; whereas the said amount was charged to  Italy under the Decision in question; whereas the information available to the Commission at the  time did not enable it to calculate exactly the aforementioned disallowed sum; whereas it reserved  the option of amending the disallowed sum under a subsequent clearance of accounts decision;
Whereas, in their joint conclusions of 21 October 1994, the Commission and the Council agreed that  the proceedings pending before the European Court of Justice relating to that clearance decision  should be withdrawn; whereas the Commission will revise those clearance decisions for 1989 which  the Court of Justice has been asked to annul in such a way that the financial correction for the  State concerned will be based on the guaranteed quantity allocated at the time and on the most  reliable statistical data; whereas the additional costs to be borne by Italy resulting from the  increase in the financial correction for 1989 should be recovered in four equal annual instalments  from 1995 until the end of 1998;
