Whereas Article 27(1) of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 provides for an intervention threshold to be fixed if the market in a product listed in Annex II is suffering or at risk of suffering from imbalances giving or liable to give rise to too large a volume of withdrawals; whereas such a development might cause budget problems for the Community;

Whereas, under the abovementioned Article 27, an over-run of the intervention threshold gives rise to a reduction in the Community withdrawal compensation in the marketing year following the over-run; whereas the implications of this over-run for each of the products in question should be determined and a reduction proportional to the size of the over-run should be fixed, up to a certain percentage;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
The following intervention thresholds are fixed for the 1998/99 marketing year:

The over-run of the intervention threshold for the products listed in Article 1 shall be assessed on the basis of the withdrawals carried out between 1 August 1998 and 31 July 1999.

The Community withdrawal compensation shall not, however, be reduced by more than 30 %.
