(3) Coefficients for certain products to be applied by the intervention agencies to the monthly buying-in values of those products in the 2010 accounting year should therefore be fixed, to enable the agencies to establish the depreciation amounts.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Committee on the Agricultural Funds,
In respect of the products listed in the Annex hereto which, having been bought in by public intervention, are stored or taken over by the intervention agencies between 1 October 2009 and 30 September 2010, the intervention agencies shall apply to the values of the products bought in every month the depreciation coefficients set out in the Annex.
The expenditure amounts, calculated by taking account of the depreciation referred to in Article 1 of this Regulation, shall be notified to the Commission under the declarations established in accordance with Commission Regulation (EC) No 883/2006 (3).
