THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78 of 2 August 1978 laying down the general rules for the financing of intervention by the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund, Guarantee Section (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 787/89 (2), and in particular Article 8 thereof,

Whereas, pursuant to Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78, systematic depreciation of public intervention agricultural products must take place when they are bought in, and whereas accordingly the Commission must determine the depreciation percentage before the beginning of each year and whereas such percentage shall not exceed the difference between the buying-in price and the foreseeable disposal price for each product;

Whereas, pursuant to Article 8 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 1883/78, the Commission may, at its discretion, restrict depreciation at the time of buying in to a proportion of this depreciation percentage, but such proportion may not be less than 70 %; whereas, coefficients to be applied also for the 1990 financial year by the intervention agencies to the monthly buying-in values of products should be fixed, to enable the agencies to establish the depreciation amounts;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the EAGGF Committee,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 2
