1.In order to comply with the quantitative limitations fixed in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1370/2013, the [F1appropriate authority] shall decide F2...:

(a)to close intervention buying-in at fixed price;

(b)where acceptance of the full quantity offered would lead to the maximum quantity being exceeded, to set an allocation coefficient applicable to the total quantity in the offers received and notified to the [F1appropriate authority] from each operator on the day of the decision;

(c)where appropriate, to reject pending offers submitted to the paying [F3agency].

[F4The appropriate authority shall decide in the case of offers—

(a)not later than each Thursday, considering the quantities of products, which during the preceding week, have been the subject of an admissible offer; and

(b)when the quantities offered approach the quantitative limits fixed in Article 3(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1370/2013, on each working day, considering the quantities which have been the subject of an admissible offer up until 5 working days prior to the decision.]

For the purposes of this Article, when a date of [F5submission] is a public holiday for the [F1appropriate authority] the counting of the deadline shall start on the first working day after that public holiday. If such public holidays are included in the time period for the [F6appropriate authority's] decision, only working days shall be counted.

2.By way of derogation from Article 2(6), an operator to whom an allocation coefficient as referred to in point (b) of paragraph 1 applies may withdraw his offer within five working days of the date of entry into force of the decision setting the allocation coefficient.

[F73.This Article does not apply in relation to public intervention schemes in England, otherwise than in connection with exceptional market conditions which are the subject of a declaration under section 20 of the Agriculture Act 2020.]
