COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1962/81

of 10 July 1981

fixing the coefficients to be applied to production aid for tomato concentrates and prunes and to the minimum price for dried plums (prunes d'Ente)

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 516/77 of 14 March 1977 on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1118/81 (2), and in particular Article 3c thereof,

Whereas for tomato concentrates, the use of coefficients to be applied to the aid for a product with defined commercial characteristics has shown the need, in the case of the lowest and highest concentrations, to fix coefficients which are more closely related to the dry extract content of the products concerned; whereas, in applying the said coefficients to the product in question, a maximum ratio should be laid down between the net weight and the net weight with immediate packaging according to the various forms of packing;

Whereas, because of the diversity of commercial size categories for prunes, the amount of production aid must be fixed for a product with defined commercial characteristics; whereas, therefore, coefficients to be applied to that amount should be fixed as so to take account of the differences in relation to size category;

Whereas, since the differences in size category depend on the basic product, the same coefficients should apply to the minimum producer price;

Whereas the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables has not delivered an opinion within the time limit set by its chairman,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

For the 1981/82 marketing year, the coefficients to be applied:

- to production aid for tomato concentrates shall be as shown in Annex I hereto,

- to production aid for prunes and to the minimum producer price shall be as shown in Annex II hereto.

Article 2

This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Done at Brussels, 10 July 1981.

(1) These coefficients shall be fully applied provided the ratio between the net weight with and without immediate packaging does not exceed the following levels:

for column (a): 112

for column (b): 117

for column (c): 122

for column (d): 127

for column (e): 138.

Where these levels are exceeded, the applicable coefficient for calculating aid shall be reduced according to the relationship between the maximum authorized ratio and the ratio found.
