COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1815/82

of 7 July 1982

fixing for the 1982/83 marketing year the minimum purchase price for oranges delivered for industrial processing and the financial compensation to be paid after processing

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to the Act of Accession of Greece, and in particular Article 77 thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2601/69 of 18 December 1969 laying down special measures to encourage the processing of certain varieties of oranges (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1154/78 (2), and in particular Articles 2 (3) and 3 (2) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 10/81 of 1 January 1981 fixing, in respect of fruit and vegetables, the general rules for implementing the 1979 Act of Accession (3), and in particular Article 9 thereof,

Whereas, under Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 2601/69, the minimum price which processors must, under the terms of the contracts, pay to producers is to be calculated on the basis of the purchase price, plus 10 % of the basic price, of the varieties which, by reason of their commercial characteristics, are usually sent for processing;

Whereas experience has shown that besides oranges of the Biondo comune variety, the products concerned are Class III oranges or mixed blood oranges; whereas the minimum price should consequently be fixed on the basis of the average purchase price for the marketing year in progress, valid under Council Regulation (EEC) No 1205/82 (4) and Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1203/73 (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1342/82 (6), for the oranges of that variety, plus 10 % of the average basic price over the same period;

Whereas, under Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 2601/69, the financial compensation must be so fixed that the difference between the minimum price and the financial compensation does not vary in relation to that recorded for the previous marketing year by a percentage exceeding the percentage variation in the minimum price;

Whereas, for the 1982/83 marketing year, application of the criteria laid down in Article 77 (2) of the Act of Accession results in the minimum price and the financial compensation being fixed in respect of Greece at the levels set out below;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
