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 1088/83 (2),

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2194/81 of 27 July 1981 laying down the general rules for the system of production aid for dried figs and dried grapes (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3009/83 (4), and in particular Article 14 thereof,

Whereas Article 4 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2194/81 lays down criteria for fixing the minimum price; whereas Article 8 of the same Regulation lays down the criteria for fixing the amount of production aid; whereas Article 10 (1) and (2) of the same Regulation lays down criteria for fixing the level of storage aid; whereas application of these criteria results in fixing the minimum price and the level of the aid in question at the levels hereinafter stated;

Whereas in the calculation of aid it is presupposed that the processor pays the minimum price payable to the producer; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2236/83 (5) provides for the sale at a price fixed in advance of dried grapes, mainly from the 1983 harvest, which are held by Greek storage agencies; whereas that price is calculated taking into consideration the economic circumstances ruling during the 1982/83 marketing year; whereas a new sale price is fixed by Regulation (EEC) No 3248/83 (6); whereas the production aid to be granted for products bought pursuant to Regulation (EEC) No 2236/83 should be reduced by an amount equal to the difference between the two sale prices;

Whereas Article 4 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 2194/81 lays down that the minimum price is to be fixed for the pilot quality; whereas the level of production aid and storage aid are to be calculated for the corresponding products; whereas, accordingly, the coefficients applicable to the minimum price, to the storage aid and to the production aid should be fixed for the purposes of determining those applicable to other qualities;

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