COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1662/84

of 13 June 1984

fixing for the 1984/85 marketing year the minimum price to be paid to producers for cherries and the amount of production aid for cherries preserved in syrup

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,

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 988/84 (2), and in particular Articles 3b and 3c thereof,

Whereas, under Article 3b (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 516/77, the minimum price to be paid to producers is to be determined for the Member States other than Greece on the basis of:

(a) the minimum price applying during the previous marketing year;

(b) the movement of basic prices in the fruit and vegetable sector;

(c) the need to ensure the normal marketing of fresh products for the various uses;

Whereas Article 3c of the said Regulation lays down the criteria for fixing the amount of production aid; whereas the volume of imports of cherries in syrup makes the non-member country price unrepresentative; whereas the production aid must be calculated by reference to a price based on the Community market price;

Whereas, as regards Greece, pursuant to Article 103 of the Act of Accession and until the first move towards the alignment of prices, the minimum price to be paid to Greek producers is to be established on the basis of prices paid in Greece to national producers, over the reference period defined in Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 41/81 (3); whereas that price must be aligned with the level of the common prices pursuant to Article 59 of the Act of Accession;

Whereas, as regards Greece, the said Article 103 and Council Regulation (EEC) No 990/84 (4) lay down the criteria for fixing the amount of production aid;

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,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

For the marketing year 1984/85:

(a) the minimum price referred to in Article 3b of Regulation (EEC) No 516/77 to be paid to producers, and

(b) the production aid referred to in Article 3c of the same Regulation

shall, in respect of cherries and cherries preserved in syrup, be as set out in the Annex.

Article 2

1. The aid provided for in respect of Greece shall be applicable to all production of processed products obtained from produce grown in Greece.

2. Where processing takes place outside the Member State in which the produce was grown, such Member State shall furnish proof to the Member State paying the production aid that the minimum price payable to the producer has been paid.

Article 3

This Regulation shall enter into force on the 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.
