COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1925/84

of 5 July 1984

fixing for the 1984/85 marketing year the minimum price to be paid to producers and the amount of production aid for certain products processed from fruit and vegetables

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, in respect of tomato concentrates and preserved whole tomatoes, the volume of imports makes the third country price unrepresentative; whereas the production aid for these products must be calculated by reference to a price based on the Community market price;

Whereas Article 1 (1) of Council Regulation (EEC) No 989/84 (3) fixed as the guarantee threshold for each year a quantity of processed tomato products corresponding to 4 700 000 tonnes of fresh tomatoes; whereas Community production calculated in accordance with Article 2 (2) of that Regulation exceeds the threshold for the 1983/84 marketing year and the production of tomato concentrates is higher than the quantity specified in the second subparagraph of Article 1 (1) of the same Regulation; whereas the production aid for the 1984/85 marketing year must be reduced for tomato concentrates pursuant to Article 2 (1) of the same Regulation;

Whereas, as regards Greece, pursuant to Article 103 of the Act of Accession and until the first move towards 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 (4); 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 (5) 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 1984/85 marketing year:

(a) the minimum prices referred to in Article 3b of Regulation (EEC) No 516/77 to be paid to producers for the products listed in Annex I hereto, and

(b) the production aid referred to in Article 3c of the same Regulation for the products listed in Annex II hereto

shall be as set out in the said Annexes.

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.
