of 25 July 1984

fixing for the 1984/85 marketing year the production aid for tinned pineapple and the minimum price to be paid to pineapple producers

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 525/77 of 14 March 1977 establishing a system of production aid for tinned pineapple (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2990/78 (2), and in particular Article 4 (2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 525/77 establishes a system of production aid for tinned pineapple processed from pineapples harvested in the Community; whereas the object of such aid is to offset the difference between the Community offer price and the prices charged by third countries for tinned pineapple;

Whereas, under Article 3 of the said Regulation, the granting of such aid is subject to the payment to producers of fresh pineapples of at least a minimum price; whereas that price must be fixed so as to ensure a fair remuneration to the producers concerned,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

For the 1984/85 marketing year, the production aid for tinned pineapple referred to in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 525/77 shall be 49,51 ECU per 100 kilograms including immediate packaging.

Article 2

For the said marketing year, the minimum price referred to in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) No 525/77 shall be 29,88 ECU per 100 kilograms.

Article 3

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

It shall apply with effect from 1 June 1984.

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

Done at Brussels, 25 July 1984.

For the Council

The President
