COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1127/89 of 27 April 1989 amending Regulation (EEC) No 2245/88 introducing a guarantee threshold system for peaches in syrup

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 of 24 February 1986 on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1125/89 (2), and in particular Article 2 (3) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (3),

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 introduced a system of production aid for certain processed fruit and vegetable products; whereas, if a major imbalance between production and market outlets as mentioned in the said Article 2 (3) arises, appropriate measures may be taken;

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 991/84 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 485/86 (5), has already restricted the granting of the production aid where Williams pears preserved in syrup are concerned; whereas a Community guarantee threshold arrangement for pears in syrup of the varieties Williams and Rocha should be introduced of the same type as introduced for peaches in syrup by Regulation (EEC) No 2245/88 (6); whereas the threshold is to be determined on the basis of the quantities of Williams pears for which the production aid is granted and of the production volume for the Rocha variety in Portugal; whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2245/88 should in consequence be supplemented and Regulation (EEC) No 991/84 repealed,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1 Regulation (EEC) No 2245/88 is hereby amended as follows:

1. The title is replaced by the following:

´Council Regulation (EEC) No 2245/88 of 19 July 1988 introducing guarantee threshold systems for peaches and pears in syrup and/or in natural fruit juice'.
