THE COMMISSION 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 Articles 4 (4) and 5 (5) thereof,

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1277/84 of 8 May 1984 laying down general rules for the system of production aid for processed fruit and vegetables (3) contains provisions as to the methods for determining the production aid;

Whereas, under Article 4 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86, the minimum price to be paid to producers is to be determined on the basis of, firstly, the minimum price applying during the previous marketing year, secondly, the movement of basic prices in the fruit and vegetable sector, and thirdly, the need to ensure the normal marketing of fresh products for the various uses;

Whereas the minimum price to be paid to producers in Spain and Portugal and the production aid for the products obtained are to be determined as provided for in Articles 118 and 304 of the Act of Accession; whereas the representative period for determining the minimum price is laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 461/86 of 25 February 1986 laying down, on account of the accession of Spain and Portugal, rules on the production aid system in respect of processed fruit and vegetables (4);

Whereas Article 5 of the said Regulation lays down the criteria for fixing the amount of production aid; whereas account must, in particular, be taken of the aid fixed for the previous marketing year adjusted to take account of changes in the minimum price to be paid to producers, the non-member country price and, where appropriate the pattern of processing cost assessed on a flat-rate basis;

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:
