Whereas, under Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 525/77, the minimum price to be paid to producers is to be determined on the basis of the minimum price applicable during the preceding marketing year, and the trend of production costs in the fruit and vegetable sector;

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, if necessary, the pattern of processing cost assessed on a flat-rate basis;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 784/90 of 29 March 1990 fixing the reducing coefficient for agricultural prices in the 1990/91 marketing year as a result of the monetary realignment of 5 January 1990 and amending the prices and amounts fixed in ecus for that marketing year (3) lists the prices and amounts to which the coefficient 1,001712 is applied under the system for the automatic dismantling of negative monetary gaps; whereas the prices and amounts fixed in ecus by the Commission for the 1990/91 marketing year must take account of the reduction resulting therefrom;

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,
