COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1969/94 of 29 July 1994 fixing until the end of the 1994 marketing year the maximum levels of withdrawal prices for tomatoes grown under glass

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 3669/93 (2), and in particular the last subparagraph of Article 18 (1) thereof,

Having regard to Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3824/92 of 28 December 1992 laying down the prices and amounts fixed in ecus to be amended as a result of the monetary realignments (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1663/93 (4), and in particular Article 2 thereof,

Whereas the market in tomatoes grown under glass has different characteristics from those of the market in open-grown tomatoes; whereas tomatoes grown under glass are mainly 'Extra' class and class I products, the prices for which are considerably higher than those for open-grown products;

Whereas, in order to provide more effective support for the market grown under glass, producers' organizations or associations of such organizations should be allowed to fix their withdrawal price; whereas, in accordance with the last subparagraph of

Article 18

(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, it appears that the maximum level of the withdrawal price for these products can justifiably be fixed by applying, to the prices fixed for the 1993 marketing year a variation of the same order as that applied by the Council when fixing the basic prices and buying-in prices for tomatoes for the 1994 marketing year;

Whereas the maximum levels of withdrawal prices for tomatoes grown under glass for the 1994 marketing year must be reduced by 0,26 %; whereas this reduction is arising from the monetary realignments of January and May 1993;

Whereas the measures provided in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1
