COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1993/94 of 1 August 1994 amending Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1711/93 as regards the minimum price and compensatory payment to be paid to potato producers, and the premium to be paid to manufacturers of potato starch for the 1994/95 marketing year

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as amended by Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2193/93 (2), and in particular Article 8 thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1543/93 of 28 June 1993 fixing the amount of the premium granted to producers of potato starch for the 1993/94, 1994/95 and 1995/96 marketing year (3), and in particular Article 3 thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1709/93 (4) adjusts the prices and amounts fixed in ecus in the cereals sector;

Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1711/93 (5) lays down detailed rules of application as regards the premium paid to producers of potato starch and the minimum price and compensatory payment to be paid to producers of potatoes intended for the manufacture of starch, on the basis of the starch content of the potatoes; whereas the amounts fixed in that Regulation should be adjusted for the 1994/95 marketing year;

Whereas the premium is paid to offset structural difficulties faced by the potato starch industry; whereas provision should be made to ensure that the minimum price is actually paid to growers in order to prevent any unfair competition which might disturb the starch market as a result of potatoes being supplied at a reduced price; whereas this cannot be achieved during the 1994/95 marketing year by measures designed to control production levels;

Whereas to this end it is appropriate to tighten the sanctions already provided for by making payment of the premium subject to proof that the minimum price has actually been paid for all the raw material applied; whereas the scale of sanctions should be amended accordingly, while observing the principles of proportionality and freedom of choice for operators;

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

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Annex II to Regulation (EEC) No 1711/93 is hereby replaced by the Annex to this Regulation.
