Council Regulation (EC) No 2201/96of 28 October 1996on the common organization of the markets in processed fruit and vegetable products THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 42 and 43 thereof,Having regard to the proposal from the CommissionOJ No C 52, 21. 2. 1996, p. 23.,Having regard to the opinion of the European ParliamentOJ No C 96, 1. 4. 1996, p. 276.,Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social CommitteeOJ No C 82, 19. 3. 1996, p. 30.,(1)Whereas various changes are taking place in the fruit and vegetable sector in general of which the Community must take account by a reorientation of the basic rules of the market organization of this sector; whereas as regards certain processed products, account should also be taken of the international market situation; whereas, in view of the numerous changes to which the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables has been subject since its initial adoption, a new Regulation should, for reasons of clarity, be adopted;(2)Whereas certain processed products are of particular importance in the Mediterranean regions of the Community where production prices are noticeably higher than those in third countries; whereas the production aid system based on the signing of contracts guaranteeing regular supplies for the industry in return for the payment of a minimum price to producers, as applied in the past, has stood the test of time and should be continued; whereas, however, like for fresh products, the role of producers' organizations should be strengthened in order to guarantee greater concentration of supply, to manage supply more rationally and lastly, to facilitate monitoring of compliance with the minimum price to producers;(3)Whereas, because of the link which exists between the prices of products intended for fresh consumption and of those intended for processing, it should be enacted that the minimum price to the producer must be determined taking account of market price fluctuations in the fruit and vegetable sector and of the need to maintain a proper balance between the various outlets for the fresh product;(4)Whereas the amount of aid must compensate for the difference between the prices paid to producers in the Community and prices paid in third countries; whereas, therefore, a basis of calculation must be laid down which takes account of this difference and of the impact of changes in the minimum price, without prejudice to the application of certain technical elements;(5)Whereas, because of the large availability of raw materials and the elasticity of processing capacity, the granting of production aid may in certain cases lead to a considerable expansion of production; whereas, in order to avoid the disposal difficulties which could result from this, limitations should be set on the granting of aid, either in the form of a guarantee threshold or a quota system, according to product;(6)Whereas, in view of past experience with regard to tomato-based processed products, a flexible system should be adopted, aimed at increasing the dynamism of undertakings and the competitiveness of Community industry; whereas the quotas per group of products and Member State must be fixed on a flat-rate basis for the first two years of implementation of the new system; whereas the amount of aid for concentrates and their derivatives must be lowered to offset the increased expenditure resulting from the increase in quotas for tomato concentrate and the other products in relation to the old system;(7)Whereas the dried grape sector has some special features which have led to the implementation of a specialized acreage aid system; whereas this system, together with the guaranteed maximum acreage system aimed at avoiding a disproportionate extension of the growing of grapes for the production of dried grapes, must be kept as in the past in the same Regulation;(8)Whereas replanting schemes to combat phylloxera are continuing; whereas, in order to avoid this operation ceasing while large areas still remain to be replanted, the system of aid to producers who replant their vineyards to combat phylloxera should be continued;(9)Whereas, to facilitate the disposal of processed products and better adapt their quality to market demands, the possibility of laying down standards should be provided for;(10)Whereas, for the dried grape and dried fig sectors, the carryover storage system, limited to a certain quantity of dried grapes, must be maintained without prejudice to certain adjustments; whereas purchase price levels should be determined for these two products taking account of the specific features of each of them;(11)Whereas the possibility should be provided of implementing specific measures in favour of certain sectors facing international competition, where their production has major local or regional importance; whereas such measures must include structural improvements aimed at increasing competitiveness and promoting the use of the products in question; whereas for a transitional period provision should be made for aid in a lump sum for area on which asparagus intended for processing is currently grown, given the state of the sector;(12)Whereas in Regulation (EC) No 3290/94OJ No L 349, 31. 12. 1994, p. 105. Regulation as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1193/96 (OJ No L 161, 29. 6. 1996, p. 1). the Council adopted the adjustments and transitional arrangements required in the agricultural sector in order to implement the agreements concluded in the context of the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations, in particular the new trading arrangements with third countries in the processed fruit and vegetable products sector; whereas the provisions of Annex XIV to Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 should be inserted in this Regulation; whereas, however, for the sake of simplicity, recourse should be had to the Commission's exercise of its powers for the implementation of certain technical provisions relating to possible sugar shortages;(13)Whereas the granting of certain aid would compromise the functioning of the single market; whereas, therefore, the provisions of the Treaty whereby aid granted by Member States may be examined and aid which is incompatible with the common market may be prohibited should be extended to cover the sector referred to in this Regulation;(14)Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetablesSee page 1 of this Official Journal. should be applied to the processed fruit and vegetable products sector in order to avoid duplication of standards and monitoring bodies; whereas it is necessary also to provide for sanctions to guarantee uniform application of the new system throughout the Community;(15)Whereas the common organization of the markets in processed fruit and vegetable products must take proper and simultaneous account of the objectives set out in Articles 39 and 110 of the Treaty;(16)Whereas, to facilitate the implementation of the provisions of this Regulation, a procedure for close cooperation between the Member States and the Commission by means of a management committee should be set up,HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 11.This Regulation shall set up a common organization of the markets in processed fruit and vegetables.2.
That common organization shall cover the following products:

TITLE ISystem of aid
Article 2A Community aid scheme is hereby introduced to assist producer organisations supplying tomatoes, peaches and pears harvested in the Community for the production of the processed products listed in Annex I.The list of processed products appearing in Annex I may be revised on the basis of changes in the market, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 29.
Article 31.The scheme referred to in Article 2 shall be based on contracts between, on the one hand, producer organisations recognised or provisionally authorised under Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 and, on the other, processors approved by the competent authorities in the Member States.However, in the course of the 2001/02 marketing year, contracts between processors and individual producers shall also be eligible, for a quantity not exceeding 25 % of the total quantity contracted for by any processor.2.Contracts shall be concluded by a specific date, to be defined in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 29. In particular, they shall specify the quantities they cover, the schedule of supply to the processor and the price to be paid to the producer organisations, and shall require the processor to process the products covered.As soon as they have been signed, the contracts shall be forwarded to the competent authorities in the Member States.3.The producer organisations shall extend the benefit of the provisions of this Article to operators not affiliated to any of the collective structures provided for in Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, who undertake to market through such structures all their output of tomatoes, peaches and pears for processing and who pay a contribution towards the overall management costs of this system borne by the organisation.
Article 41.Aid shall be granted to producer organisations for the quantities of raw materials supplied for processing under the contracts referred to in Article 3.2.The amount of aid shall be:EUR 34,50/tonne for tomatoes,EUR 47,70/tonne for peaches,EUR 161,70/tonne for pears.3.Without prejudice to the application of Article 5, aid shall be paid by the Member States to the producer organisations on request, as soon as the control authorities in the Member State in which processing is carried out have established that the products covered by the contracts have been supplied to the processing industry. The amount of aid received by the producer organisation shall be paid to its members, and where Article 3(3) is applied, to the operators concerned.
Article 51.For each of the products referred to in Article 2, Community and national processing thresholds shall be established as indicated in Annex II.2.Whenever a Community processing threshold is overrun, the aid fixed for the product in question in accordance with Article 4(2) shall be reduced in all the Member States in which the corresponding threshold has been overrun.For the purposes of applying the first subparagraph, threshold overruns shall be calculated by comparing the threshold with the average quantity processed with aid under this Regulation over the three marketing years preceding that for which aid must be set.However, to calculate the overrun of the thresholds fixed for each Member State, any quantities still available below the threshold of a Member State but not processed shall be allocated to the other Member States, in proportion to their respective thresholds.The reduction in aid shall be proportional to the volume of overrun relative to the relevant threshold.3.For tomatoes, and by way of derogation from the second subparagraph of paragraph 2, the following arrangements shall apply to the first three marketing years immediately following implementation of this Regulation:(a)for the first marketing year:overrun of the processing threshold shall be calculated on the basis of the quantity supplied for processing with aid during the year, andthe aid fixed in Article 4(2) shall be reduced to EUR 31,36/tonne. However, in the Member States where the threshold has not been overrun, or where it has been overrun by less than 10 %, and in all Member States concerned if the Community threshold has not been overrun, a supplement shall be paid after the end of the marketing year. The supplement shall be fixed on the basis of the actual overrun of the threshold concerned;(b)for the second marketing year, overrun of the processing threshold shall be calculated on the basis of the quantity supplied for processing with aid during the first year;(c)for the third marketing year, overrun of the processing threshold shall be calculated on the basis of the average quantity supplied for processing with aid during the first and second years.4.Member States may divide the national threshold for tomatoes into two sub-thresholds, namely tomatoes for processing into whole peeled tomatoes and those for processing into other tomato products.Member States which take up this option shall inform the Commission thereof.If the national threshold is overrun, the reduction in aid provided for in paragraph 2 shall be applied to the aid for both sub-thresholds in proportion to the recorded overrun of the sub-threshold concerned.
Article 61.Detailed rules for the application of Articles 2 to 5, and in particular rules governing approval of processors, conclusion of processing contracts, payment of aid, control measures and sanctions, marketing years, minimum characteristics of the raw material supplied for processing, minimum quality requirements for finished products and the financial consequences of overrunning thresholds, shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 29.2.Quality and quantity checks shall also be adopted in accordance with that procedure to verify:that the products supplied to processors by producer organisations meet requirements, andthat the products supplied have actually been processed into products listed in Annex I.
Article 6a1.A production aid scheme shall be applied:(a)to dried figs falling within CN code 08042090,(b)to prunes derived from dried "d'Ente" plums falling within CN code ex08132000,obtained from fruit harvested in the Community.2.Production aid shall be granted to processors who have paid producers for their raw materials a price not less than the minimum price under contracts between, on the one hand, producer organisations recognised or provisionally authorised under Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 and, on the other, processors.However, in the course of the 2001/02 marketing year, contracts between processors and individual producers shall also be eligible, for a quantity not exceeding 25 % of the quantity giving entitlement to production aid.The producer organisations shall extend the benefit of the provisions of this Article to operators not affiliated to any of the collective structures provided for in Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, who undertake to market through such structures all their output intended for the manufacture of the products referred to in paragraph 1 and who pay a contribution towards the overall management costs of this system borne by the organisation.Contracts must be signed before the start of the marketing year.
Article 6b1.The minimum price to be paid to producers shall be calculated on the basis of:(a)the minimum price applying during the previous marketing year;(b)the movement of market prices in the fruit and vegetables sector;(c)the need to ensure normal market disposal of basic fresh products for the various uses, including supply to the processing industry.2.Minimum prices shall be fixed before the start of each marketing year.3.Minimum prices and detailed rules for the application of this Article shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 29.
Article 6c1.The production aid may not exceed the difference between the minimum price paid to the producer in the Community and the price of the raw material in the main producing and exporting third countries.2.The amount of production aid shall be so fixed as to enable the Community product to be disposed of, within the limit set in paragraph 1.To establish this amount, account shall be taken in particular:(a)of the difference between the cost of the raw material in the Community and that in the major competing third countries;(b)of the amount of aid fixed for the previous marketing year,and(c)where Community output of a product accounts for a substantial share of the market, movements in external trade volumes and in the prices obtaining in such trade, where the latter criterion results in a reduction in the amount of the aid.3.The production aid shall be fixed in terms of the net weight of the processed product. The coefficients expressing the relationship between the weight of raw material used and the net weight of the processed product shall be defined on a standardised basis. They shall be regularly updated on the basis of experience.4.Production aid shall be granted to processors only for processed products which:(a)have been produced from raw materials harvested in the Community, for which the applicant has paid at least the minimum price referred to in Article 6a(2);(b)meet minimum quality requirements.5.The price of the raw material in the main competing third countries shall be determined mainly on the basis of the prices actually applying at the farm-gate stage for fresh products of a comparable quality used for processing, weighted on the basis of the quantities of finished products exported by those third countries.6.Where Community production accounts for at least 50 % of the quantities of a product making up the Community consumption market, movements in volumes and prices of imports and exports shall be assessed by comparing the data for the calendar year preceding the start of the marketing year with the data for the previous calendar year.7.The Commission shall fix the amount of the production aid before the start of each marketing year, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 29. The coefficients referred to in paragraph 3, the minimum quality requirements and the other detailed rules for the application of this Article shall be adopted in accordance with the same procedure.
Article 71.Aid shall be granted for the cultivation of grapes intended for the production of dried grapes of the sultana and Moscatel varieties and currants.The amount of the aid shall be fixed per hectare of specialized area harvested on the basis of the average yield per hectare of the area concerned. In addition, the amount of the aid shall be fixed to take account of:(a)the need to ensure that the areas traditionally used to grow the said crops are maintained;(b)the outlets available for these dried grapes.The amount of aid may be differentiated according to grape variety and other factors which may affect yield.2.A maximum guaranteed Community area is hereby introduced for each marketing year equal to the average of the areas in the Community used for the crops referred to in paragraph 1 in the marketing years 1987/1988, 1988/1989 and 1989/1990. If the specialized areas used for the production of dried grapes exceed the maximum guaranteed Community area, the amount of the aid shall be reduced for the following marketing year according to the extent by which that area is exceeded.For Cyprus the marketing years 1995/96, 1996/97 and 1999/2000 are the reference years for establishing the maximum guaranteed Community area referred to in the first sub-paragraph.3.The aid shall be granted once the areas have been harvested and the products have been dried for processing.4.Producers who replant their vineyards to combat phylloxera and who are not in receipt of aid provided for under structural measures against that disease chargeable to the Guidance Section of the EAGGF shall be entitled, during three marketing years, to aid of an amount determined in the light of the amount of the aid referred to in paragraph 1 and of the amount of aid granted under the said structural measures. In this case, paragraph 3 shall not apply.5.Before the beginning of each marketing year, the Commission shall fix the amount of the aid in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 29. In accordance with the same procedure, it shall lay down the detailed rules for the application of this Article and determine, as necessary, the extent to which the maximum guaranteed area has been exceeded and the consequent reduction in the amount of aid.
Article 8Common standards may be introduced for the products listed in Article 7 (1) and those listed in Annex I, intended either for consumption in the Community or for export to third countries, in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 29.
Article 91.During the last two months of a marketing year, the agencies approved by the Member States concerned, hereinafter referred to as "storage agencies", may buy in sultanas, currants and dried figs produced in the Community during the current marketing year provided the products comply with quality standards to be determined.The quantities of sultanas and currants bought in under paragraph 2 may not exceed 27930 tonnes.2.The buying-in price at which storage agencies buy in the products referred to in paragraph 1 shall be:(a)in the case of dried figs, the minimum price for the lowest quality class, less 5 %;(b)in the case of sultanas and currants, the buying-in price in force during the 1994/1995 marketing year, adjusted each year in line with the change in the minimum import price referred to in Article 13 or, from the year 2000, in world prices.3.The products bought in by the storage agencies shall be disposed of on terms which do not jeopardize the balance of the market and which ensure equal access to the products for sale and equal treatment of purchasers.Where products cannot be disposed of on normal terms, special measures may be taken. In that case, a special security may be required to ensure that undertakings entered into are fulfilled, in particular those relating to the destination of the product. The security shall be forfeit, in full or in part, if undertakings are not fulfilled or are fulfilled only in part.4.Storage aid shall be granted to storage agencies for the quantities of products which they have bought in and for the actual duration of storage. However, the aid shall cease to be granted at the end of a period of eighteen months following the end of the marketing year during which the product was bought in.5.Financial compensation equal to the difference between the buying-in price paid by storage agencies and the selling price shall be granted to storage agencies. This compensation shall be reduced by the amount of any profits resulting from the difference between the buying-in price and the selling price.6.For the purposes of applying paragraph 1, Member States shall approve storage agencies which provide adequate guarantees both that they can store products under satisfactory technical conditions and that they can satisfactorily manage the products bought in.These agencies shall be required in particular to store products bought in on separate premises and to keep separate accounts for those products.7.The sale of products bought in under paragraph 1 shall be organized by invitation to tender or at a price fixed in advance.Tenders submitted shall be taken into account only where a security is lodged.8.The buying-in price referred to in paragraph 2 and detailed rules for the application of this Article, in particular the arrangements for storage aid, financial compensation and the buying-in and sale of products by storage agencies shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 29.
Article 101.In the case of products covered by Article 1 (2) which are of major economic or ecological importance at local or regional level and are facing, in particular, strong international competition, special measures to promote them and enhance their competitiveness may be taken in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 29.Such measures may include, in particular:(a)action to improve the suitability for processing of products harvested and to adapt their characteristics to the needs of the processing industry;(b)action to perfect the scientific and technical aspects of new operational methods and procedures with a view to improving quality and/or reducing production costs for processed products;(c)action relating to the development of new products and/or new uses for processed products;(d)the carrying out of economic and market studies;(e)action to promote the consumption and use of the products concerned.2.The measures provided for in paragraph 1 shall be carried out by producer organizations or their associations recognized under Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, in association with organizations representing operators which process and/or market the product(s) in the sector concerned.3.To facilitate the introduction of the specific measures aimed at improving competitiveness referred to in paragraph 1 with regard to asparagus, a flat-rate aid of ECU 500 per hectare for a maximum of 9000 hectares shall be granted under this Article during the first three years after the implementation of those measures.4.Detailed rules for the application of this Article, and in particular for ensuring the compatibility and complementarity of the measures provided for in this Article with those adopted under Article 17 of Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, on the one hand, and with the measures financed under Articles 2, 5 and 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 4256/88Council Regulation (EEC) No 4256/88 of 19 December 1988, laying down provisions for implementing Regulation (EEC) No 2052/88 as regards the EAGGF Guidance Section (OJ No L 374, 31. 12. 1977, p. 25. Regulation as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2085/93 (OJ No L 193, 31. 7. 1993, p. 44)., on the other, shall be adopted in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 29.
TITLE IITrade with third countries
