COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 2288/91 of 30 July 1991 fixing for the 1991/92 marketing year the minimum price to be paid to producers for peaches and the amount of production aid for peaches in syrup and/or natural fruit juice

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 1943/91 (2), and in particular Articles 4 (4) and 5 (5) thereof,

Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1206/90 (3), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2202/90 (4), lays down general rules for the system of production aid for processed fruit and vegetables;

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 vegetables sector, and thirdly, the need to ensure the normal marketing of fresh products for the various uses, including supply of the processing industry;

Whereas Article 5 of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 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 and the difference between the cost of the raw material in the Community and in the major competing third countries;

Whereas Article 4 of Regulation (EEC) No 1206/90 provides for the establishment of a system of monetary adjustment with the aim of correcting production aid by the impact, on the minimum price minus the aid, of the differences between the agricultural conversion rate and the average of the market exchange rates during a period to be determined; whereas, in view of the current market situation and in order to ensure normal competition with third countries, such a system of adjustment should be implemented by applying a coefficient to the aid;

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 (5); whereas the application of these provisions leads to the result that the minimum prices and the aid to be fixed for Portugal are the same as those to be fixed for the other Member States, other than Spain;

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:

Article 1

3. The coefficients calculated in accordance with paragraph 1 shall be as set out in Annex II.
