1. Article 2 (2) is deleted.
2. Article 2 (3) is replaced by the following:
´3. The financial compensation shall be paid to the parties concerned, on application, for products of Community origin once the processor provides proof that for a given marketing year those quantities were obtained from lemons covered by the abovementioned contracts and in respect of which a price at least equal to the minimum price was paid.'
Article 2 This Regulation shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply with effect from 1 December 1988.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Having regard to Council Directive 92/34/EEC of 28 April 1992 on the marketing of fruit plant propagating material and fruit plants, intended for fruit production (1), and in particular the second subparagraph of Article 16(2) thereof,
Whereas:
(1)
The Commission is required pursuant to Article 16(1) of Directive 92/34/EEC to decide whether fruit plant propagating material and fruit plants produced in a third country and affording the same guarantees as regards obligations on the supplier, identity, characteristics, plant health, growing medium, packaging, inspection arrangements, marking and sealing are equivalent in all these respects to fruit plant propagating material and fruit plants produced in the Community and complying with the requirements and conditions of that Directive.
