Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2261/84 (3) specifies the conditions applicable for recognizing associations of producers' organizations and in particular the minimum number of organizations which must belong to the association; whereas experience gleaned in one Member State has shown that, during the first stage of the implementation of the new production aid arrangements, that number was too high;

However, the producers' organizations comprising an association must be from two or more economic regions.
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.

However, in the case of the products referred to in paragraph 2 of that Article, the import duty is to be equal to the intervention price valid for such products on importation and increased by 55 %, minus the cif import price applicable to the consignment in question.
