COUNCIL REGULATION (EC)No 2201/96
of 28 October 1996
on 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 EconomicCommunity, and in particular Articles 42 and 43thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission(
1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament(2),
HavingregardtotheopinionoftheEconomicandSocialCommittee(3),
(1)Whereas various changes are taking place in the fruit and
vegetable sector in general of which the Community must takeaccount by a reorientation of the basic rules of the market organ-ization of this sector; whereas as regards certain processed prod-ucts, account should also be taken of the international marketsituation;whereas,inviewofthenumerouschangestowhichthecommon organization of the market in fruit and vegetables hasbeen subject since its initial adoption, a new Regulation should,for reasons of clarity, be adopted;
(2)Whereas certain processed products are of particular importanceintheMediterraneanregionsoftheCommunitywhereproductionpricesarenoticeablyhigherthanthoseinthirdcountries;whereasthe production aid system based on the signing of contractsguaranteeing regular supplies for the industry in return for thepayment 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’ organ-izations should be strengthened in order to guarantee greaterconcentration of supply, to manage supply more rationally andlastly, to facilitate monitoring of compliance with the minimumprice to producers;
(3)Whereas, because of the link which exists between the prices ofproducts intended for fresh consumption and of those intendedforprocessing,itshouldbeenactedthattheminimumpricetotheproducer must be determined taking account of market pricefluctuations in the fruit and vegetable sector and of the need tomaintain a proper balance between the various outlets for thefresh product;
(4)Whereas the amount of aid must compensate for the differencebetween the prices paid to producers in the Community andprices paid in third countries; whereas, therefore, a basis ofcalculation must be laid down which takes account of this differ-ence and of the impact of changes in the minimum price, withoutprejudice to the application of certain technical elements;
(5)Whereas, because of the large availability of raw materials andthe elasticity of processing capacity, the granting of productionaid may in certain cases lead to a considerable expansion ofproduction; whereas, in order to avoid the disposal difficultieswhich could result from this, limitations should be set on thegranting of aid, either in the form of a guarantee threshold or aquota system, according to product;

(6)Whereas, in view of past experience with regard to tomato-based
processedproducts,aflexiblesystemshouldbeadopted,aimedatincreasingthedynamismofundertakingsandthecompetitivenessof Community industry; whereas the quotas per group of prod-ucts and Member State must be fixed on a flat-rate basis for thefirst two years of implementation of the new system; whereas theamount of aid for concentrates and their derivatives must belowered to offset the increased expenditure resulting from theincrease in quotas for tomato concentrate and the other productsin relation to the old system;
(7)Whereas the dried grape sector has some special features whichhave led to the implementation of a specialized acreage aidsystem; whereas this system, together with the guaranteedmaximum acreage system aimed at avoiding a disproportionateextension of the growing of grapes for the production of driedgrapes, must be kept as in the past in the same Regulation;
(8)Whereas replanting schemes to combat phylloxera arecontinuing; whereas, in order to avoid this operation ceasingwhilelargeareasstillremaintobereplanted,thesystemofaidtoproducers who replant their vineyards to combat phylloxerashould be continued;
(9)Whereas, to facilitate the disposal of processed products andbetter adapt their quality to market demands, the possibility oflaying down standards should be provided for;
(10)Whereas, for the dried grape and dried fig sectors, the carryoverstoragesystem,limitedtoacertainquantityofdriedgrapes,mustbe maintained without prejudice to certain adjustments; whereaspurchase price levels should be determined for these two prod-ucts taking account of the specific features of each of them;
(11)Whereas the possibility should be provided of implementingspecific measures in favour of certain sectors facing internationalcompetition, where their production has major local or regionalimportance; whereas such measures must include structuralimprovements aimed at increasing competitiveness andpromoting the use of the products in question; whereas for atransitional period provision should be made for aid in a lumpsum for area on which asparagus intended for processing iscurrently grown, given the state of the sector;
(12)Whereas in Regulation (EC) No 3290/94(1) the Council adopted
the adjustments and transitional arrangements required in theagricultural sector in order to implement the agreementsconcluded in the context of the Uruguay Round of multilateraltrade negotiations, in particular the new trading arrangementswith third countries in the processed fruit and vegetable productssector; whereas the provisions of Annex XIV to Regulation (EC)No 3290/94 should be inserted in this Regulation; whereas,however,forthesakeofsimplicity,recourseshouldbehadtotheCommission’s exercise of its powers for the implementation ofcertain technical provisions relating to possible sugar shortages;
(13)Whereas the granting of certain aid would compromise the func-tioningofthesinglemarket;whereas,therefore,theprovisionsofthe Treaty whereby aid granted by Member States may be exam-inedandaidwhichisincompatiblewiththecommonmarketmaybe prohibited should be extended to cover the sector referred toin this Regulation;
(14)Whereas Council Regulation (EC) No 2200/96 of 28 October1996 on the common organization of the market in fruit andvegetables(
2) should be applied to the processed fruit and
vegetable products sector in order to avoid duplication of stan-dards and monitoring bodies; whereas it is necessary also to

TITLE I
System of aid
Article 2
1. A system of production aid shall apply to the products listed in
Annex I obtained from fruit and vegetables harvested in theCommunity.
1996R2201 — EN — 21.11.1996 — 000.001 — 6
▼B
2. Production aid shall be granted to processors who have paidproducers for their raw materials a price not less than the minimumprice under contracts between, on the one side, producer organizationsrecognized or provisionally authorized under Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, and processors on the other.
However, during the five marketing years following the application of
this Regulation, contracts may also be between processors and indi-vidual producers, for a quantity not exceeding, for each year respec-tively, 75%, 65%, 55%, 40% and 25% of the quantity giving entitle-ment to production aid.
The producer organizations shall extend the benefit of the provisions of
this Article to operators not affiliated to any of the collective structuresprovided for in Regulation (EC) No 2200/96, who undertake to marketthrough such structures all their output intended for the manufacture ofthe products referred to in Annex I and who pay a contribution towardsthe overall management costs of this system borne by the organization.
Contracts must be signed before the start of the marketing year.
Article 3
1. 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 provided forin Article 29.
Article 4
1. The production aid may not exceed the difference between the
minimum price paid to the producer in the Community and the price ofthe 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 paragraph1. In establishing the amount of the aid, without prejudice to theapplication of Article 5, account shall be taken in particular of:
(a) the difference between the price of the raw material in the
Community and that obtaining in the major competing third coun-tries;
(b) the amount of the aid fixed or calculated before the reduction
provided for in paragraph 10, if applicable, for the previousmarketing year; and
(c) where Community production of a product accounts for a substan-
tial share of the market, trends in the volume of external trade andin the prices obtaining in such trade, where the latter criterionresults 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 betweenthe weight of raw material used and the net weight of the processedproductshallbedefinedonastandardizedbasis.Theyshallberegularlyupdated 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 minimumprice refered to in Article 3;
1996R2201 — EN — 21.11.1996 — 000.001 — 7
▼B
(b) meet minimum quality requirements.
5. The price of the raw material in main competing third countries
shall be determined mainly on the basis of the prices actually applyingat the farm-gate stage for fresh products of a comparable quality usedfor processing, weighted on the basis of the quantities of finishedproducts 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,the trends in prices and the quantities of imports and exports shall beassessed by comparing the data for the calendar year preceding the startof the marketing year with the data for the previous calendar year.
7. In the case of products processed from tomatoes, the production
aid shall be calculated for:
(a) tomato concentrate falling within CN code 200290;
(b) whole peeled tomatoes obtained from the San Marzano variety or
similar varieties and falling within CN code 200210;
(c) whole peeled tomatoes obtained from the Roma or similar varieties
and falling within CN code 200210;
(d) tomato juice falling within CN code 200950.
8. The production aid for other products processed from tomatoes
shall be derived, as appropriate, either from the aid calculated fortomato concentrate, with account being taken in particular of the dryextract content of the product, or from the aid calculated for wholepeeled tomatoes obtained from the Roma or similar varieties, withaccount being taken in particular of the commercial characteristics ofthe product.
9. The Commission shall fix the amount of the production aid before
the start of each marketing year, in accordance with the procedure laiddown in Article 29. The coefficients referred to in paragraph 3, theminimum quality requirements and the other detailed rules for theapplication of this Article shall be adopted in accordance with the sameprocedure.
(10) For products processed from tomatoes, the overall expenditure
must not exceed, for each marketing year, the amount that would havebeen reached if the French and Portuguese quotas for concentrates forthe 1997/1998marketing year had been set as follows:
France: 224323 tonnesPortugal: 670451 tonnes.
To that end, the aid fixed for tomato concentrates and their derivatives
in accordance with paragraph 9 shall be reduced by 5,37%. A supple-ment may be paid after the marketing year if the increase in French andPortuguese quotas is not entirely used up.
Article 5
1. A guarantee threshold for the whole Community is hereby intro-
ducedforeachmarketingyearfortheproductsreferredtobelow.Whentheguaranteethresholdisexceeded,theproductionaidshallbereduced.The guarantee threshold shall be:
(a) 582000 tonnes net weight for peaches in syrup and/or natural fruit
juice,
(b) 102805 tonnes net weight for Williams and Rocha pears in syrup
and/or natural fruit juice.
2. Theamountbywhichthethresholdsreferredtoinparagraph1are
exceeded shall be calculated on the basis of the average quantitiesproduced in the three marketing years preceding the marketing year forwhich the production aid is to be fixed. Where the guarantee thresholdisexceeded,theaidforthefollowingmarketingyearshallbereducedinproportion to the amount by which the threshold is exceeded.
1996R2201 — EN — 21.11.1996 — 000.001 — 8

Article 6
1. A quota system is hereby introduced for granting production aid
for products processed from tomatoes. The production aid shall belimited to a volume of processed products corresponding to a weight of6836262tonnes of fresh tomatoes.
2. The volume of processed products referred to in paragraph 1 shall
be apportioned every five years among three separate product groups,namely tomato concentrate, tinned whole peeled tomatoes and otherproducts, on the basis of the average quantities of products in eachgroup produced in compliance with minimum prices during the fivemarketing years preceding the marketing year for which the apportion-ment is made.
However,thefirstapportionment,forthe1997/1998marketingyearand
for the subsequent four marketing years, shall be as follows:
— tomato concentrate: 4585253 tonnes— tinned whole peeled tomatoes: 1336119 tonnes— other products: 914890 tonnes.
3. The quantity of fresh tomatoes, determined in accordance with
paragraph 2 for each product group, shall be shared out each yearamong the Member States according to the average quantities producedin compliance with minimum prices during the three marketing yearspreceding the marketing year for which the allocation is made.
However, the apportionment for the 1997/1998 and 1998/
1999marketing years shall be as indicated in Annex III to this Regula-tion.
For the 1999/2000marketing year, the apportionment shall be on the
basis of the average quantities produced in compliance with minimumprices during the 1997/1998 and 1998/1999marketing years.
From the 1999/2000marketing year onward, no apportionment under
this paragraph may result in a variation, by Member State and byproduct group, of more than 10% from one marketing year to the next.Where an apportionment is made under paragraph 2, that percentageshall be calculated on the basis of the quantities in the previousmarketing year adjusted by the coefficients of variation resulting, foreach group of products, from that apportionment.
4. Member States shall share out the quantities allocated to them
between the processing undertakings established on their territoryaccording to the average quantities produced in compliance withminimum prices during the three marketing years preceding themarketing year for which the allocation is made, excluding 1996/1997,which shall not be taken into consideration.
However, for the first three apportionments, for the marketing years
1997/1998, 1998/1999 and 1999/2000, the quantities taken into accountinrespectofthemarketingyears1993/1994,1994/1995and1995/1996,shall be the quantities actually produced.
5. From the marketing year 1999/2000 onward, the apportionments
referredtoinparagraphs2and3shallbecarriedoutinaccordancewiththe procedure laid down in Article 29. The detailed rules for theapplication of this Article shall be adopted in accordance with the sameprocedure. They shall include, in particular, rules applying to undertak-ings that have been in business for less than three years, to newundertakings and in cases of mergers or transfers of undertakings.
Article 7
1. Aid shall be granted for the cultivation of grapes intended for the
production of dried grapes of the sultana and Moscatel varieties andcurrants.
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
eachmarketingyearequaltotheaverageoftheareasintheCommunityused for the crops referred to in paragraph 1 in the marketing years1987/1988, 1988/1989 and 1989/1990. If the specialized areas used forthe production of dried grapes exceed the maximum guaranteedCommunity area, the amount of the aid shall be reduced for thefollowing marketing year according to the extent by which that area isexceeded.
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 measuresagainst that disease chargeable to the Guidance Section of the EAGGFshall be entitled, during three marketing years, to aid of an amountdeterminedinthelightoftheamountoftheaidreferredtoinparagraph1 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 laiddown in Article 29. In accordance with the same procedure, it shall laydownthedetailedrulesfortheapplicationofthisArticleanddetermine,as necessary, the extent to which the maximum guaranteed area hasbeen exceeded and the consequent reduction in the amount of aid.
