of 18 July 1989
laying down detailed rules for applying the specific measures for nuts and locust beans as pro-
vided for in Title IIa of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the T reaty establishing the European
Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72
of 18 May 1972 on the common organization of the
market in fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Re-
gulation (EEC) No 1119/39 (2), and in particular Article
14g thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85
of 11 June 1985 on the value of the unit of account and
the conversion rates to be applied for the purposes of the
common agricultural policy (3), as last amended by Regula-
tion (EEC) No 1636/87 (4), and in particular Article 5 (3)
thereof,
Whereas Title IIa of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 pro-
vides for various specific measures to make good the inad-
equacy of production and marketing facilities for certain
nuts and locust beans; whereas the aids provided for are
granted to producers’ organizations which have received
specific recognition and which have submitted a plan ap-
proved by the competent national authority for improving
the quality and the marketing of their produce;
Whereas it should be made clear that such specific rec-
ognition is not subject to prior recognition under Article
13 of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72; whereas it is granted
irrespective of the latter once the special conditions laid
down for the granting thereof have been met;
Whereas the conditions laid down for the granting of rec-
ognition must provide some reasonable assurance that the
producers’ organizations receiving Community aid will, by
virtue of the scope and duration of their activities and thevery manner of their operation, help to bring about the
desired improvement in production and marketing facilities
for the products in question; whereas, to ensure that such
producers’ organizations enjoy at least a degree of stability,
minimum limits should be laid down for the number of
members and for the quantities of nuts and locust beans
produced, depending on the characteristics of the various
Community regions; whereas, to the same end, it must be
made a requirement that the statutes of such organizations
are to include clauses which explicitly state that the pro-
ducers are to control the decisions and verify the operation
of the organization and clauses laying down penalties for
any infringement of the agreed rules;

(4) OJ No L 153, 13. 6. 1987, p. 1.
2159/89 - - - I
IIWhereas, in the interests of efficiency and good manage-
ment, the aid granted by the Member State and the Com-
munity towards plans for the improvement of quality and
marketing arrangements should be used only to finance
marginal plantations; whereas the minimum area of a spe-
cialized orchard should even be defined for each region of,
production;
Whereas definitions should be laid down for the types of
measures which may be included in plans where the pri-
mary objective is to improve the quality of production
pursuant to Article 14d of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72;
whereas, although the national authorities will be respon-
sible for approving the plans, there must be consultation
and administrative cooperation with the Commission so
that the aims of the regulations are upheld and so that the
Commission can, if necessary, request alterations to the
draft plan or even refuse to approve the granting ofnational or Community financial aid;
Whereas it should be made clear what measures to devel-
op and improve Community consumption and utilization of
nuts and locust beans will qualify for financial aid from the
Community; whereas, to this end, the plans submitted must
offer some guarantee that they are in the Community in-
terest, that the measures taken will be effective, and that
their direct or indirect impact will be to increase the con-
sumption and utilization of the products concerned; where-
as plans must be submitted by trade bodies or groups with
some technical experience or by representatives of the
economic sectors concerned; whereas, save as otherwise
provided by the Commission, the performance or direct
supervision of the work by the body or group which sub-
mitted the plan may be taken as evidence of the good falth
(SIC! faith) of the parties concluding a contract with the
Commission; whereas it should be stipulated that the vari-
ous rules governing the fulfilment of the undertakings
given are to be laid in a contract;
Whereas certain general rules should be laid down for fi-
nancing the aid to be charged to the EAGGF Guarantee
Section in accordance with Title IIa of Regulation (EEC)
No 1035/72; whereas it should be made clear that Commu-
nity aid may be paid out by the Member State only after,
or at any rate not before, the national aid hasbeen paid
only after the proper checks have been carried out;
2159/89 - - - I
IIIWhereas the aid for implementing plans to improve quality
and marketing arrangements should be paid annually on
the basis of the work actually carried out in accordance
with the approved plans: whereas the maximum amount of
aid per hectare, as fixed by Council Regulation (EEC No
790/89 (1), should be converted into the national currency
concerned at the agricultural conversion rate applicable on
the first day of each marketing year, in accordance with
the provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 1676/85;
Whereas, for the purpose of implementing the various spe-
cific measures in question, the producers’ organizations re-
ceiving the aid must be obliged to transmit detailed and
precise information, at pre-set intervals, to the authority
designated by the Member State so that the said authority
can monitor the fulfilment of the undertakings given by
the producers’ organizations;
Whereas the beneficiaries’ obligation to provide informa-
tion cannot in itself guarantee proper management of the
measures concerned; whereas, therefore, it should be made
clear what verification of documents and on-the-spot
checks are to be made by the national authorities in con-
nection with the various types of aid provided for in Title
IIa of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72;
Whereas the most serious failures to fulfil the obligations
laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 or in this Re-
gulation must be penalized in the appropriate manner;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are
in accordance with the opinion of the Management Com-
mittee for Fruit and Vegetables,

grounds of a wish to extend the surface area covered by
the plan, in particular following an increase in the number
of member producers, and that as from the fourth year
following approval of the plan. The request shall be ac-
companied by a report setting out the changes in the sur-
face area of the orchards of the organization covered by
the plan as a result of new members joining or of the
members leaving since the plan was submitted, and setting
out the progress made in implementing the plan since it
was approved.
The competent authority shall take its decision in respect
of those requests after having carried out an on-the-spot
inspection of the various aspects referred to in the second
subparagraph of paragraph 2 and of the progress made in
implementing the plan, as well as of all supporting docu-
ments in relation to the request to change the plan. A re-port on this inspection shall be attached to the communi-
cation sent to the Commission in accordance with the
abovementioned paragraph.
Under no circumstances may the time limit for the imple-
mentation of the amended plan exceed that originally laid
down.

spot inspections, on the progress being made with the im-
plementation of the approved plan, on whether the work
done complies with the technical and financial require-
ments, and on the accuracy of the supporting documents
submitted.
At least two on-the-spot inspections shall be conducted on
each plan in the course of implementation.
The competent authority shall note any reduction in thesurface area of the orchards covered by the plan that re-
sults from a decrease in the number of members of the
producers’ organization.

forward to the Commission a report on the progress made
in the implementation of the approved plans and on the
outcome of the inspections carried out and shall provide
the Commission with all relevant information should any
difficulties arise in the course of implementation which
could jeopardize fulfilment of the undertakings given bythe producers’ organizations.1304/91
