THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June
1992 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 1866/94 (2), and in particular Article 8
thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1543/93 of 14 June
1993 fixing the amount of the premium paid to producers of potatostarch during the 1993/94, 1994/95 and 1995/96 marketing years (
3), and
in particular Article 3 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1868/94 of 27 July 1994
establishing a quota system in relation to the production of potato
starch (4), and in particular Article 8 thereof,
Whereas Regulation (EC) No 1868/94 lays down a system of quotas for
the production of potato starch which may benefit from Community aid;whereas Member States are to allocate such quotas on the basis ofproduction in a reference period and of investments made by
undertakings producing potato starch before 31 January 1994 which
did not give rise to production in the reference period; whereas bothcriteria are of equal importance; whereas it is necessary to makeprovision for a proportionate adjustment to allocations in order to ensurethat such producers do not exceed a Member State's quota;
Whereas conditions should be set in order to ensure that only genuine
investments which have given rise to more than a minimal increase inproduction before 31 January 1994 should be taken into account byMember States in the allocation of sub-quotas;
Whereas conditions should be included to ensure that the reserve of
1100 00 tonnes, created to cover production in Germany in the
marketing year 1996/97, is used only for cases where the production
results from investments irreversibly undertaken before 31 January 1994and only after exhaustion of any quota made available as a result of thecessation of trading of undertakings producing potato starch;
Whereas it is necessary to specify what matters should be covered by a
cultivation contract between an undertaking producing potato starch and
a producer so as to prevent the conclusion of contracts in excess of the
undertaking's sub-quota; whereas such undertakings should be prohib-ited from accepting delivery of potatoes not covered by a cultivationcontract, as this would put at risk the effectiveness of the quota systemand the requirement that the minimum price under Article 8 (1) of
Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 be paid for all potatoes intended for
starch production; whereas, nevertheless, it should be possible, whereclimatic reasons lead to production in the areas covered by thecultivation contract of a larger quantity of potatoes or of potatoes with ahigher starch content than was originally foreseen, for an undertakingproducing potato starch to accept such potatoes provided that it pays the
minimum price, referred to above;
Whereas potatoes having a starch content of less than 13 % cannot be
considered potatoes intended for the manufacture of potato starch within1995R0097 — EN — 03.11.1998 — 002.001 — 2

(4) OJ No L 197, 30. 7. 1994, p. 4.
▼B
the meaning of Article 8 of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92; whereas
potatoes with a starch content of less than 13 % should not be acceptedby starch producing undertakings; whereas the Commission should,
where climatic reasons lead to a lower starch content, and at the request
of a Member State, be able to authorize the acceptance of potatoeshaving a starch content of not less than 12,8 %;
Whereas, for the sake of clarity, some of the provisions of Regulation
(EEC) No 1543/93 which are compatible with, and necessary for, theapplication of the quota system should be incorporated in this
Regulation;
Whereas it is necessary to define acceptable methods for determining the
underwater weight of potatoes and to provide a table showing thecorresponding starch content and aid payable;
Whereas inspection measures should be introduced to ensure that only
starch produced in accordance with the provisions of this Regulation
gives rise to compensatory payments or to payment of the premium;
Whereas, in order to protect producers of potatoes intended for the
production of starch, it is essential for the minimum price set out inArticle 8 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 to be paid for all potatoes;whereas it is therefore necessary to provide for sanctions where theminimum price has not been paid, or where undertakings have accepted
potatoes not covered by a cultivation contract;
Whereas rules are necessary to ensure that potato starch produced in
excess of an undertaking's sub-quota is exported without export refund,as is required by Article 6 (1) of Regulation (EC) No 1868/94; whereassanctions should be applied in the event of any breach;
Whereas it is necessary to specify what will happen to the sub-quota of
undertakings which merge, change ownership or cease trading;
Whereas, in order to enable the Member States and the Commission to
control the operation of the quota system, the information to becommunicated by undertakings producing potato starch to the MemberState, and by the Member State to the Commission, should be specified;
Whereas, since Regulation (EEC) No 1543/93 is to be repealed with
effect from 1 July 1995, on which date the quota system comes into
operation, Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1711/93 (
1), as amended
by Regulation (EC) No 1993/94 (2), should be repealed;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance
with the opinion of the Management Committee for Cereals,

(c) in the event of the transfer of a starch factory, the Member State
shall reduce the sub-quota of the undertaking transferring ownershipof the factory and increase the sub-quota of the starch-producing
undertaking or undertakings purchasing the factory in question by
the quantity deducted, in proportion to the production absorbed.
2. In the event of the closure, in circumstances other than those
referred to in paragraph 1, of:
(a) a starch-producing undertaking;
(b) one or more factories of a starch-producing undertaking,
the Member State may allocate the sub-quotas involved by such closure
to one or more starch-producing undertakings.
3. In the event of the lease of a factory belonging to a starch-
producing undertaking, the Member State shall reduce the sub-quota ofthe undertaking which offers the factory for rent and shall allocate theportion by which the sub-quota was reduced to the undertaking whichrents the factory in order to produce starch in it.
If the lease is terminated before the term referred to in Article 1 (k), the
adjustment of the sub-quota pursuant to the preceding subparagraphshall be cancelled retroactively by the Member State as from the date onwhich the lease took effect.
4. If, following the application of paragraph 1a, production ceases in
the factories of one or more of the starch-producing undertakings thathave merged, thus seriously threatening the continuing production ofpotatoes for the manufacture of starch in the area which had previouslysupplied this undertaking or these undertakings:
— the Member State may direct the merged undertaking to transfer to
the Member State the sub-quota initially allocated to the enterprise
whose factories have since ceased production, and
— any quota transferred in accordance with the first indent may be
reallocated by the Member State to any starch-producing undertaking
that undertakes to manufacture the starch in the area concerned.

ANNEX I
MethodA
The net weight of the potatoes is determined by taking samples. Samples are
taken from several parts of the means of transport used and at three different
levels, namely the upper, middle and lower levels.
The residual earth is discharged before the means of transport is weighed empty.Samples taken for weight checking should weigh not less than 20 kilograms. The
tubers are washed, cleaned of any extraneous matter and re-weighed.
The recorded weight is reduced by 2 % to allow for the quantity of water
absorbed during washing. The result constitutes the total reduction to be applied
to 1 000 kilograms of potatoes.
MethodB
The potatoes constituting a batch from a single grower are collected in silos.
The potatoes are washed, the extraneous matter is removed and the total actual
weight of the potatoes in the silos is determined, allowing 2 % for absorbed
water.
MethodC
1. This method of determining the actual weight of the potatoes shall apply
where batches of potatoes from different growers are collected in the same
silo, provided that the growers have first agreed to the use of this method.
Before the total actual weight of the batches is determined, the net weight of
each batch must be determined by means of Method A.
2. The potatoes collected in the silo are then washed, the extraneous matter is
removed and their total actual weight is determined, allowing 2 % for
absorbed water.
3. If the total weight of the batches of washed potatoes is different from the sum
of the weights obtained by means of Method A, the following correction is
applied: the total weight mentioned at point 2 above is multiplied by the net
weight obtained by means of Method A for each batch in turn.
Each result is divided by the total net weight of the batches as determined by
means of Method A.1995R0097 — EN — 03.11.1998 — 002.001 — 13
