(presented bytheCommission totheCouncil)
COM(81)402final

proposal foraCouncil Regulation amending Regulation (EEC)No2511/69
laying down special measures forimproving theproduction andmarketing of
Community citrus fruit .
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM -
On9December 1969 »theCouncil ,initsRegulation 2511/69,adopted special
measures forimproving production andmarketing intheCommunity citrus
fruit sector .Ananalysis ofthemarket situation inthis sector andparti­
cularly that oforanges andmandarins showed that there were ,infact ,severe
difficulties ofdisposal ,due first ofall tothevarietal composition of
production ,which didnotmeet thequality requirements ofCommunity
'buyers ,and secondly to alack ofmarketing andprocessing equipment
for -the3e citrus fruit s.
Asaresult ,Regulation 2511/69introduced ontheonehand medium term
measures atthe level ofproduction andmarketing structures ,and ,onthe
other hand ,"thegranthg ofamarketing premium tosellers intheproducer
Member States forcitrus fruit sold intheremainder ofthe Community .The
marketing premium isfinanced bytheGuarantee Section oftheEAGCF .By
contrast ,theGuidance Section pays 50$ofthecost ofthemedium term
measures which are thesubject ofaplan submitted bytheproducer Member
States andapproved bythe Commission .
Thus in1972 acitrus fruit plan presented byPrance andenvisaging an
eligible expenditure amounting to2.46 MUC . and acitrus fruit plan
presented byItaly andcomprising aneligible expenditure amounting to289MUC .
were approved . »
By31.12.1979 ,thetotal commitments oftheMember States were estimated at
0.57 MUC forFrance andat65MUC forItaly .
Oftheeligible amounts approved in1972 ,over 220MUCremains ,half of
which ,110MUC ,istheresponsibility oftheEAGGF .
Ananalysis oftheavailable information shows that theimplementation of
themedium term measures metwith very bigdifficulties inItaly ,the

Member State where theproblem ismost acute .Whereas over 42,000 haof
oranges andmandarins areestimated tobeinneed of conversion there ,
itintobenoted that inreality the total area converted orforwhich
arequest for :conversion wasmade ,amounted to.less thane one–fifth ofthis )Furthermore .Iscarcely onethird ofproducers applying these measures have been able to
benefit from thecomplementary aiddestined ,tofacilitate conversion
through partially compensating small farmers forlosses during theperiod
ofnon–production .
Inthemeantime thedisposal possibilities ofthese products onCommunity
markets have not improved .
This record shows that theaim ofupgrading theagricultural production of
theCommunity through theapplication ofRegulation 2511/69hasnotbeen
achieved#
The main reason for this state ofaffairs arises because ofthe existence
oftwo adverse factors which have had acumulative effect
–theinsufficient incentive effect oftheamounts fixed intheRegulation
forthecomplementary aidand ofthose envisaged for conversion
–therestrictions imposed bythe Regulation onthegranting ofthe
complementary aid for conversion .
Furthermore theproductivity and therefore thecompetitivity ofnumerous
farms which are not inneed ofreconversion hassubstantially deteriorated
owing tostructural shortcomings , «r
Thecurrent proposal aims toadapt certain provisions ofRegulation 2511/69
inaccordance with theexperience gained andinthelight ofexisting ,
conditions .
Theproposed amendments mainly concern
.^
–theextension ofthescope ofthemedium term measures toinclude lemons ,
soastoenable Community producers toprepare themselves tomeet the
increased competition arising from theenlargement ,especially insofar
asquality isconcerned ;
–thegeographic limitation ofthearea ofapplication ofthemedium term
measures tothose Member States which areexperiencing major problems as
regards thevarietal composition ofproduction *

3.-
–therelaxation ofconditions domanded aaregards thecomplementary
aidwhich naybogiven tosmall farmers whoundertake oonvoraion
oftheir orchards .
Acong these ,the >most restrictive condition wasthat .
■farming hadtobethemain occupation .Because ofthis ,producers who
hadundertaken anon-agricultural activity inorder toassure themselves
ofanadequate total income ,were notable toreconvert their orchard
nir .ee this reconversion meant .*the lossr 6ftheir agricultural •
income forseveral years .
TboCommission believes that this problem canbepartly overcome by •
notExcluding part–time farmers ifthey undertake conversion within
theframework ofaoollective operation and socontribute tothe
qualitative improvement ofproduction inagiven area . '

–the introduction ofstructural improvement measures with &view to
allowing thecitrus sector toadapt its produotion conditions tothe
newrequirements ofthemarket ; -v ~
–insofar aathemarketing premium isconcerned ,limitng ittosellers
ofonly those Member States whoimplement aplan with regard tothe
medium term measures .
This isenvisaged until 1985/86forlemons andClementines anduntil '
1992/93atthelatest forcitrus fruit .Itsamount shall beestablished
eachyearatthetimeoftheagreement onagricultural prices according
totheprocedure ofArticle 43(2)oftheTreaty .Itshall bedegressive
during itsthree final years .
Inthisconnection ,therelationship between thepenetration premium
a*Klthereference prices fortheproducts inquestion should beborne '
inmind .TheCommission willtake thisintoaccount during the
annual farm prices review .

The Commission isconvinced ,that the proposed amendments shall oreate
the conditions required foravigorous implementation
ofthemeasure undertaken toimprove the competitiveness ofCommunity
citrus fruit .Itconsiders that this implementation isanecessary and
urgent task ,particularly inview oftheforthcoming enlargement ofthe
Community ,
Insofar asthefinancial aspects ofthis revision areconcerned ,the
estimated cost ofthe measures exceeds the "balance of110 MUC still
remaining ontheamount approved "bytheCommission fortheimplementation
ofthecitrus fruit plan forItaly .This cost increase isexplained on
theonehand ,bytheincrease inthereal costs of conversion ,bythe
increase intheamount ofcomplementary aid andbythefact that a
considerably larger area will probably beconverted than in
thepast .Community financial participation will also extend tostructural
measures which were not part ofthecitrus fruit plan .
Furthermore ,thewhole measure shall beapplicable inGreece .

ANNEX
1.Link between the existing measure and the proposal
a)asregards application inItaly
Thecitrus fruit plan adopted on16February 1975 -provides foratotal sum
of144 .5million units ofaccount forthe execution ofthis plan .Sofar
commitments entered into bytheMember States concerned are put at
65million units ofaccount ,ofwhich theEAGGF will reimburse 50 /&.The
situation at31December 1980 was asfollows :theEAGGF hadreimbursed
20.1 million ECU toItaly ,Oftheamount approved 110million still
remained available .
b)asregards France
TheFrench citrus fruit plan adopted "bytheCommission on16February 1973 ,will
remain inbeing until 31Deoember 1985 .Itisestimated that tnere will beno
additional costs over andabove these envisaged intheapproved plan .

Aid for restructuring
The cost ofimproving propagating material isestimated at10million ECU,
including setting uporenlarging nurceries and producing mother plants .
Ofthis sum 50% will bemet bythe EAGGF .Atotal of6.000 haofcitrus
orchards will begrubbed .
Ofthis area ,of6000 ha3000 hawill bereplanted with various annual crops
and 3000 hawill beplanted inmore suitable areas .
The grubbing aid will be5million lire ,i.e. 4000 ECU/ha.The aid for
successive replanting isestimated at70% ofacost of4000 ECU/ha,i.e.
2800 ECU /ha.
The total public cost ofthe operation will thus be:
(6000 x4000 )+(3000 x2800 )=32.40 million ECU
ofwhich 16.2 million Ecu will bemet bythe EAGGF .
The structural improvement ofholdings will consist essentially ofimproving
the structure ofland holding .The public aid per hectare will be70% ofan
estimated cost of4000 ECU/ha,the number ofhectares concerned being
15000 .This gives atotal public cost of42million ECU,ofwhich the EAGGF
would meet 21million ECU .
The total cost tothe EAGGF ofthe restructuring aids will therefore be
5+16.2 +21=42.2 million ECU .The action will extend from 1984 to
1993 ,i.e. the same period astheconversion operation .The co~t ofthe
EAGGF will thus bespend outbetween 1985 and 1994 atanapproximate
annual amount of4.7 million ECU .
