EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1. Regulation (EECNo2511/69lays down special measures for
improving theproduction andmarketing ofCommunity citrus fruit .
With respect toproduction ,theRegulation mainly provides aid
forreplanting existing orange andmandarin groves with other varieties in
renponoo toconsumer demand .
This aidiosupplemented fortheemail holdings (aphenomenon which
concerns almost exclusively theItalian restructuration plan )byspecial additional
aidtooffset part ofthelosses resulting from replanting .
2. After oneyear ofapplication ofthe reconvertion plan ithas "been obser­
vedthat the 5hectares limit stipulated inthefirst indent ofArticle 4(1)ofthe
abovementioned Regulation tend3 todeny aidtogrowers whocultivate alarger
area with much marginal land inanextensive manner andderive less income from :
it than isobtained from 2hectares oforange andmandarin groves .
Thecondition inthesecond indent ofArticle 4»that the income
obtained bythegrower from theholding shall notexceed theincome derived
from 2hectares cforange andmandarin trees isnowtotally inadequate ,totally -
inadequate ,thus theminimum revenue from aholding must boincreased tocompenr -
sate fortheincrease inthec03t ofliving . Consequently ,ithas
become ensential toextend thelimit sothat growers forwhom theneed for
additional aidhasbecome allthemore acute duo totheir precarious economio
situation are notdenied aid and donot abandon the work ofreplanting .
Thecondition laid down inthethird indent ofArticle 4(0 "that
"atleast half thearea used forgrowing orange andmandarin trees isreplanted
atone time Malso needs tobeamended .
3. Inview oftheabove theCommission proposes toamend thecriteria
laid down inArticle 4ofCouncil Regulation No2511/69 9December 19^9 »
byaboliuhing therestrictions inthefirst indent ofparagraph 1,byreplacing
inthesecond indent the income derived from 2hectares oforange andmandarin
trees bytheincome derived from 4hectares ,andlastly inthethird indent by
changing 5&?°ofthearea to40%ofthearea under orange andmandarin "treor *.
