3.1981 /82marketing year
The apple crop was farbelow normal (4.965.000 tonnes fortheCommunity of
1Ten ),and itwasnottherefore possible ,ornecessary ,toundertake
preventive withdrawals .
Results •
%
Production ofapples andpears varies quite considerably intheCommunity
from onemarketing year tothenext which means that supply sometimes
exceeds demand (resulting ,some years ,inlarge withdrawals ). Itmay,
ontheother hand ,fall short ofdemand byabout 800.000 tonnes .
During the two years inwhich preventive withdrawals were authorized for
apples ,and incontrast to1978 /79,themajority ofwithdrawals occurred
during October ,November and December (seeTables 4,5 and 6),that
istosay,during theperiod inwhich such withdrawals areauthorized .
Leaving aside December ,when normal withdrawals aremade atahigher
price than preventive ones ,total withdrawals inOctober andNovember
were only 7,05% in1978 /79ascompared with 34,66% in1979 /80and 47-4-5°
in1980 /81ofthe total quantity withdrawn from themarket .
andgraphic )
Price trends ontheproducer markets (Table 7^were positive ,with a
constant improvement atthe end ofthe two marketing years inquestion ,
t
whereas in1978 /79,when theproduction level was similar (6.776.000 tonnes ),
prices dropped from March onwards .
TheCommission considers that theapplication ofpreventive withdrawals
during the 1979 /80and 1980 /81marketing years hadthefollowing
advantages :
These figures refer toharvested production

or
-Part ofthemarket surplus wasdisposedVat thebeginning ofthemarketi
year with the consequent psychological effect onprices ;
-Withdrawals involved those products -ofpermissible varieties -
whiph metthe minimum quality standards inforce ;
-Each Member State had advance knowledge ofthequantities eligible ;could have
thisVfiiade iteasier for them todispose oftheproducts withdrawn in
one ofthe ways provided for inArticle 21ofRegulation (EEC)
No1035 /72;
-Withdrawals were made atalower price than would have been the case if
intervention had occurred later inthe marketing year .
ι
Inview ofthepositive results with apples during the last three
marketing years ,the Commission proposes that the Councij ,apply the measure
provided for inArticle 15a ofthe basic Regulation onapermanent basis ;
italso considers that the arrangements should continue %oapply todessertexperiencepears ,even though nopractical /has yet been gained with this product .
Inthe future there could beexceptionally large crops ofpears ,which have
the same marketing characteristics asapples .This has already occurred
onthe Community market inthe past .
Aproposal for aRegulation along these lines isattached .

Proposal for a

3,
Whereas Article 15a ofCouncil Regulation (EEC )No1035 /72of18May 1972
1onthe common organization ofthe market infruit and vegetables ,aslast
2amended byRegulation (EEC)No ,lays down that preventive withdrawals
may beauthorized ,onatemporary basis ,where the market situation and,in
particular ,the size ofthe crop and the level ofprices ,give reason tofear a
collapse ofthe market ;
Whereas the experience ofthe last three marketing years has shown that applica­
tion ofthepreventive withdrawal arrangements fordessert apples has ensured more
effective support andstabilization ofthe market ;whereas the system should
therefore beretained for anunlimited period ;
Whereas theconditions forapplying the arrangements inquestion have not been
"letinthe case ofpears ;whereas inview ofexperience with regard toapples ,
thearrangements should nonetheless also continue tobeapplicable topears ,
