COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES 
COM(92) 144 final 
Brussels, 9 April 1992 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) 
introducing spsclfIc Measures for the Canary Islands 
concerning certain agricultural products 
(presented by the Commission) 
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
On 26 June 1991 the Council adopted Regulation (EEC) No 1911/91 concerning 
the integration of the Canary Islands Into the customs territory of the 
Community and all the common policies. On the same day, the Council 
adopted a programme of options specific to the remote and insular nature of 
the Canary Islands (Decision 91/314/EEC, Poseican) to accompany this 
integration. 
This proposal constitutes the initial implementation of Poeeican and 
establishes a framework regulation for agricultural measures financed by 
the EAGGF Guarantee Section. 
The purpose of Poseican is to reduce the cost of supplies and encourage the 
economic and social development of the Islands, which have an exceptional 
geographic situation and are structurally very backward in relation to 
other regions in the Community. 
In view of the specific problems of the Canary Islands, which are an 
integral part of the Community, and the imminent completion of the internal 
market, the proposal provides for a eeries of mult(annua I, multisectors I 
measures to facilitate supply and help to improve the production and 
marketing of the agricultural produce of the region.

DRAFT 
COUNCIL REGULATION 
ntroducing specific measures for the Canary Islands 
concerning certain agricultural products 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, 
and in particular Articles 43 and 28 thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament, 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee, 
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1911/91 of 26 June 1991 on the 
application of the provisions of Community law to the Canary Islands1, as 
amended by Regulation (EEC) No 284/922, integrates the Canary Islands into 
the Community's customs territory and into the common policies; whereas, 
under Articles 2 and 10 of the above-mentioned Regulation, application of 
the common agricultural policy is subject to the entry into force of 
specific supply arrangements; whereas such application must also be 
accompanied by specific measures concerning agricultural production; 
Whereas Council Decision 91/314/EEC of 26 June 1991 setting up a programme 
of options specific to the remote and insular nature of the Canary Islands 
(Poseican) outlines the options to be implemented to take account of the 
specific problems and constraints faced by the Islands;

Whereas the exceptional geographical situation of the Canary Islands in 
relation to the sources of supply of products used as inputs for the 
everyday consumption or manufacture of certain essential foodstuffs in the 
islands imposes costs which constitute a severe handicap to the sectors 
concerned; whereas this natural handicap can be remedied by exemption from 
levies and/or customs duties on the products in question imported directly 
from third countries; 
Whereas, to maintain the competitiveness of the above products of Community 
origin in the Islands, both in order to achieve the Poselcan objective of 
reducing prices by promoting competition between sources of supply and to 
prevent disruption of traditional trade flows, provision should be made for 
the supply to this region of products originating in the rest of the 
Community, on terms equivalent for the end user to exemption from the levy 
and/or customs duties on products originating in third countries, based on 
the prices applied to exports to third countries; 
Whereas the quantities of products benefiting from the specific supply 
arrangements must be determined within the framework of periodic forecast 
supply balances, which may be adjusted during the year on the basis of the 
essential requirements of the local market and taking account of local 
production and traditional trade flows; 
Whereas the arrangements in question are intended to reduce production 
costs and consumer prices; whereas their actual impact should therefore be 
monitored; 
- 3 -
Whereas, to avoid any deflection of trade, products covered by the specific 
supply arrangements may not be redispatched to other parts of the Community 
or re-exported to third countries; whereas, however, an exception to this 
principle should be made for products traditionally processed in the Canary 
Islands and redispatched or re-exported, within the limits of usual trade 
fIows; 
Whereas the specific conditions of agriculture in the Canary Islands 
require special attention and whereas measures to accompany the entry into 
force of the common agricultural policy are necessary in this regard, both 
for stockfarming and animal products and for crop products; 
Whereas, to promote the development of traditional stockfarming in the 
Canaries, assistance should be given for genetic improvement through the 
purchase of pure-bred breeding animals and supplementary premiums should be 
granted for the fattening of adult male bovine animals, for the maintenance 
of suckler herds and for sheepmeat and goatmeat production, and the 
consumption of locally produced fresh milk products should be promoted; 
whereas, pending the development of local stockfarming, provision should be 
made, on a temporary and degressive basis so as not to compromise the 
above-mentioned objective, for the supply of male animals for fattening, 
within the limits of local consumption requirements, as periodically 
assessed; 
Whereas, in the fruit, vegetables, plants and flor(cultural sector, 
measures should be taken to increase production and to improve farm 
productivity and product quality; whereas measures should also be taken to 
improve the marketing of the Islands' tropical products; 
- 4 -
Whereas the creation and promotion of a graphic symbol can also facilitate 
the marketing of specific quality products; 
Whereas, in order to help support local production with a view to 
satisfying consumer habits in the Islands, provision should be made for 
specific aid for potato-growing, within the limits of the areas under 
cultivation on entry into force of this Regulation and, during a 
transitional period, for degressive restrictions on imports of this product 
during the sensitive period when local production is placed on the market; 
Whereas, with the same objectives in mind, intervention measures under the 
market organization for wine and grubbing premiums should not be applied 
and aid should be granted for vines producing quality wines psr which meet 
the requirements laid down in the Community rules; 
Whereas, to contribute to maintaining IScai cereal production, the co-
responsibility levy payable by cereal producers should not be applied in 
the Canary Islands; 
Whereas, in view of the animal health status of the region, it must be 
possible to grant a temporary derogation to the requirements of Council 
Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary 
inspection problems upon importation of animals from third countries; 
Whereas farms in the Canary Islands present major structural weaknesses 
from which specific difficulties derive; whereas a derogation is therefore 
necessary from the rules which restrict or prohibit the grant of certain 
forms of structural aid; 
- 5 -
Whereas certain structural measures essential for the development of 
agriculture in the Islands are financed under Community support frameworks 
to promote the development and structural adjustment of regions whose 
development is lagging behind (Objective 1) pursuant to Articles 130a and 
130c of the Treaty; whereas the Commission has approved an initiative 
(Regis) to encourage the economic development of the remotest regions, 
providing for the diversification of agricultural production, the upgrading 
of traditional products and measures to reduce the risks associated with 
natural disasters; 
Whereas banana cultivation is of fundamental importance to the economy of 
the Canary Islands; whereas all the problems relating to banana production 
are the subject of a Community study under way and appropriate measures 
will be taken on conclusion of the study, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1 
This Regulation lays down specific measures to remedy, in respect of 
certain agricultural products, the difficulties caused by the remote and 
insular nature of the Canary Islands.
