Communication concerning the negotiation of problems  
emerging from the examination of secondary Legislation  
on agriculture
Volume II
Examination of secondary legislation on agriculture:  
technical conclusions
concerning a second series of sectors coming under the  
common agricultural policy
(Communication from the Commission to the Council)
C0M(83) 3 final

E
As part of the systematic examination of Community secondary legislation  
undertaken with the Spanish Delegation under a mandate from the Council,  
the Commission has continued its examination of the acts relating to the  
common agricultural policy.
This report is the second of a series on this subject·*·.
The sectors examined are those listed below. A report on sectors not  
yet dealt with in this communication will be sent as soon as possible.
Given the number and the scale of the problems emerging from this  
examination, the Commission has decided to divide this document into  
two parts, namely:
(a) Volume I. which covers all the problems which cannot be dealt with  
by technical adaptation and which, being problems of substance, must  
be the subject of negotiation. The position of the Spanish Delegation  
is given, the problem is outlined, and a Commission proposal is put  
forward for a position which the Community could appropriately adopt  
on this problem.
Volume I also gives certain comments made by the Spanish Delegation in  
the course of the examination of secondary legislation. These comments  
do not lead at the present stage to the formulation of specific requests  
and are to be examined as problems of substance only if the Spanish  
Delegation subsequently takes an initiative in this respeot.
(b) Volume II. which gives a list of the acts examined, classified by  
sector and in different categories depending upon whether they require  
technical adaptation or not. This volume includes an introduction  
describing the method used to examine the secondary legislation on  
agriculture.
(l) The first report was the subject of a communication to the Council in  
the form of the fifteenth report on the examination of secondary  
Community law (C0M(80) 915 final).

PRELIMIHARY REMARKS
1. As regards the problems which emerged during the examination of the  
secondary legislation, this document covers the whole of the following  
sectors:
- Hops
- Seeds
- Milk and milk products
- E*ruit and vegetables
- Processed fruit and vegetables
- Live plants, etc.
2. Live plants, etc. are not in fact dealt with in Volume I because the  
examination of the secondary law revealed no particular negotiating  
problems.
3. As stated in the introduction, the Commission will report subsequently  
to the Council on problems arising from examination of the various  
agricultural sectors not covered, namely:
- Tobacco
- Wine
- EAGGP
- Sugar and isoglucose
- Sheep and goatmeat
- Beekeeping

p a r t I. MATTERS RAISED BY THE SPANISH DELEGATION DURING THE  
DISCUSSION OF SECONDARY LEGISLATION
A. HOPS
of producers* groups  
P o sitio n ^ o f^ W ie^ S g a m sh ^ D ele^ td ^
Hop producers’ groups are covered by specific rules contained in  
Regulation (EEC) No I 6 9 6/7I on the common organization of the  
market in hops·
Article 8 of this regulation provides for aids, as a “common measure",  
to encourage the formation and facilitate the operation of producers’  
groups· Under Article 17(6) of the Bame regulation, the common measure  
must be implemented within ten years from the entry into force of the  
regulation, namely 7 August 1981·
Because a special effort will have to be made in Spain for the formation  
of producers’ g r o u ^  the Spanish Delegation would like more time. It  
prefers, however, to state at a later date how much time it feels would  
be necessary.
Proposed Community position
For the nine—country Community, the period of implementation of the  
common measure for hop producers’ groups ran out on 6 August 1981} it  
was extended, for Greece, for a five-year period from the date of  
accession.
In the present state of Community legislation, the common measure is  
therefore open only for Greece, but the Commission is now considering  
the situation of producers’ groups in the other Member States, and will  
propose any necessary measures.
The Commission has already had occasion to draw the Council’s attention,  
in general terms, to the inadequacy of marketing structures in Spain and  
to the need to develop the w o r k  of producers* groups in that country ·
The Commission has given this matter favourable consideration, but it  
believes that the Community should reserve its final position on this

Part II, ±.. 13.

question and a s k  the Spanish authorities to amplify their request  
as to the duration of the additional period contemplated, giving  
reasons·
• ··/ · ♦ ·

-  6 -
2. Payment of aid -to producers  
Position of the Spanish Delegation
Hop production in Spain is controlled and marketed by a private central  
“ board (bop growing promotion corporation^), amounting in effect to a  
state-granted monopoly·
The concession ran out in 1 9 8 1, but was extended for two years (until  
31 December 1 9 8 3), with a resolutory clause for the government, on one  
yearns notice, to allow for Spain's accession to the European Community.
The Spanish authorities have not, however, ruled out the possibility that  
transitional measures may have to be contemplated to enable producers and  
dealers to adapt gradually to the new situation arising from the introduction  
of Community regulations·
The Spanish Delegation is therefore not sure that Spain will not need  
transitional measures such as those laid down in Article 23 of Regulation  
(EEC) Ho I6 9 6/7I for the United Kingdom·
Proposed Community position
The measures referred to by the Spanish Delegation concern the United Kingdom,  
which, because of the situation previous to its joining, had bean authorized  
to pay producers the production aid through the appointed body (Hops Marketing  
Board), pending adjustment of this body, and in any case until 31 December 1980  
at the latest.
As for Spain, the Commission feels that it is too early to decide whether  
such measures are needed. It takes the view that the Community should  
no-fe the introduction into the concession contrant of the resolutory  
clause in favour of the government and ask the Spanish authorities to  
take the necessary measures, when Spain joins, to adjust this monopoly to  
bring it in line with Community legislation·

D. SEEDS
1. Scope of the common organization of the markets
Position of the Spanish Delegation
The Spanish Delegation has requested, that hybrid sorghum (subheading 10.07 C  
of the Common Customs Tariff) be included in the scope of the common  
organization of the markets in seeds·
This request does not cover the granting of the production aid for which  
certain seeds qualify, but only identical treatment to that which is already  
allotted to hybrid maize for sowing, namely:
-  a  system of protection against imports from non-member countries (through  
a reference price);
-  a compulsory import licence scheme designed to manage the reference price  
system and monitor imports.
Proposed Community position
The Spanish request is connected with the one it has already submitted for  
sorghum in the cereals sector^, which the Commission felt should not be  
accepted.
With regard to seeds, Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) Wo 2 3 5 8 /7 1  on the  
common organization of markets in seeds lists the products covered T^y the  
common organization. It is also essential, for marketing reasons and in the  
interests of clear definition of the products concerned (definition of seed  
categories, hybrid categories, etc·), that the species for which measures  
are laid down under Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 should also be covered by

and in particular pp. 56 to 5 8·

-  8 -
Directives Ho 6 6/4OI/EEC, No 6 6/4 0 2/EEC and No 6 9/2 0 8/EEC relating to  
the marketing of seeds. At the present time, hybrid sorghum, whioh  
is not covered by these directives either, is the subject of a Spanish  
request .
In this connection, the Commission has already pointed out to the Council  
that the various requests made by the Spanish Delegation with regard to  
harmonization of legislation are highly technical, particularly those  
relating to seeds and seedlings, and it suggested that examination of
these questions should continue with the assistance of experts from the
2
Member States . This w o r k  is now in hand.
The Commission feels that no informed opinion can be given with regard  
to the present Spanish request without the results of this w o r k  being  
available: any possibility of applying to hybrid sorghum the reference  
price system under the common organization of the seeds market depends  
on approval of the request for extension to hybrid sorghum of the  
directives on seed marketing.

2. Production aid
2.1 Extension of the list of products qualifying  
Position of the Spanish Delegation
The Spanish Delegation has requested that the following species of  
legumes should he added to the list of seeds for which production aid  
may he fixed (the list is given in the Annex to Regulation (EEC)
No 2358/71)·.
ex 12.03 C Hedysarum coronarium L -  Spanish esparcet  
Onohrychis vicifolia scop. -  Esparcet  
Trifolium alexandrinum L - Egyptian closer  
Trifolium suhterraneum L —  Subterranean clover  
Vicia villose Roth -  Vetch
The Spanish Delegation points out that these seeds are of great  
importance in Spain.
Proposed Community position
As for the request considered at point B.I., it must first he  
remembered that for marketing reasons and in the interest of  
clarity of definition of the products concerned, species for which  
measures are laid down under Regulation (EEC) No 2358/71 must also  
he covered by the Community directives on seed marketing. This  
applies, in particular, for Trifolium suhterraneum L, which is not  
covered by these directives, and has, accordingly, been the  
subject of a Spanish requestx ·
It must also be stressed that the Commission, working with national  
experts and the Advisory Committee on Seeds, is already examining the  
economic and commercial aspects of any inclusion of the common  
organization of the markets of a number of seeds, including  
Trifolium alexandrinum L, covered by the Spanish request.
(l) See Doc. 4392/81, C0M(80) 915 final, 12 January 1981, Volume I, Annex III.
• · ·/...

Should this examination lead, to the inclusion of this seed species in  
the common organization and the granting of an aid before Spain joins,  
this aspect of the Spanish request would lapse.
The Commission would stress that aid to the production of basic seeds and  
certified seeds is crucial for the maintenance of producers* incomes at a  
fair level in the face of competition at world prices for these seeds and  
also for the maintenance of a volume of production which not only  
contributes usefully to crop rotation (indispensable in certain areas)  
but is also an important factor in the maintenance of the equilibrium of  
the environment.
Moreover, because of the requirements in Community directives on seeds,  
the product obtained in the Community is generally of a  higher quality  
than imported products and this is bound to have a favourable effect  
on the subsequent stages of agricultural production.
A  last point is that the Community is already paying a production aid for  
certain legumes; it would therefore be difficult to argue that the case  
for granting this aid was not valid for other legume seeds which, because  
of the simple fact of the enlargement of the Community, acquired comparable  
value and importance.
The Commission therefore feels that the Community should accept the  
Spanish request to add the species mentioned above to the list of  
seed species to which basic seed and certified seed production aid  
may be granted.

-  11 -
2.2. Different aid levels in Spain during the transitional period  
Position of the Spanish Delegation
The Spanish Delegation feels that in a few cases the aid payable in Spain  
for certain seeds will have to be differentiated from that payable in the  
present Community to take account of income limits of Spanish producers  
before accession and thus to avoid any distortion in production  
structures.
Proposed Community position
The reasoning of the Spanish Delegation seems to be based on the difference  
between the aid scheme operated now in Spain and the Community scheme: the  
Spanish aid is not always tied to the quantity of seed produced but is also  
granted in the form of investment aid.
The Commission feels that this is a matter related to the general problem  
of the acceptance by Spain of the Community aid arrangements. It has, in  
this connection, already laid before the Council a number of considerations  
and guidelines, mainly with regard to hops’ *·.
The Commission feels that the Community should reserve its position for the  
time being and inform the Spanish authorities that this question will be  
considered again, at the appropriate time, in connection with aiy transitional  
measures relating to the horizontal problems of aids.
(l) See Doc. 6208/80, C0M(80) 5 5 final, 26 March 1981,  
Part I, pp. 4 0, 4 1 and 62.

-  12 -
3· Regulation (EEC) go 2514/78 (registration of seed multiplication  
contracts in non-member countries)
Position of the Spanish Delegation
The abovementioned scheme, which was set up to allow of better assessment of  
future supplies to the Community market for important seeds, covers hybrid  
maize·
Accordingly, consistently with the position it adopted with regard to  
point B1 above, the Spanish Delegation has requested that hybrid sorghum also  
be added; it also requests a similar arrangement for hybrid sunflower seed.
Supporting the latter request, it stresses the fact that Spanish production  
of sunflower is now 800 000 tonnes and that there have been some difficulties  
with regard to seed supplies· It argues that a system of registration would  
give a more accurate picture of foreseeable imports.
Proposed Community position
With regard to hybrid sorghum seed, the Commission feels that the Community  
should reserve its final position until it has been able to reach a conclusion  
on the point mentioned at point B 1 above concerning the inclusion of this  
seed in the common organization of the markets.
With regard to hybrid sunflower seed, there are no positive sohemes at present  
in the Community for this seed (no production aid, no reference price or  
import licence). The Commission feels that it Bhould reserve its final position  
so that at the appropriate time it can present an approach taking account  
both of the situation on hybrid sunflower seed and that for hybrid sorghum  
seeds.

4· Aid to certified seed subject to am equivalence decision  
Position of the Spanish Delegation
As Spain will not be in a position to produce, on the date of accession,  
seed certified in accordance with Community regulations, its seed producers  
would not qualify on that date for the production aid arrangements. In  
order to overcome this temporary difficulty, the Spanish Delegation has  
requested, as a temporary measure, that the aid scheme should, in its  
case, also apply to basic seeds and certified seeds for which the Council  
has adopted an equivalence decision.
Proposed Community position
Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1674/72 states that production aid  
is granted only to basic seed and certified seed, in accordance with the  
provisions of the Community*s directives adopted in the field of  
harmonization of legislation on seeds and seedlings. But in connection  
with the examination of secondary law devoted to this harmonization  
sector, the Spanish Delegation asked for periods of grace for the  
application of these directives^, as time was indispensable for the  
establishment of the infrastructure needed and for the production in  
Spain of basic seed and certified seed as defined in the directives.
As such seed could not be produced immediately, the Spanish producers  
would not qualify for the aid unless it was agreed that as a temporary  
measure aid would be granted in Spain to basic seeds and certified seeds  
in respect of which the Council had adopted a decision as to their  
equivalence^·
See, in this connection, Spanish figures given in the Annex to the  
fifteenth report on secondary Community law, Doc. 4392/81, CGM( 8o) 915 
final, 12 January 1 9 8 1, Volume I, pp· 51 "to 6 5.

See sixth Council Decision of 15 July I 9 8O concerning the equivalence  
of seed produced in non-member countries, 8 0/8I8/EEC (OJ No L 240,
12 September 1980, p. 26).

-  H  -
The Commission takes the view that this question should he examined in  
association with the special reçpiests made by Spain w i t h  regard to  
harmonization of legislation on seed and seedlings, hut it proposes  
that the Community should state immediately that it will give the  
matter favourable consideration. There are precedents for  
a derogation of this kind, since it was conceded at the time of the  
first enlargement and again w h e n  Greece joined.

c. M I L K  AMD M I L K  PRODUCTS
1. Basic principles of the common organization of the markets
Position of the Spanish Delegation
The Spanish Delegation has stated that it feels that the milk and milk  
products sector should he seen in a  broader context, covering all oils  
and fats, vegetable as well as animal. On this occasion, it recalled  
the reservation it had expressed when the oils and fats sector was  
being considered .
The Spanish Delegation has also stressed the contrast between the Spanish  
milk sector, balanced and entailing no expenditure for the government,  
with that of the Community, the record for which is at odds with three  
fundamental principles of the common agricultural policy. The Spanish  
Delegation takes the view that:
(a) the principle of free trade is admittedly achieved, but endemic  
surpluses hamper free movement;
(b) the principle of Community preference cannot take effect because  
there is no common policy for all oils and fats, vegetable as well  
as animal;
(c) the principle of Community solidarity under which the financial  
impact should normally be distributed in a balanced manner according  
to sectors and regions represented, in this sector, a factor of  
distortion, not only in relation with the other sectors but also as  
between the various regions of the Community.
Proposed Community position
The Commission feels that it is too early at the present stage for the  
Community to answer the position expressed by the Spanish Delegation.
As in the case of oils and fats*, it reports the matter now to the  
Council only because of the implications it may have, and it feels  
that a position should be adopted by the Community only w h e n  it has  
seen the precise proposals or requests which the Spanish Delegation may  
make during the negotiations.

2. Scope of the intervention arrangements  
Position of the Spanish Delegation
The Spanish Delegation has requested the extension to certain Cheddar-type  
Spanish cheeses of the measures provided for "by Articles 5 and 8 of  
Regulation (EEC) No 8 0 4 /6 8  on the common organization of the market in  
milk and milk products.
Article 5 of this Regulation provides for an intervention price not only  
for butter and for skimmed-milk powder, but also for Grana padano and  
Parmigiano-Reggiano cheeses. This entails intervention arrangements for  
these cheeses, and Article 8 of the same Regulation provides that  
the intervention agencies must buy in the cheeses and also provides for  
private storage aids.
These measures were adopted only to provide indirect support for the price  
of milk in certain Italian regions in which there was no other way of  
supporting m i l k  prices because no butter or skimmed-milk powder was  
manufactured there. The Spanish Delegation bases its request on the existence  
of a similar situation in certain regions of Spain. It has, however, not  
been able to give the names of these Cheddar-type cheeses (the cheeses are  
now being standardized) or to define exactly the borders of the regions  
involved (the area involved is mainly the Cantabrian coastal belt). The  
Spanish Delegation has undertaken to provide this information.
Proposed Community position
The Commission takes the view that the Community milk market support  
arrangements, comprising intervention arrangements for butter and skimmed-milk  
powder, would provide sufficient support for the Spanish milk products market.  
Moreover, if the Spanish request were accepted, it might lead, to requests for  
extension of the intervention arrangements for other Cheddar-type cheeses  
produced in other regions of the Community. But the intervention arrangement  
for Grana padano and Parmigiano—Reggiano cheeses is an exceptional measure  
adopted to provide valid support for the price of m i l k  in oertain specific  
areas of Italy where manufacture of these cheeses is of overwhelming importance  
and because of the specific character of these cheeseB, protected by a  
designation of origin.
·/ · · ·

-  17 -
The Community should therefore not accept the Spanish request. The  
attention of the Spanish Delegation could however he drawn to the  
possibility, provided by Article 9 of Regulation (EEC) Ho 8 0 4/6 8, to 
activate, in cases of need, intervention measures,including private  
storage aids, for long'-keeping cheeses.

-  18 -
3· Arrangements concerning the sale of drinking milk  
Position of the Spanish Delegation
The Spanish Delegation has asked for the retention of its present monopoly  
scheme for the sale of pasteurized milk, as an exceptional measure, for an  
indefinite period. This request is based on the existence of a law in  
Spain prohibiting the sale of untreated milk and conferring exclusive  
selling rights for all pasteurized milk on dairy centres. The main  
justification for this arrangement is health protection.
If the arrangements were to be discontinued, the Spanish Delegation states  
that this would have financial implications for the central government,  
since it is based on administrative concessions granted to private bodies  
for indefinite periods (this clause corresponds, under Spanish law, to a  
period of 99 years); the concessions could be withdrawn only at the price  
of heavy compensation payable to the beneficiaries.
The Spanish Delegation claims that its national scheme is similar to that  
which existed in Italy and which was covered by an exceptional Community  
authorization until 1 9 7 3.
···/ ····

-  19 -
Proposed. Community position
(a) On the question, firstly, of the law against the sale of -untreated  
milk in Spain, it should he stressed that this rule is not in itself  
incompatible with Community requirements: the Community arrangements  
leave public health matters in the hands of the Member States. In this  
connection, they are free to adopt any measure, including prohibition of  
sale, justified by the health protection situation, without such measures  
ranking as obstacles to free movement. The Commission therefore takes  
the view that at the present time this aspect of the question is not a  
problem.
(b) With regard to the sales monopoly for pasteurized milk, it is true  
that the establishment of the common organization of the markets in the  
milk and milk products sector, entailing free movement of these products  
within the Community, was accompanied by transitional measures referred  
to by Article 22(2) (since repealed) of basic Regulation (EEC) Wo 8 0 4/6 8. 
Under these transitional measures, a temporary derogation -  discontinued  
on 31 March 1973 -  had been granted for Italy, where certain communes  
had established dairy centres which had exclusive rights to the supply of  
drinking milk in the commune and the execution of certain social tasks;  
sales of m i l k  by these commune centres represented only a very small  
proportion of the milk sold for drinking in Italy.
The Commission takes the view, however, that the arrangement for the  
monopoly sale of pasteurized drinking milk as described by the Spanish  
Delegation is not compatible with Community regulations. It would have  
to be discontinued.
The Community should therefore not accept the Spanish request. It should  
ask the Spanish authorities to take now the measures needed so that when  
Spain joins it can comply with Community requirements with regard to  
free movement of goods.

4· Semi-skimmed, milk
Position of the Spanish Delegation
The Spanish Delegation has requested, the deletion of semi-skimmed milk from  
the list of categories of drinking milk that may he marketed in the  
Community, defined in Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) Ko 1411/71 establishing  
supplementary rules for the common organization of the markets in the milk  
and milk products sector.
The arguments are as follows:
—  the expression "semi-skimmed” confuses the consumer!
—  the right to manufacture this type of milk leads to heavy fat surpluses  
(butter), as the sale of semi-skimmed milk easily outstrips that of  
whole milk.
In this connection, the Spanish Delegation has stressed that the retention  
of the semi— skimmed m i l k  category in Spain would have represented at the  
present time an annual surplus production of butter of about 30 000 tonnes.
If the complete elimination of this category of milk were impossible at  
Community level, the Spanish Delegation has requested that Spain should  
be entitled to prohibit the marketing of semi-skimmed m i l k  in Spain.
Proposed Community position
Article 3(l) of Regulation (EEC) Kb 1411/71 provides that the fat content  
of skimmed milk may not exceed 0.03%, but that of semi— skimmed milk must  
be at least 1.50%  and not more than 1.80% and that of standardized whole  
milk must be at least 3*50%.
According to the information available to the Commission*s staff, the  
only milk marketed in Spain is a "skimmed” milk of a fat content not  
exceeding 0.30% and a "whole” m i l k  of a fat content of 3*20%.
• ·/...

-  21 -
It is a fact that the weather and hygiene arrangements for the handling  
of milk in Spain necessitate more extensive heat treatment than that  
generally used in the present Member States. This more intensive heat  
treatment changes the taste and smell of the milk, and the change is all  
the greater and more noticeable the lower the fat content, thus affecting  
sales. Doubtless, this goes far to explain the reticence of the Spanish  
authorities with regard to partially skimmed milk.
However, the application in Spain of Community legislation, with the  
requirement that whole standardized milk should have a fat content of  
at least 3.50%, will mean that in Spain the difference of fat content as  
between skimmed milk and whole milk will be greater than at the present  
time and that whole milk, with a fuller fat content, will have more marked  
organoleptic characteristics, similar to those of present Community  
whole milk, which will then be available in Spain because of freedom of  
movement. It is therefore quite reasonable to expect that the law of  
supply and demand will lead to the formation in Spain of a market in  
semi-skimmed milk.
This being so, and remembering the experience gained in certain present  
Member States which had not previously had a semi-skimmed milk category,  
the Commission takes the view that the fears of the Spanish Delegation  
with regard to this category of milk are not justified, especially as  
there is no obstacle to the application in Spain of Article 6(3) of 
Regulation (EEC) No 1411/71» which provides that fat skimmed off can be  
used to increase the fat content of whole milk.
The Commission feels that semi-skimmed milk cannot be deleted from the  
list of drinking milk categories that may be marketed in the Community  
and that permission to prohibit marketing of semi-skimmed milk in Spain  
could also not be granted. The Community should therefore not accept this  
Spanish request.

5· Sale of “ butter at low prices to non-profit-making institutions  
or associations
Position of the Spanish Delegation
Although it has so far made no formal request, the Spanish Delegation has  
expressed the wish that the quantity of reduced-price "butter to which  
institutions or associations would be entitled in Spain should be determined  
as a ratio of average Community consumption· The reason for this is the  
relatively low level of consumption in Spain·
Proposed Community position
Article 3(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 1 7 1 7 /7 2  states that the quantities of  
butter placed at the disposal of institutions or associations at reduced prices  
shall be determined as a ratio of national or regional consumption. However,  
Regulation (EEC) No 2191/811 of 1 August 1981 suspended the application of this  
arrangement for the sale of reduced price butter to non-profit-making  
institutions or associations because public stocks had been substantially  
reduced·
Regulation (EEC) No 1723/81 having established -  in view of the new situation  
on the butter market -  general rules relating to the introduction of aids for  
certain categories of consumers and processors to reduce the price of butter  
to a level comparable with that for intervention butter, Regulation (EEC)
No 2191/81 defines detailed rules for the granting of aid to the purchase  
of butter by non-profit-making institutions and associations, this aid thus  
superseding sales at reduced prices of butter from public stocks.
Under this new arrangement, Article 3(4) of Regulation (EEC) No 219l/8l  
provides that the maximum quantity of butter qualifying for aid must be  
determined on the basis of the maximum number of consumers concerned and the  
normal average consumption determined by the competent authority of the  
Member State.
The Commission therefore takes the view that changes in Community regulations  
subsequent to the Spanish request mean that this request is no longer needed.  
The Community should nevertheless declare itself prepared to examine this  
question should the system introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 1717/72 be  
brought into force once again.

6. Aid for the private storage of long-keeping eheese  
Position of the Spanish Delegation
The Spanish Delegation has requested that aid for the private storage of  
long—keeping cheeses he available also for cheeses the prices of which are  
not bound in GATT and which are manufactured from mixtures of cow's and  
ewe's milk: cheeses of this type exist in Spain (in particular, ’'manchego" ) ·
Although no special scheme is at present in force in Spain for these cheeses,  
the Spanish Delegation feels that their prices fluctuate enough to justify  
storage measures just as much as for other Community long-keeping cheeses.
Proposed Community position
Article 9(l) of Regulation (EEC) Ko 8 0 4 /6 8  stipulates that intervention  
measures may be taken in respect of long-keeping cheeses to support the  
market in years when this is necessary, such measures usually to take the  
form of aid for private storage.
Regulation (EEC) Ko 5O8/7I lays down the detailed rules. Article 1 of  
this Regulation confines the private storage aid to cheeses the prices of  
which are bound in GATT , insofar as such cheeses constitute the main use  
of cow's milk in mountain regions. This same article stipulates that  
aid to private storage can also be granted for certain cheeses made from  
ewe's milk, requiring at least six months* maturing.
When the Council approved private storage aid only for cheese made from  
ewe's milk, excluding mixtures of ewe's and cow's milk, its intention was  
to avoid supplementary and distorting support for the market in cow's milk.
As the various Community intervention measures would provide sufficient  
support for the Spanish m i l k  products market and as extension of private  
storage aid to Spanish cheese made from cow's and ewe's milk could prompt  
matching requests for other cheeses produced in the Community, the  
Commission takes the view that the Community should not accept this  
Spanish request.
(l) Because of bindiigin GATT, these cheeses are imported into the Community  
at a level below the threshold price.

D. FRESH FRUIT AM) VEGETABLES
1. Scope of the common organization of the markets  
Position of the Spanish Delegation
The Spanish Delegation has requested the addition of avocados to the list  
in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 of products covered by the  
common organization of the fresh fruit and vegetables markets. The  
Spanish Delegation is particularly interested in the establishment of a  
marketing year (l 0ctober/30 September) and common standards.
In support of this request, the Spanish Delegation points to the steady  
expansion of production of avocados in certain regions, such as the  
Canaries and the Costa del Sol. Production is evenly spread over these  
areas, accounting for about 3 200 hectares in 1980· In coming years,  
production, having reached 7 4 0 0 tonnes in 1 9 8 0 (2 1 0 0 tonnes in 1 9 7 6), 
will probably increase further to about 11 500 tonnes b y  1985· Most of the  
production is disposed of on the internal market, but an estimated 7 0 0 to 800 
tonnes of avocados go abroad each year.
Proposed Community position
Avocados, which come under heading 08.01 D  of the Common Customs Tariff,  
are now subject to the market rules set out in Regulation (EEC) No 8 2 7 /6 8  
on the common organization of the market in certain products listed in  
Annex II to the Treaty. For these "residual" products, the Community has  
taken only the following measures:
- it has approved the application of the Common Customs Tariff in trade with  
non-member countries and prohibited any charge of equivalent effect
and any quantitative restriction or measure of equivalent effect;
-  it has provided an outline for protective measures, should they be needed,  
in trade with non-member countries;

-  25 -
- it has established free movement of goods for trade within the  
Community;
- it has made applicable the rules of the 'Treaty on national aids.
The Commission takes the view that the Spanish request should not be  
accepted: the establishment of a marketing year has no consequence  
in itself, in the absence of an intervention system (basic and buying-in  
prices) or of a system of protection vis-à-vis non-member countries  
(reference price), for which there is no need at the present time.
The Community should therefore inform the Spanish authorities that  
transfer of avocados from Regulation (EEC) No 8 2 7 /6 8  ("residuals” ) to  
Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 on the common organization of the markets  
in fresh fruit and vegetables is not appropriate.
However, the Community could add that if the Spanish authorities wished  
to apply standards for avocados grown in Spain, they could establish  
Spanish standards, but that these standards, which must apply to all  
home-grown avocados, must not constitute an obstacle to trade in avocados  
either between the Member States or w i t h  non-member countries.

2. Dry fruit
Position of the Spanish Delegation
The Spanish Delegation has noted that there are few positive measures  
concerning dry fruit in the common organisation. In this context, it  
has requested the definition of a legal framework for almonds and  
hazelnuts, enabling them to qualify for concrete measures (reference  
price, quality standards).
Proposed Community position
After the Spanish request was formulated, special measures were adopted,  
under the Act of Accession of Greece, for dried grapes and dried figs,  
under the common organization of the markets in processed fruit and  
vegetables^. Consequently, the dry fruit covered by the common  
organization of fresh fruit and vegetables but not subject to positive  
measures are mainly almonds, walnuts and hazelnuts. These products do,  
however, attract export refunds.
Import of these products into the Community is subject only to a customs  
duty at 8% for walnuts, 7% for almonds and 4$ for hazelnuts. Relatively  
large quantities of almonds and hazelnuts are imported into the Community  
from the United States, but also from Spain, except for shelled hazelnuts,  
90% of the imports of which come from Turkey.
(l) See Council Regulation (EEC) No 2194/81, 27 July 1981, laying down the  
general rules for the system of production aid for dried figs and dried  
grapes (OJ No L 214, 1 August 1 9 8 1).

- 27 -
Given the production situation in the Community at the present time,  
other measures have not been needed. The situation could, however,  
change when Spain and Portugal^ join because of the scale of production  
in these countries^·
But the extension to almonds and hazelnuts of the reference price system  
does not seem to be economically practicable; however, there is a problem,  
and a proper protection arrangement does seem necessary. This arrangement  
can be worked out, and the question of the introduction of common quality  
standards for these products can be examined, only when additional data  
have been received and examined (including market prices) from the Spanish  
Delegation.
(1) The Portuguese Delegation has requested introduction of a reference  
price for almonds.
(2) Production of almonds is about 190 000 tonnes in the ten-country EEC,  
about 240 000 tonnes in Spain, and about 15 000 tonnes in Portugal.
The production of hazelnuts, which is about 110 000 tonnes in the  
ten-country EEC, is about 30 000 tonnes in Spain and about 1 200 tonnes  
in Portugal.

3· List of products subject to common standards  
Position of the Spanish Delegation
The Spanish Delegation has requested addition of the following products  
to the list of those subject to common standards:
- melons
-  water melons
- aubergines
-  mushrooms
-  courgettes
- dry fruit (almonds, hazelnuts)
Proposed Community position
Under present Community regulations, about 28 types of fruit and vegetable  
(listed in Annex I of Regulation (EEC) Nb IO 35/7 2) are subject to common  
quality standards. Aubergines and courgettes, to which the Spanish request  
refers in part, are now on the list in that common quality standards have  
been agreed for them since the Spanish application was formulated ·
The Community could therefore reply that the introduction of common quality  
standards for other products depends on general changes and the normal  
development of Community regulations, and could be examined at any time on the  
basis of needs.
The Community could also state that Spain would be free, if it wishes to  
apply quality standards for any product the standardization of which was of no  
particular interest to the other Member States, to establish national standards,  
but that these standards, which must apply to all home-grown production, must  
not constitute an obstacle to trade in this product either between the  
Member States or with non-member countries.

4* Aids to the formation and operation of producers* groups
4«1 Duration of schemes  
Position of
The Spanish Delegation is aware of the importance of the development  
of producers groups in Spain. It has therefore a very great interest  
in any measure likely to encourage the formation of these groups.
In this connection it has noted that Article 14 of Regulation (EEC)
Do 1035/72 provides two schemes for aid to the formation and operation  
of producers* groups. However, the second scheme is not permanent in that  
it applies only to groups set up before 1 October 1 9 8 4, giving the  
present Member States seven years before it runs out.
Consequently, the Spanish Delegation would like the producers* groups to  
be set up in Spain to have the same time, namely seven years from the  
date of accession. The delegation feels that this period of grace could  
be lengthened even further, since this is an area in which Spain lags  
behind the present Community.
Proposed Community position
Article 1 4 of Regulation (EEC) Do IO 3 5 /7 2 on the common organization of  
the market in fresh fruit and vegetables provides two aid schemes for  
the formation of producers* groupsi
the first, in paragraph 1, is permanent. It allows the payment of  
these aids during the three years following the date the groups are  
established, the aid not to exceed, for the first, second and third  
years respectively, # ,  2$ and 1% of the value of production marrketed  
under *bhe auspecies of *the group}
•··/···

- 30 -
-  the second, introduced "by a paragraph la, is confined to the
formation of producers* groups in the period from 1 October 1977  
to 1 October 1 9 8 4, and authorizes the payment of such aids for five  
years. The amounts may not exceed 5$» 4$» 3%, 2 jo and i f o 
respectively each year of the value of production marketed under  
the auspecies of the group, but in any case not exceed the actual  
costs of formation and administrative operation of the group.
The Commission has submitted proposals to the Council for amendment  
of current legislation so as to render premanent the five-year aid  
scheme to the formation and operation of producers* groups .
Adoption of the proposals will mean, of course, that the Spanish request  
has been met.
Should they not be adopted, the Commission takes the view that the  
Community should meet the Spanish request since, as it has already  
stated in the explanatory memorandum accompanying the proposals,  
production cannot be properly related to demand and marketing crises  
cannot be avoided without producers* groups. This is particularly  
true in Spain, and there is a  strong case for maximum incentives to the  
formation of producers* groups in this country.

4.2. Maximum aids
Position of the Spanish Delegation
The Spanish Delegation has requested that the ceiling on aids to the  
formation and operation of the relevant group should he removed.
Proposed Community position
Article 14(la) of Regulation (EEC) Mo 10 3 5 /7 2 stipulates that aids to  
the formation and operation of producers* groups must he granted on the  
basis of a percentage of the value of the production marketed under the  
auspices of the group. However, where such percentages exceed those  
laid down by the rule in Article 14(l) (see point 4*1 above), the amount  
paid may not exceed actual costs incurred in the formation and  
administrative operation of the group.
The Commission takes the view that this ceiling should not he removed:  
the aid scheme is designed to encourage the formation of producers* groups  
and to see them through their teething troubles in the early years of  
their operation. The Council deliberately confined assistance to these  
starting-up costs.
The Spanish request should therefore not be accepted.

-  32 -
5. Extension of the preventive withdrawals arrangement  
Position of the Spanish Delegation
The Spanish Delegation has requested that the facility authorizing producers1  
groups to make preventive withdrawals should he extended to all citrus fruit  
and dry fruit (almonds, hazelnuts).
Proposed Community position
Under Article 15a of Regulation (EEC) Ho 1035/72, apples and pears are the  
only products eligible for preventive withdrawals to he made hy the producers*  
groups w h e n  the situation w i t h  regard to prices and production volume  
points to major withdrawals. The preventive withdrawal scheme was adopted  
for apples and pears because they are harvested during short periods and  
because they have to be stored over long periods to avoid flutting the  
market.
The Commission feels that the Spanish request for extension of this scheme  
to all citrus fruit and almonds and hazelnuts should not be accepted.
The harvest of citrus fruits is spread out over a fairly long period because  
there are different varieties (early, late), and the preventive withdrawals  
facility, available only in the early months of the year to avoid the  
collapse of prices, would be unlikely to affect the marketing of high  
season varieties.
In Spain there is no regular intervention arrangement for almonds and  
hazelnuts, and the Spanish request, implying Community financing of  
these prevent withdrawal operations, cannot be separated from its request  
for the extension of the intervention measures to these products (see  
point D  6 below). Since it is not proposed that the Spanish request to  
institute basic prices and buying-in prices for almonds and hazelnuts  
should be accepted, the present request cannot be accepted either.

6 · E ^ r te n s ïo i ^ o ^ ^ ir v b e i^ e ir tii^ t o ^ o W i e r ^ jD r o c h ic t s  
Position of the Spanish Delegation
The Spanish Delegation would, like:
cucumbers, melons, onions, sweet peppers, almonds and hazelnuts
to be added to the list of products in respect of which intervention measures  
have been provided for.
The Spanish Delegation will provide details of marketing years, the  
varieties concerned and prices recorded on the market in Spain.
Proposed Community position
Article 16 of Regulation (EEC) Mb 1035/72 refers to Annoy II for the  
products for which basic prices and buying-in prices are fixed, i.e.  
those in respect of which intervention measures may be adopted. These  
measures can always be extended; it is at the present time proposed  
to extend than to apricots and aubergines.
It should be noted that so far Spain does not have a regular production  
price support system and therefore it is not clear why new provisions  
not existing in the present Community, in which the same products are  
grown, should be introduced.
In these conditions, the Commission takes the view that the Spanish request  
should not be accepted.

-  34 -
7. Extension of arrangements for recording a state of serious crisis
Position of the Spanish Delegation
The Spanish Delegation has requested that all citrus fruit he made subject  
to the same procedure for recording "that the market in the ^product  
in question is in a state of serious crisis" as that laid down in the basic  
Regulation for peaches and summer pears.
Proposed Community position
Article 19 of Regulation (EEC) Ho 1035/72 authorizes individual Member States  
to ask the Commission to record that the market in question is in a state of  
serious crisis whenever, on one of the representative markets for at least  
three consecutive market days, the prices notified to the Commission remain  
below the buying-in price. The products concerned are all products for  
which basic prices and buying-in prices are fixed other than peaches and  
summer pears, so that the various citrus fruits are covered.
For peaches and summer pears, the procedure is the same, but Article 19a  
adds that the level of recording must be higher since it takes place at  
the level of the buying-in price plus 5 $ of the basic price and that the  
period to be referred to is only two consecutive market days.
The special measures introduced for peaches and summer pears (confined to  
a period from 1 July to 31 August in the case of the latter) are motivated  
by the fact that these are particularly sensitive markets for which prompter  
intervention by the Member States may be needed partly because of the short  
periods in which very heavy marketing takes place and because the products  
themselves are highly perishable.
These are measures confined to special cases which are, in the opinion of  
the Commission, not comparable with the situation for citrus fruit.
Accordingly, the Commission takes the view that the Spanish request should  
not be accepted.

^ · Sals of citrus
Position of the Spanish Delegation
The Spanish Delegation has requested that the automatic authorization to  
sell to processors, now allowed only for hlood oranges, should he extended  
to mandarins, clementines, satsumas and lemons withdrawn from the market·
The Spanish Delegation takes the view that the difference of procedure  
is not justified, as production in terms of quantity is heavy in Spain.
Proposed Community position
Article 2l(l) of Regulation (EEC) Ho 1035/72 lays down rules for the disposal  
of products withdrawn from the markets, the public being opposed to their mere  
destruction. Article 2 1 (l)(a) provides for the free distribution of the  
products, or their processing with a view to free distribution, to charitable  
organizations or foundations or schoolchildren, or their use for animal feed.
Article 2l(l)(c) provides for the sale to processors of certain categories  
of products withdrawn from the market provided that this entails no  
distortion of competition for the processors concerned within the Community.
Authorization for such disposal is, however, automatic for blood oranges,  
while it is subject to a Commission decision adopted according to the  
"management committee procedure" in other cases. This procedure has in fact  
been used on only one occasion.
The automatic authorization to sell to processors blood oranges withdrawn  
from the market has been agreed because of special constraints connected with  
this product: blood oranges are products which are withdrawn on a substantial  
scale and which are not suitable for processing w i t h  a view to subsequent  
free distribution, because of technical problems of preservation of the juice  
(unless disproportionate costs were to be incurred).
.../...

- 36 -
Without automatic sale to processors, there would be an additional risk  
of destruction of the product which does not arise for ordinary oranges  
and small citrus fruit, which can, without particular technical difficulties,  
be processed with a view to subsequent free distribution.
Consequently, the Commission takes the view that the Community should  
not accept the Spanish request.

9· Residual restrictions on imports  
Position of the Spanish Delegation
The Spanish Delegation has requested that Spain be authorized to retain  
quantitative restrictions vis—ar-vis non—member countries for the products  
listed in Annex III of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72, but for melons and  
tomatoes during periods other than those indicated in the Annex, as the  
production cycle for these products covers periods other than those valid  
for the Community.
The Spanish Delegation expressed the view that the measure Spain applies,  
which ranks as a quantitative restriction or measure of equivalent effect,  
is the licence system valid for imports from non-member countries.
Proposed Community position
Article 22 of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 raises a special problem in respect  
of its application to new Member States. As a general rule it prohibits,
for products subject to the common fruit and vegetables organization imported  
from non—member countries:
— any charge equivalent to a customs duty,
— the application of any quantitative restriction or measure of equivalent  
effect.
There is, however, an exception to this principle in that, for certain  
products, commercial policy with regard to imports has not yet been unified  
and that in the meantime the original Member States are free to maintain  
vis-a-vis non-member countries a "standstill" with regard to quantitative  
restrictions or measures of equivalent effect. This waiver should normally  
have run out on 1 January 1973, as the Council was to take a decision on the  
Community arrangements to apply from that date onwards; this is undoubtedly  
the reason why no specific provision was adopted in connection with the  
accession of the three new Member States. As the Community has failed to  
provide law on this subject, the legal question arises as to whether the new  
Member States may or may not maintain their own quantitative restrictions or  
measures of equivalent effect vis-à-vis non-member countries.
•  ../...

In accordance with the practice so far followed in the examination of  
secondary law with prospective member countries, it must be stressed  
that the relevant provision is not automatically applicable to the new  
Member States, were it only because of the date chosen as the  
starting point for the "standstill", a date which can be of historic  
significance only for countries that were members of the Community  
in 1973.
In its communication to the Council on the accession negotiations in the  
agricultural sector"'’, the Commission proposed the elimination of these  
quantitative restrictions and their replacement by a Community reference  
price. Accordingly, the Commission takes the view that the Community  
should reserve its position pending a decision on the proposal.

10. Scope of protective measures  
Position of the Spanish Delegation
The Spanish Delegation has requested that all citrus fruits and almonds and  
hazelnuts he added to the products listed in Annex Ilia of Regulation  
(EEC) No 1035/72.
Proposed Community position
Article 29(1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 allows fir the adoption of  
protective measures both in respect of imports and exports so that prompt  
action can be taken when market changes make this necessary. The first  
indent of this paragraph refers to the danger of serious disturbance, whether  
caused by imports or exports, on the market for one or other of the products  
subject to the arrangements set out in Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72. The  
second indent refers to withdrawal operations concerning major quantities  
for one or other of the products listed in Annex Ilia'*'.
In respect of Community protective measures, decisions may be taken:
-  in the first case, either to suspend imports or exports, or to impose  
an export charge;
-  in the second case (that is for products listed in Annex Ilia), either
to suspend imports, or to impose an import charge, called a "supplementary  
amount", added to customs duties and to any countervailing charge  
applicable.
With regard to the question of adding almonds and hazelnuts to the list in  
Annex Ilia, it is clear that this Spanish request cannot be separated from  
the request to extend intervention measures to these products (see point D  6  
above). As it has not been proposed that the Spanish request for the fixing  
of basic and buying-in prices for almonds and hazelnuts be accepted, the  
present request cannot be accepted either. It would however be useful to  
remind the Spanish authorities that all produots coming under the common
(l) Cauliflower, tomatoes, table grapes, peaches, apples (other than cider  
apples), pears (other than peary pears) and, for the last two products,  
excluding such products from the overseas countries.

- 40 -
organization of the markets (therefore including almonds and hazelnuts)  
are covered by the protective measures provided for in the first indent  
of Article 29(l).
With regard to citrus fruit, this product was not covered by the measures  
in the second indent of Article 29(l) mainly because the Community had a  
substantial deficit in citrus fruit when the provisions were adopted.
In a Community including Spain, the situation should be different in that  
the Community would be almost self-sufficient for many types of citrus  
fruit, with actual surpluses in certain items (e.g. lemons). Accordingly,  
the Commission takes the view that citrus fruit should be added to the list  
of products for which specific protective measures may be adopted whenever  
withdrawal operations concerning large quantities are carried out on  
Community markets, and that the Community should therefore accept this aspect  
of the Spanish request.

11. Regulation (EEC) Ho 2511/69 (improvement of production and  
marketing of Community citrus fruit)
11.1 Medium-term measures  
Position of the Spanish Delegation
The Spanish Delegation has requested that, in respect of these measures,  
Spain should have the same time from the date of joining as the time  
available for the Member States of the present Community.
It has also requested that these measures should cover nuts  
(almonds, hazelnuts) as well.
Proposed Community position
The measures concern mainly the conversion of orange and mandarin  
plantations to other varieties of citrus fruit in order to rationalize  
Community citrus fruit production by an improvement in the varietal  
composition of holdings, having due regard to local production conditions,  
and by the use of more effective growing methods.
The medium-term conversion measure is supported by a short-term measure  
designed to promote the disposal of production on Community import  
markets: it consists in the granting of financial compensation known  
as the "market promotion" or "penetration" premium.
This last measure was devised at a time when Community production had run  
into serious disposal difficulties, mainly because of the keen  
competition from imports from non—member countries, including Spain.
The Community took the view that the conditions necessitating these  
general measures no longer prevailed in the enlarged Community·
It has therefore decided, under the arrangements for amending the "acquis  
communautaire" (1), that incentives for these conversion measures were to be  
confined to action undertaken in the regions of the Community where the  
varietal pattern of production raises a major problem.
(l) Council Regulation (EEC) N° 1204/82 of 18 May 1982  
(O.J. N° L 140, 20 May 1982, p. 38)

- 42 -
With regard to the Spanish request for extension of these measures to  
dry fruit (almonds, hazelnuts), the Commission takes the view that this  
approach runs counter to the policy pursued, which does not involve any  
extension to other sectors of measures which have been taken with  
regard to citrus fruit to remedy serious difficulties hampering disposal  
of production· The Community should therefore not accept the extension  
of these measures to almonds and hazelnuts.

11.2 Short-term measures
Position of the Spanish Delegation
The Spanish Delegation has requested the deletion of the second subparagraph  
of Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No 2511/69, which would mean automatic  
financial compensation ("market promotion" or "penetration" premium) for  
all citrus fruit, including lemons, in respect of which this compensation  
is normally confined to the current year.
Proposed Community position
As indicated in the preceding point, the payment of the financial compensation  
known as the "market promotion" or "penetration" premium is designed essentially  
to boost Community oranges, mandarins, clementines and lemons on Community  
import markets. The financial compensation for lemons is, however, confined  
to the current year.
Under the decision taken by the Community in connection with the amendment of  
the "acquis cowmunatitdire"(1), the financial compensation is to be confined  
initially to products originating in the Member States which have established  
conversion plans within the meaning of the decision, the amount to be fixed on  
an annual basis. Thereafter, financial compensation is to fixed within a certain  
margin and discontinued altogether from the 1986/87 season onwards for lemons  
and clementines and from the 1993/94 season onwards for oranges and mandarins.
The Commission therefore takes the view that the Community should not accept  
the Spanish request.

E. PROCESSED FRUIT AM) VEGETABLES
1. Scope of the Community production aid scheme
Position of the Spanish Delegation
The Spanish Delegation has requested that the list of products for which  
a marketing year is fixed - is given in Article 2a of Regulation (EEC)
No 516/77 on the common organization of the markets in processed fruit and  
vegetables - be extended to cover processed products based on:
- apricots (year from 1 May to 30 April),
- satsumas (year from 1 October to 30 September),
- artichokes,
- sweet pepper,
- asparagus.
It has also requested that the same products be covered by Annex la of  
the same Regulation in order to qualify for the Community production aid  
scheme provided for in Article 3a.
The Spanish Delegation has also reserved its position with regard to  
deep-frozen products.
Proposed Community position
The Commission takes the view that serious difficulties prevent inclusion  
of the products mentioned on the list of products qualifying for the  
Community production aid scheme provided for in Regulation (EEC) No 516/77.  
The following must be borne in mind:
- the financial implications of such a measure, given the presence in the  
ten-country Community of identical or comparable production,
- Portugese
- the fact that at the present time there is no regular production price  
support system for processing aid system in Spain for these products.
Accordingly, the Community should not accept the Spanish request.
(l) The Portugese Delegation has requested the inclusion in the list in
Annex la of plums and certain deep-frozen vegetables (sweet pepper, broad  
beans, beans (Phaseolus), peas (P. sativum) and cauliflowers).

-45-
2. Limitation of the production aid to a given quantity  
Position of the Spanish Delegation
Article 3a(5) of Regulation (EEC) No 516/77 stipulates that if production  
expands unduly, the production aid may be confined to a given quantity.
The Spanish Delegation has expressed concern as to the effects limitations  
might have on Spanish production. If such a limitation were in force at  
the time of accession, the Delegation argues that it would he unfair to  
hold Spain responsible for any overproduction.
Consequently, the Spanish Delegation has taken the view that Spanish  
production should he kept outside any production limitation during the  
early years following accession.
Proposed Community position
The Spanish request is prohahly motivated hy the fact that Community production  
has expanded sharply since the processing aid was introduced, while Spanish  
production is shown as marking time or even declining.
The lack, at the present stage, of figures for Spain prevents any accurate  
assessment of these changes.
The Commission none the less takes the view that the Community should not  
accept the Spanish request: the Commission takes the view that the production  
aid should he restricted in quantitative terms. This policy has taken  
practical form with regard to pears and cherries, for which the aid granted  
to each industry is confined to a certain percentage of the quantities  
produced during a reference marketing year. Under this policy, guarantee  
thresholds have heen agreed for tomato concentrates and whole peeled tomatoes  
under the price proposals for the 1982/1983  season.
The main reason for these measures is the desire to avoid market disequilibria due  
to an excess of supply over demand of a kind which could he harmful both to  
processors and to growers.

3. Residual import restrictions  
Position of the Spanish Delegation
The Spanish Delegation has raised a problem identical to that which it  
raised with regard to fresh fruit and vegetables (see point D 9 above):  
the Delegation has requested that Spain should be free to retain vis-a-vis  
non-member countries quantitative restrictions for the products mentioned  
in Article 13(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 516/77, i.e. citrus fruit juice  
coming under heading ex 20#07 of the Common Customs Tariff, except  
grapefruit juice.
Proposed Community position
As in the case of fresh fruit and vegetables, commercial policy with regard  
to imports in this sector has not been unified, and the Member States  
have been authorized to maintain vis-à-vis non-member countries a "standstill’ '  
situation with regard to quantitative restrictions or measures of equivalent  
effect applied at 1 January 1975# The Council has not yet taken a decision  
on the arrangements to operate from 31 December 1977 onwards, and this 
"standstill" arrangement therefore remains in force.
It should be stressed that the relevant provision is not automatically  
applicable to the new Member State, were it only because of the date chosen  
as. starting date for the "standstill", a date which can be of distoric  
significance only for the States which were members of the Community at the  
time.
The Commission takes the view that the Community should not accept the  
Spanish request, because the problem would be further complicated if  
Article 13(3) of Regulation (EEC) No 516/77 were to serve as a basis for  
new national measures and because such measures would mean a step backwards  
to the detriment of efforts to unify the commercial policy on imports of  
agricultural products, although unification remains the objective.

PART II
OBSERVATIONS
APPLICATION IN SPAIN OF GO-RESPONSIBILITY WITH REGARD TO MILK AMD MILK
PRODUCTS
In accordance with the method used for the examination of secondary  
agricultural law, the Community acts relating to co-responsibility  
measures in the milk sector have been treated as having lapsed on the  
foreseeable date for the accession of Spain, given the duration of  
validity at present fixed·
However, the Spanish Delegation has already stated that it does not  
challenge the principle of co-responsibility in the milk sector, but  
would wish, at the present stage, to reserve its position on  
implementing procedures for the principle if such measures were still  
in force when Spain joins·

V O L U M E  I I
Technical conclusions of the examination  
of secondary legislation on agriculture.

-  2 -
ppri.irilNARY -R E M A K E S,»^
<1. The acts dealt' with in this report have been examined in accordance with
the same procedure as that followed during the accession negotiations
with Greece. As the procedure is described in the first report on the
examination of Community secondary legislation (relating to transport) (1),
1.
it seems unnecessary to describe it again here.
2. Some of the features of that procedure are specific to agriculture. They  
were described in the previous Agricultural Report (2) but, for reasons of  
clarity, should perhaps be repeated in this document.
The conclusions of the scutiny of the subject areas dealt with in the Community  
secondary legislation relating to agriculture are set out separately in the  
annexes according to the sector or, in some cases, the sub-sector concerned.
In each annex, the acts referred to are classified as follows :
I. Acts (other than annual acts) not requiring technical adaptations  
(but which may necessitate institutional adaptation to take account  
of the weighting of the votes provided for under Management Committee  
procedures, this being specified in each case).
II. ^i) Acts requiring technical adaptations which can be clearly formulated
now, i.e. addition or deletion of certain wordings, information or  
references relating to Spain.
^b) Acts requiring only linguistic adaptations which can be made during  
the interim period.
(1) Doc. Com (79) 569 Final of 25.10.1979
(2) Doc. COM (80) 915 Final of 12.01.1981

Ill. Acts requiring technical.adaptations the formulation of which cannot  
yet be proposed and concerning :
(a) either important matters, the formulation of which will depend on
the outcome of the accession negotiations on the subject in question,
(b) less imqortant matters, the formulation of which can be adopted only  
after certain information has been received (in some cases this  
information may, for practical reasons,-only be available just
'  before actual accession).
IV. Acts which are still being examined. '
V. .  Acts regarded as "-annuar' acts, i.e. for the most part Regulations
fixing prices or marketing measures valid for one marketing year.
•  These acts are sub-divided into :  ·  .
(a) those not requiring technical adaptation (see I);
(b) those requiring technical adaptations which can already be clearly
formulated (see II (a) or (b); '·.·’·*·  ■ · .  '
■  (c) those requiring technical adaptations which cannot as yet be clearly  
formulated (see III). ·  ·  -
/I. Acts (other than those in category V) which, will no longer be applicable
as the time of Spain's accession./  *
.  ,  ·  ·
It may happen that one act requires adaptations of different types; in this
case, in order to avoid tedious repetitions of the wording of acts, such an
act will be mentioned in only one category, preferably in the first category
encountered, following the order III (a), III (b), II (a), II (b).
To make them stand out more, the basic regulations in each sector or sub-sector  
have been underlined.

/ . ,  for etch sector, oil the r-econ'd-nry  legislation adopted by the Council or the  
Cor,rnssiori has been scrutinized, with the exception of acts relating to day-  
to-day market administration, - known as periodic instruments - which gene­
rally have a limited period of validity, and whose titles are printed in  
light type in the Official Journal.
Certain purely administrative actshave  also not been included; these are,  
generally speaking, Commission Decisions addressed to a particular Member-  
State (for example, decisions on the clearance of the EAGGF accounts) or  
■  referring to a very specific subject (e.g. decisions approving the financing  
of certain structural projects).
However, as an exception to the general rule of only considering acts of a  
permanent nature, the examination of secondary agricultural legislation  
includes Some acts which are applicable for only a limited'period, but which  
are directly connected with the annual decisions on agricultural prices.
In the case of these acts, attention has bc-en paid to price mechanisms
rather than levels, on the assumption that when p„r .t .,,„.,iPortugal actually joins the
Community they will have lapsed, but will doubtless have been replaced by  
similar acts; acts of this kind are classified under one or other of the.  
sub-divisions of category V, according to whether or not technical adaptations  
are required, and, where appropriate, according to the type of adaptation,  
this classification only applying of course if other similar acts are in
force when Portugal becomes a member of the Community '  "
5. Where the existence of substantive problems (and not just purely technical  
questions) has been discovered, they have been indicated in the Annexes and  
also described in detail in Volume I.

- 5 -
The subject areas covered by this report were examined on the basis of  
inventories of instruments, updated as closely as possible to the day on  
wich they were examined jointly with the Spanish délégation.

- Processed fruit and

- Live plants and flowers 26.3.1980 86 to 90
It is therefore possible that subsequent to the various dates of the  
updatings Community legislation has changed with the adoption oi new  
acts or amendments to or the repeal of existing instruments. Such  
cases do not constitute omissions or anomalies :  the system of exami­
nation selected implies such situations.
Amendments wich have been made meanwhile will be examined later in  
such a way that when the negotiations are completed there wilt be a  
complete inventory of secondary legislation, fully updated, to be  
applied by the new Member State. .  ■·
A second survey of secondary legislation designed to permit the  
updating of technical adjustments or discussion of more fundamental
problems is under way . This second round
will be followed by a third and so.on until the end of the negotiations.
