EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
Sublect: Council Regulation (EEC) No /90 setting for the 1990/91 
marketing year the percentage mentioned In Article 3(1a) of 
Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 In connection with the aid for products 
obtained from tomatoes 
Article 3(1a) of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 provides for the granting of a 
premium, equal to 2% of the aid, on finished tomato products obtained from 
fresh tomatoes supplied under contracts concluded with producers' groups. 
The premium Is not paid unless the processor or processors' group 
has taken over the total quantity of fresh tomatoes covered by such 
contracts, and 
provides evidence that the tomatoes processed under those contracts 
account for a significant percentage of the total quantity of tomatoes 
processed. 
This proposal sets these percentages in respect of the 1990/91 marketing 
year, with one percentage for the EEC of Ten plus Spain and one for 
Portugal, in order to take account of the role played by producers' groups 
in the Community as It stands at present. As compared with the past 
marketing year, the "significant" rates are kept at the same level (75%) 
for the EEC of Ten and for Spain, which comes In at this level for the 
first time (In 1989/90 the "significant" rate for Spain was 38%) given that 
the verification of convergence phase has come to an end. For Portugal, it 
is proposed that the "significant" rate be set at 50%, or 47% up on 
1989/90. 
It Is worth recalling that the measure is Intended to encourage the 
concentration of supplies of fresh tomatoes so as to bring the quantities 
that need to be produced more into line with possible outlets.

of tomato producers and processors and groups of processors, Regulation

additional processing premium;

1990/91 marketing year the "significant specific percentage" for the total 
quantity of processed tomatoes covered by contracts concluded with
