Brussels, 9 April 1992 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) 
Introducing specific Measures for the Azores and Madeira 
concerning certain agricultural products 
(presented by the Commission) 
- 1 -
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
On 26 June 1991 the Council adopted a programme of options specific to the 
remote and insular nature of Madeira and the Azores (Poseima) (Decision 
91/315/EEC). 
This proposal constitutes the initial implementation of Poseima and 
establishes a framework regulation for agricultural measures financed by 
the EAGGF Guarantee Section. 
The purpose of Poseima is to reduce the cost of supplies and encourage the 
economic and social development of Madeira and the Azores, 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 these islands and the imminent 
completion of the internal market, the proposal provides for a series of 
mu111 annua I, mult{sectoral measures to facilitate supply and help to 
improve the production and marketing of the agricultural produce of the 
regions.

Proposal for a 
CTfNCIl REGULATION (EEC) 
introducing specific Measures for the Azores and Madeira 
concerning certain agricultural products 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, 
and In particular Article 43 thereof, 
Having regard to the Treaty of Accession of Spain and Portugal, and in 
particular Article 234(3) 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 Decision 91/315/EEC of 26 June 1991 setting up a programme 
of options specific to the remote and insular nature of Madeira and the 
Azores (Poseima)1 outlines the options to be implemented to take account 
of the specific problems and constraints faced by these very remote 
regions; 
Whereas the exceptional geographical situation of these regions 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 countr ies; 
1 OJ No L 171, 29.6.1991, p. 10. 
- 2 -
Whereas, to maintain the competitiveness of the above products of Community 
origin in the islands, both in order to achieve the Poseima 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 these regions 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 
cost8 and consumer prices; whereas their actual impact should therefore be 
monitored; 
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 
islands and redispatched or re-exported, within the limits of usual trade 
fIows; 
Whereas the specific conditions of agriculture in the Azores and Madeira 
require special attention and whereas measures are necessary both for 
stockfarming and animal products and for crop products; 
- 3 -
Whereas, to promote the development of traditional stockfarming in the 
islands, 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 and for the 
maintenance of suckler herds, and the consumption of locally produced fresh 
milk products should be promoted; whereas, with regard to the Azores, the 
major role played by cattle farming and milk production in the economy of 
the islands should be taken into account and the above-mentioned measures 
should be supplemented with aid for the maintenance of the dairy herd and 
private storage aid for cheeses traditionally manufactured in the region; 
Whereas, in the fruit, vegetables, plants and floricultural 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 tropical products from these regions; 
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 and satisfy consumer 
habits, provision should be made for aid for certain crops and specific 
products; 
Whereas, in the case of Madeira, such measures must, in particular, concern 
the production of potatoes for human consumption and sugar cane and the 
processing of sugar cane into sugar syrup and agricultural rum; whereas 
assistance should also be given to the manufacture of the island's liqueur 
wines using traditional methods by facilitating the purchase of 
concentrated must and vinous alcohol from the rest of the Community and by 
granting aid for the ageing of these wines; 
- A -
Whereas, in the case of the Azores, such measures must, in particular, help 
to improve the conditions in which sugarbeet is produced and the 
competitiveness of local sugar manufacturing, within the limit of 
determined quantities; whereas they must also concern specific crops such 
as seed potatoes, endives and pineapple; 
Whereas, with the same objectives in mind, intervention measures under the 
market organization for wine and grubbing premiums should not be applied in 
these regions and aid should be granted for vines producing quality wines 
psr which meet the requirements laid down in the Community rules; 
Whereas the plant health of agricultural crops in these islands is subject 
to particular problems associated with the climate and the inadequacy of 
the control measures hitherto applied there; whereas programmes should be 
implemented to combat harmful organisms and the Community's financial 
contribution towards such programmes should be specified; 
Whereas farms in the Azores and Madeira 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; 
Whereas certain structural measures essential for the development of 
agriculture in these regions 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; 
- 5 -
Whereas banana cultivation is of fundamental importance to the economy of 
Madeira; 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:

certain agricultural products, the difficulties caused by the remote and
