EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 

1.  In 1983  the Council  adopted  arrangements  for  extending  the  rules  in 
the  fruit  and  vegetables  sector  with  the aim of  strengthening  the 
role of  producer  organisations,  In particular  as  regards  the way 
the markets operate, by permitting  the Member  States, on  a  request 
from  the producer  organisations and under  certain  conditions,  to 
extend  to all  producers  not  members  of  such organisations  certain 
rules adopted  for  the members. 

2.  Those  arrangements, which  were  provided  for  In Article  15b of 

Council  Regulation  (EEC) n*  1035/72 of  18 May  1972 on  the  common 
organisation  of  the market  in fruit  and  vegetables,  came  Into  force 
in 1985. 

The  arrangements  entail  two stages: 

Stage one, which  was  to  last  until  1988, provided  for  the 
possibility of  extending  rules where  the  representativeness of 
organisations reached  50% of marketed  production  and  the  same 
percentage  of  the  total  number  of  producers  in a given  economic 
area; 

Stage  two provided  for  two-thirds  representativeness as  regards 
both  the number  of  producers  and  the quantity of  marketed 
production. 

3.  The  Introduction  of  the arrangements  on  the extension  of  the  rules 

went  more  slowly  than anticipated  and  accordingly  the  transition  to 
two-thirds representativeness had  to be delayed  and  a  second 
transitional  period  Introduced  to run until  the end of  the 
marketing  year  for  each of  the products  beginning  In 1991. 

4.  The Commission  Is to submit  to the Council  before  31 October  1991  a 
report  together, where  appropriate, with  proposals  enabling  the 
Council  to  take  a decision  to maintain,  amend  or  abolish  the 
arrangements  for  extending  the  rules  In question.  This  report  and 
the accompanying  proposal  were  drawn  up  to meet  that  obligation. 

4 b' va 

second report on  the system for  extending 

thft rules  In the  fruit  and vegetables sector 

1.  In 1983 the Council  adopted  a number  of provisions  the aim of  which 

was  to back up the work of  the producers' organisations,  In 

particular  as regards the operation of  the markets, by permitting 

the Member  States, at  the request  of  the organisations and under 

-certain conditions, to extend  to all  non-member  producers certain 

rules adopted by  Its members  (article 15b(1)  of  regulation 

(EEC) n*  1035/72). 

2.  These provisions,  In addition  to backing up  the work of  the 

producers' organisations,  were also adopted  in order  to achieve 

greater  stability on  the market.  The Member  States were  also 

allowed  to extend, under  certain conditions, the  rules. In 

particular  as regards production and placing on  the market, adopted 

by  the producers' organisation  in the region concerned  and  applying 

to  its members. 

3.  The  arrangements  for extending  the rules  Implemented  by 

regulation  (EEC) n*  1977/85 of  16 July  1985 

(OJ  n' L  186. 19.07.1985, p. 2)  initially provided  for several 

stages,  involving  in particular  the representativeness of  producers 

and  production marketed. 

4.  Article  3 of Council  regulation  (EEC) n*  3285/83  laid down  the 

conditions of  representativeness of  producers' organist Ions during 

the various  stages provided  for  in article  15B of 

regulation  (EEC) n*  1035/72,  I.e. 50% of production  and  producers 

In the  first  stage and  two-thirds of production and  producers  in 

the  second  stage. 

-  2 -

5.  On expiry  of  the  third  year  of  application of  the arrangements,  the 

time span of  the  first  stage,  the Commission  was  to  forward  to  the 

Council  a report  accompanied,  where  appropriate,  by  proposals 

enabling  the Council  to decide whether  the arrangements  in question 

should  be maintained, amended  or  repealed. 

6.  This  report  (Document  COM(88) 727 final) was presented  to the 

Council  on 8 December  1988 together  with  a proposal  for a 

regulation which  was  to cover  the period  from  the beginning of  1989 

to October  1991.  It outlined  the situation as regards  the  system 

for  extending  the rules since  that  system  was  set  up  in 1983 and 

Implemented  from  1985  to the end of  1988. 

It should  be pointed out  that  France was  the only  country  to  have 

implemented  the  system. 

7.  One of  the main points made  in the  report  In question  was  that  the 

Introduction  of  the system  had  been  slower  than  anticipated  and 

that  as a result  the producers' organisations,  In particular, had 

had  difficulties  in reaching  the  thresholds  of  representativeness 

required  for  going  over  to the.second  stage.  On expiry  of  the 

third  year  of  application,  it was provided  under  the  arrangements, 

as mentioned  above,  that  the producers' organisations had  to cover 

at  least  two-thirds of  the producers of  the economic  area  In which 

they operated  and  at  least  two-thirds of  the production  In that 

area  Instead  of  50% during  the  first  three  years.  At  the end  of 

the  initial  three-year  period, only  20 out  of  the 48 cases  in which 

rules were  extended  at  the  time could  the arrangements  be 

maintained  In accordance with  the requirements of  the  rules  In 

force. 

I 

- à- -

8.  In view of  this state of affairs and  in order  not  to undermine  the 

positive contribution  towards regularising supplies and expanding 

markets or some producers' organisations which  had not attained  the 

levels or  representativeness  required  from  the  fourth  year onwards, 

a transitional  solution was  reached  for an additional  period not 

exceeding  the end of  the marketing  year beginning  In 1991  for  the 

product or products concerrned.  The abovementloned provisions were 

laid down  In Council  regulation  (EEC) n*  1011/89 of  17 April  1989 

amending  regulation  (EEC) n*  3285/83  laying down general  rules for 

the extension of certain  rules  Issued by producers' organisations 

in the  fruit  and  vegetables  sector^1). 

9.  This regulation  provides  that: 

the new producers' organisations  shall  be considered 

representative  if they  cover  at  least  two-thirds of  the 

produces  In the economic  areas  in which  they operate  and at 

least  two-thirds of  the production of  those areas; 

the  for^er  producers' organ'satlonsi whIch  do not  satisfy  the 

conditions of  the  first  indent shall, however, be considered 

representative  for  the application of  the system  for  extending 

the rules  If, for one or more products, they cover more  than 

50% of  the producers and more  than 50% of  the production  since 

the entry  Into force of  the system  provided  for  In article  15b, 

and  If those organisations have  Increased  their  degree of 

representation, either  by  the percentage of producers or  by  the 

percentage of  production  In the area concerned  since  that  date. 

10. To enable  the new Member  States  to benefit, as appropriate, from 

the extension of  this system, this regulation has made  It possible, 

for  the duration of a period equivalent  to that by which  the  first 

stage was extended,  for  a producers' organist Ion constituted  in 

Spain or  Portugal  to be considered  representative for  the purposes 

of  the system,  if  It covers more  than 50% of  the producers  in the 

economic  area  In which  It operates and more  than 50% of  the 

production of  that  area. 

(1) OJ n* L 109, 20.04.1989, p. 4 

-  4 -

Spain and Portugal  have not  yet made use of  this optfon.  According 

to  Information available to Community  staff, the conditions of 

representativeness have not  yet  been satisfied  for a  large number 

of producers' organisations, and  requests  for extending  the  ruler 

have consequently not  yet  been  formulated. 

11. The French authorities have forwarded  to the Commission  the  figures 

showing  the trend of  the system  for extending  the rules since  the 

Introduction of  the Community  system up  to 1990.  An assessment  can 

hence be made of the représentation  trends  In terms both of  number 

of producers and the volume of production  in the different  economic 

areas  (see annex).  It emerges  that  In all  the economic  areas, with 

the exception of Aquitaine-Llmousln-Charentes (in respect  of 

cucumbers  and carrots), the degree of  representation on  the whole 

very  largely exceeds two-thirds. 

12. There are clearly economic  considerations underlying  the mechanism 

for extending  the rules and  the option of making use of  It.  The 

main objectives of extending  the rules  Involve encouraging an ever-

Incneaslng number  of producers  to join producers' organisations  in 

the region by showing what  ber.-Mt  there  Is for  them  to  Join, while 

at  the same time also encouraging  and promoting  the work of  those 

organist ions. 

The producers' organisations should  be made  Increasingly  attractive 

for non-members, and  the extension of  the rules  Is simply one means 

of strengthening  producers' organisations at national  level  In the 

long run. 

Since non-member  producers must  fulfill  all  the obligations 

devolving on members without  obtaining  any of  the advantages,  they 

have every  Interest  In becoming members  In time of the 

organisations  In their  region. 

The extension of the rules  Is fully  Justified  as  it stands  In the 

Initial  regulation, and  the Commission  therefore proposes  that  the 

system  for extending  the rules be maintained  in  its final  stage  as 

provided  for by  the regulations  in force. 

-  5 -

13. The producers' organisations  In the new Member  States have not yet, 

however, attained  a degree of  representation allowing  them to be 

covered  by the regulations. 

Under  the circumstances, the Commission proposes that,  In order  to 

encourage  the development  of producers' organist Ions and their 

associations or unions  in Spain and Portugal, the  lower 

requirements of  representation provided  for  in regulation 

(EEC) n' 1011/89 (50% of producers and 50% of production) be 

maintained  In those Member  States during a few more marketing years 

so that  the system  for extending  the rules may  be  implemented. 

14. A proposal  is attached  for a Council  regulation  adopting  the 

provisions  for  the  Implementation of  these measures.

Proposal  for a

Issued by producers' organisations  In the fruit and vegetables sector 

*H 

Proposal for a 

COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) N* 

/91 

of 

amending regulation (EEC) n* 3285/83 

laying down general rules for  the extension of certain rules 

Issued by producers' organisations In the fruit and vegetables sector 

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 

Having regard to Council regulation (EEC) n* 1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on 
the common organisation of the market  In fruit and vegetables^1), as 

last amended by regulation (EEC) n" 

<2), and  in particular 

article 15b(10) thereof. 

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 

Whereas article 3 of Council regulation (EEC) n' 3285/83(3), as 
amended by regulation (EEC) n' l011/89(4), lays down the criteria for 
producers' organisations to be considered representative in terms of 

both number of producers and quantity of marketed production for the 

purposes of applying the systesj for extending the rules; whereas, on 

the expiry of an Initial period  of  three years, those provisions 

require producers' organisations to meet higher requirements relating 

to representativeness In order for an extension of the rules to be 

authorised; 

(1) 0J n' L 118, 20.05.1972, p. 1. 

(2) OJ n' L 

(3) OJ n* L 325, 22.11.1983, p. 8. 

(4) OJ n' L 109, 20.04.1989, p. 4. 

25 

Whereas, on  the expiry of  the  Initial  period,  it transplreddPthat a 

large number  of producers' organisations could  not meet  the higher 

requirements  relating  to representativeness  laid down  for  the second 

stage of  the arrangements  for extending  the  rules-, whereas,  In order  to 

take  Into account  the positive  contribution  In regulating  supply  and 

expanding markets of  the most  dynamic organisations,  regulation 

(EEC) n' 1011/89 maintains  for an additional  period of several 

marketing  years  the degree of  representativeness  laid down  for  the 

first  period  for  the organisations which  had stepped up their  degree of 

representativeness since  the  Implementation of  the arrangements and had 

obtained  an extension of certain of  their  rules to non-members; whereas 

the same derogation was applied with  a view  to encouraging  a positive 

contribution  in Spain and Portugal  by  producers' organisations 

recognised  since accession; . 

Whereas, on  the expiry of  that  second period, the reasons which 

Justified  an extension of  the provisional  arrangements  regarding 

requirements  relating  to representativeness may  be  Invoked solely with 

a view to encouraging  the development  of  the activities of producers' 

organisations  In the new Member  States which  still  qualify under  the 

arrangements  laid down  for  the second  phase or  the second  stage of  the 

transitional  period  following accession; whereas, as a consequence,  the 

transitional  arrangements  relating  to representativeness referred  to 

above should  apply only  to their  producers' organisations, 

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 

A r t i c le 1 

Regulation  (EEC) n' 3285/83  is hereby  amended  as follows: 

1.  Article  3(2) and  (3) are replaced  by»the following: 

"2. Producers' organisations or  associations  thereof  set up  In 

Spain or  Portugal  shall  be considered  representative for  the 

purposes of  this system where  they  cover  more  than 50% of  the 

producers  in the economic  area  In which  they operate and more 

than 50% of  the production  of  that  area. 

â(o 

The  rules referred  to  In article  15b of  regulation 

(CEE) n*  1035/72  Issued by producers' organisations or 

associations  thereof considered  representative pursuant  to the 

first  subparagraph may  not  be binding on non-member  producers 

established  In the economic area  If, after  all  the producers  in 

the area  have been consulted,  at  least  one  third of  them have 

expressed opposition. 

The provisions of  this paragraph  shall  apply until  the end of 

the fifth marketing year  for  the relevant  product(s) which 

follows, depending on  the Member  State concerned,  the end of 

the first  phase or the second stage of  the transitional period 

fo11owIng access Ion." 

2.  Article 4  is repealed. 

Article 2 

This regulation shall  enter  Into force on the third day  following  Its 

publication  in the Official  Journal  of  the European  Communities. 

This regulation shall  be binding  In  Its entirety  and directly 

applicable  In all Member  states.
