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: 

Article 1 

This Regulation  lays down specific measures to remedy,  in respect of 

certain agricultural  products, the difficulties caused by the remote and 

insular nature of  the Azores and Madeira.

SPECIFIC SUPPLY  ARRANGEMENTS 

Article 2 

For each marketing year, forecast  supply balances shall  be established for 

the agricultural  products necessary  for human consumption and  processing 

listed  in Annex  I for  the Azores and Annex  II for Madeira.  These  balances 

may be revised during  the year on the basis of  trends  in the regions' 

requirements.  Separate forecasts may be made to assess the requirements of 

the processing and packaging  industries regarding products for  the  local 

market or traditionally dispatched  to the rest of  the  Community. 

Art icle 3 

1. Levies and/or customs duties shall not  apply  to direct  imports  into the

to  these  regions  shall  also  be  effected  through  the mobilization  of 

Community  products  held  in  intervention  storage  or  available  on  the 

Community  market,  on  terms  equivalent,  for  the  end  user,  to  the 

advantage  resulting  from  exemption  from  import  duties  on  imports  of 

products  from  third  countries. 

The  terms of  supply  shall  be  fixed  with  reference  to  the  costs  of 

various  sources  of  supply  and  the  prices  applied  to exports  to  third 

countries.

I.  Loss of levy 

In principle no levy will be lost because supply will be  from the EEC 
only. 

II.  Supply aid 

The figures are indicative and based on the quantities currently 
imported  from the rest of the Community.  They will have to be 
reviewed annually  in accordance with Articles  2,  3 and 10. 

The aid is equivalent to the current  level of refunds.
