EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 

Re: 

Draft Council Regulation  (EEC) No 
marketing year the percentages referred to in Article 3(1)(a) of 
Regulation  (EEC) No 426/86  in connection with the premium granted 
for products processed  from tomatoes. 

./92 setting  for the 1992/93 

Article 3(1)(a) of Regulation  (EEC) No 426/86 provides for the grant of a 
premium equivalent to 2% of the aid payable in respect of those quantities 
of finished products produced from tomatoes obtained  from the quantity of 
fresh tomatoes supplied under contracts concluded with producers' 
associations. 

The premium is only paid if the processors or their associations: 

have accepted all the fresh tomatoes covered by the contracts; 

can prove that the tomatoes processed under the said contracts represent 
a significant percentage of the total quantity of processed tomatoes. 

The purpose of this proposal is to set the percentage applicable to the 
1992/93 marketing year at the same level as for the previous year, taking 
into account the role currently played by producers' associations  in the 
community. 

It should be recalled that the aim of the measure is to encourage 
concentration of the supply of fresh tomatoes in order to achieve a better 
administration of the quantities to be produced and the possible outlets, 
in particular those quantities going to processing.
