Proposal  for a 

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) 

amending Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 on the common organisation of the markets 
in processed fruit and vegetable products 

(presented by the Commission) 

EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 

At  the  Agriculture  Council  on  23-25  June  1997,  the  Commission  was  asked  to  present  as 
quickly as possible an amendment to Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 as part of the price package 
agreement for the 1997/98 marketing year. 

The amendment reduces the French quota for tinned whole peeled tomatoes by  15 000 tonnes 
and increases  the  quota for  other products  by  the  same  amount  so  as  to  take  account  of the 
needs of the French processing industry. 

To this end, the French quota in Annex III is amended for these two product groups, as are the 
total quantities for these groups in Article 6(2).

thereof,

Whereas Annex III to Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 allocates fresh tomatoes by Member State 
and  product  group  for  the  1997/98  and  1998/99  marketing  years;  whereas,  in  the  case  of 
France, to adjust  its quota of tinned whole peeled tomatoes and its quota of other products to 
the  needs  of  its  processing  industry,  the  quota  for  tinned  whole  peeled  tomatoes  should  be 
reduced  by  15000 tonnes and the quota for  other products  should  be increased  by the same 
amount; whereas the total quantities for these two product groups as set out in Article 6(2) of 
the Regulation should also be adjusted as a result,
