COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1511/98

of 15 July 1998

and their derivatives

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 of
28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the
markets in processed fruit and vegetable products (1), as
last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2199/97 (2), and in
particular Article 4(9) thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation (EC) No 1346/97 (3)
fixes for the 1997/98 marketing year the minimum price
and the amount of aid for processed tomato products;

Whereas Article 4(10) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96
stipulates that the aid fixed for tomato concentrates and
their derivatives is to be reduced by 5,37 % so as not to
exceed the overall expenditure resulting from the increase
in the French and Portuguese quotas for concentrates;
whereas a supplement to the aid for tomato concentrates
and their derivatives may be paid after the marketing year
if the increase in French and Portuguese quotas is not
entirely used up;

Whereas the Member States have communicated the
quantities of processed tomatoes covered by the quota and
those not covered by the quota, pursuant to Article 17(2)
of Commission Regulation (EC) No 504/97 (4),
as
amended by Regulation (EC) No 1491/97 (5); whereas the
French and Portuguese quotas for concentrates for the
1997/98 marketing year have not been entirely used up;

whereas, as a result, a supplement to the aid fixed for
tomato concentrates and their derivatives in Regulation
(EC) No 1346/97 must be paid to processors who
submitted aid applications pursuant to Article 11(4) of
Regulation (EC) No 504/97;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are
in accordance with the opinion of
the Management
Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Veget-
ables,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

For the 1997/98 marketing year the supplementary
