COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1513/1999

of 9 July 1999

setting for the 1999/2000 marketing year the minimum price and the amount of production aid for
processed tomato products

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 amended by Regu-
lation (EC) No 2199/97 (2), and in particular Article 3(3) and
Article 4(9) thereof,

(1) Whereas pursuant to Article 3(1) of Regulation (EC) No
2201/96 the minimum price to be paid to producers is
to be determined on the basis of the minimum price
applying during the previous marketing year, changes in
prices in the fruit and vegetable sector and the need to
ensure the normal marketing of fresh products for the
various uses,
including supply to the processing
industry;

(2) Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2022/92 (3),
which lays down detailed rules of application for the
minimum price to be paid to producers for certain
tomatoes used in the production of tomato concentrate,
juice and flakes on the basis of the soluble dry weight
content, should continue to apply;

(3) Whereas Article 4 of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 lays
down the criteria for fixing the amount of production
aid; whereas account must, in particular, be taken of the
aid fixed or calculated before the reduction provided for
in paragraph 10 of
the previous
marketing year, adjusted to take account of changes in
the minimum price to be paid to producers and the
difference between the cost of the raw material in the
Community and in the major competing third countries;
whereas,
in respect of tomato concentrates, preserved
whole peeled and unpeeled tomatoes and tomato juices,

that Article for

changes in the volume and prices of imports must be
taken into consideration;

(4) Whereas Article 4(10) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96
stipulates that the aid set for tomato concentrates and
their derivatives is to be reduced by 5,37 %; whereas a
supplement to the reduced aid is to be paid on the basis
of the quantities of tomato concentrate produced for
France and Portugal;

(5) 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
