COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 2085/2002

of 25 November 2002

amending Regulation (EC) No 21/2002 establishing the supply balances and Community aid for the
outermost regions under Council Regulations (EC) Nos 1452/2001, 1453/2001 and 1454/2001 as
regards vegetable oil, products processed from fruit and vegetables and milk and milk products for
the French overseas departments and the Canary Islands

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1454/2001 of 28
June 2001 introducing specific measures for certain agricultural
products for the Canary Islands and repealing Regulation (EEC)
No 1601/92 (Poseican) (1), as last amended by Commission
Regulation (EC) No 1922/2002 (2), and in particular Article
3(6) thereof,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 1452/2001 of 28
June 2001 introducing specific measures for certain agricultural
the French overseas departments, amending
products
Directive 72/462/EEC and repealing Regulations (EEC) No 525/
77 and (EEC) No 3763/91 (Poseidom) (3), and in particular
Article 3(6) thereof,

Commission Regulation (EC) No 21/2002 (4), as last
amended by Regulation (EC) No 1976/2002 (5), estab-
lishes the forecast supply balances and Community aid
for the outermost regions under Council Regulations
(EC) No 1452/2001, (EC) No 1453/2001 (6) and (EC) No
1454/2001.

The forecast supply balance for the 2002 calendar year
for vegetable oils (except olive oil) for processing in the
French overseas departments provides for an annual
quantity of 8 500 tonnes for Réunion.
Information
provided by the French authorities shows that this will

as follows: 550 tonnes for virgin olive oil, 9 600 tonnes
for olive oil and 400 tonnes for olive-residue oil. Infor-
mation provided by the Spanish authorities shows that
the quantities allocated for virgin olive oil and olive oil
have now been exhausted. They should therefore be
increased by setting the overall quantity for the three
categories of oil at 14 500 tonnes.

The forecast supply balance for the 2002 calendar year
for fruit pulp falling within CN code 2008 and fruit
juice falling within CN code 2009 in the French overseas
departments provides
for annual quantities of 200
tonnes and 50 tonnes respectively. Information provided
by the French authorities suggests that these quantities
will be insufficient to cover the needs of the processing
industry in those departments. They should therefore be
increased to 350 tonnes of fruit pulp and 190 tonnes of
fruit juice.

The forecast supply balance for the 2002 calendar year
for the Canary Islands for products processed from fruit
and vegetables provides for annual quantities of 350
tonnes for citrus fruit falling within CN code 2008 30
tonnes and 900 tonnes for other preserved fruits falling
within CN code 2008 99. Information provided by the
Spanish authorities shows that the quantities allocated
for the two products are likely to be insufficient to cover
the needs of the processing industry in the Islands. The
quantities should therefore be increased to 400 tonnes
of citrus fruit and 1 050 tonnes of other preserved fruits.
By contrast, information shows that the quantities allo-
cated for apricots and fruit mixtures are not being used
and consequently those quantities will be reduced by 50
tonnes and 175 tonnes respectively.

The forecast supply balance for the 2002 calendar year
for olive oil
for the Canary Islands provides for an
annual overall quantity of 10 550 tonnes broken down

Regulation (EC) No 21/2002 should therefore be
amended accordingly as regards the supply of vegetable
oils to Réunion and olive oil to the Canary Islands and
the supply of processed fruit and vegetables to the
French overseas departments and the Canary Islands.

The forecast supply balance for the 2002 calendar year for the Canary Islands for dairy products
provides for an annual quantity of 106 300 tonnes for products falling within CN code 0401, i.e.
105 000 tonnes for direct consumption. Information provided by the Spanish authorities shows that
the quantity allocated for these products is likely to be insufficient to cover the direct consumption
needs of the Islands. It should therefore be increased by 8 500 tonnes. By contrast, information
shows that the quantity allocated for butter is not being used and consequently that quantity will be
reduced by 750 tonnes.

The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management
Committee for Oils and Fats, the Management Committee for Products processed from Fruit and
Vegetables and the Management Committee for Milk and Milk Products,
