amending Regulation (EC) No 2879/2000 laying down detailed rules for applying Council
Regulation (EC) No 2702/1999 on measures to provide information on, and to promote,
agricultural products in third countries

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty

establishing the European

Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2702/1999 of

and to promote, agricultural products in third countries (1), and
in particular Article 11 thereof,

Whereas:

(4)

Article 3 and 4 of Regulation (EC) No 2702/1999
provide the criteria to determine the markets and
for which information and/or promotion
products
measures may be carried out in third countries. Those
markets and products are listed in the Annex to
Commission Regulation (EC) No 2879/2000 (2).

Article 5 of Regulation (EC) No 2702/1999 requires that
every two years the Commission shall draw up a list of
the markets and products referred to in Article 3 and 4
of that Regulation.

The list of
target markets should be revised to take
account of the fact that Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina,
Serbia and Montenegro, the former Yugoslav Republic of
Macedonia, Turkey and Ukraine are export markets with
particular interest for certain Member States and with
export potential for the Community in general.

Flowers and plants are products where market balance
could be improved through information and/or generic
promotion measures in third countries. Those products
should therefore be included in the list of products which
may be covered by promotional measures
in third
countries.

(5)

It is appropriate to extend the reference to cheese and
yogurt in the Annex to Regulation (EC) No 2879/2000
to include milk products in general.

Products with a protected designation of origin (PDO),
with a protected geographical indication (PGI) or with a
traditional specialty guaranteed (TSG) in accordance with
Council Regulation (EC) No 2081/92 of 14 July 1992 on
the protection of geographical
indications and desig-
nations of origin for agricultural products and food-
stuffs (3), or Council Regulation (EC) No 2082/92 of 14
July 1992 on certificates of specific character for agri-
cultural products and foodstuffs (4), and products from
organic farming, in accordance with Council Regulation
(EC) No 2092/91 of 24 June 1991 on organic
production of agricultural products and indications
referring thereto on agricultural products and food-
stuffs (5), are quality products the production of which
are considered a priority in the context of the common
agricultural policy. Those products should therefore be
to Regulation (EC) No
included
2879/2000, so as to ensure that they can benefit from
all promotion and information measures provided for in
the third country promotion regime.
