GROUPS MAY FIX FOR CERTAIN PRODUCTS A WITHDRAWAL PRICE BELOW WHICH THEY WILL NOT OFFER FOR SALE PRODUCTS SUPPLIED BY THEIR MEMBERS . BY WITHDRAWING PRODUCTS PRODUCERS ' ORGANIZATIONS ARE ABLE TO STABILIZE PRICES ; IN CERTAIN CIRCUM STANCES , FINANCIAL COMPENSATION MAY BE GRANTED TO COVER THE COSTS OF WITHDRAWAL . SECONDLY , ARTICLE 19 OF THAT REGULATION ESTABLISHES INTERVENTION MEASURES FOR CERTAIN PRODUCTS , INCLUDING CAULIFLOWERS , APPLICABLE TO ALL PRODUCERS . INTERVENTION UNDER THAT ARTICLE MAY , HOWEVER , TAKE PLACE ONLY WHERE THE COMMISSION HAS FOUND THAT THE MARKET IN QUESTION IS IN A STATE OF SERIOUS CRISIS ; ONCE SUCH A FINDING HAS BEEN MADE THE MEMBER STATES MUST , THROUGH THE INTERVENTION AGENCIES , BUY IN PRODUCTS WHICH SATISFY COMMUNITY QUALITY STANDARDS AND HAVE NOT YET BEEN WITHDRAWN FROM THE MARKET BY PRODUCERS ' GROUPS UNDER ARTICLE 15 , AT PRICES DETERMINED UNDER COMMUNITY RULES .
19 IT MAY BE CONCLUDED FROM THAT SUMMARY THAT REGULATION NO 1035/72 ESTABLISHES AN EXHAUSTIVE BODY OF RULES GOVERNING THE MATTER , AND MAKES A VERY CLEAR DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE INTERVENTION MECHANISMS WHICH MAY BE INITIATED BY PRODUCERS ' GROUPS AND THOSE WHICH ARE APPLICABLE TO ALL PRODUCERS . CONSEQUENTLY , A MEMBER STATE HAS NO POWER TO EXTEND TO ALL PRODUCERS THE INTERVENTION RULES LAID DOWN BY PRODUCERS ' ORGANIZATIONS .
20 FURTHERMORE , EXAMINATION OF REGULATION NO 1035/72 SHOWS THAT THE MAIN OBJECTIVE OF THE COMMON ORGANIZATION OF THE MARKET IN THE FRUIT AND VEGETABLE SECTOR IS THE STANDARDIZATION OF PRODUCTION BY THE APPLICATION OF COMMON QUALITY STANDARDS , AND THAT ALTHOUGH IT PROVIDES FOR CERTAIN LIMITED INTERVENTION MECHANISMS , IT IS BASED ON THE PRINCIPLE OF AN OPEN MARKET , THAT IS TO SAY A MARKET TO WHICH EVERY PRODUCER HAS FREE ACCESS AND WHOSE OPERATION IS REGULATED ONLY BY THE MEASURES PROVIDED FOR BY THE COMMON ORGANIZATION . CONSEQUENTLY , A REQUIREMENT THAT A PRODUCER SHOULD OFFER HIS ENTIRE CROP FOR PUBLIC SALE EXCLUSIVELY AT MARKETS APPROVED BY A PRODUCERS ' ORGANIZATION SUCH AS CERAFEL CANNOT BE EXTENDED TO PRODUCERS WHO ARE NOT MEMBERS OF THAT ORGANIZATION .
21 IT SHOULD BE ADDED THAT , AS CERAFEL HAS CORRECTLY OBSERVED , THE EXTENSION OF RULES PROVIDING FOR AN ANNUAL DECLARATION OF AREAS CULTIVATED , ALSO REFERRED TO BY THE NATIONAL COURT , CONCERNS THE GATHERING OF INFORMATION THAT MAY SERVE AS THE BASIS FOR RESEARCH TO PROMOTE IMPROVED QUALITY AND SALES OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES . SUCH A RULE IS NOT CONTRARY TO THE COMMON ORGANIZATION OF THE MARKET , WHICH CONTAINS NO RELEVANT PROVISION ; ITS APPLICATION TO NON-MEMBER PRODUCERS MAY RESULT IN BENEFITS FOR ALL PRODUCERS IN THE REGION .
22 WITH REGARD TO THE REQUIREMENT THAT NON-MEMBERS SHOULD CONTRIBUTE TO THE FINANCING OF FUNDS ESTABLISHED BY A PRODUCERS ' ORGANIZATION , THE COURT HAS ALREADY HELD THAT SUCH A REQUIREMENT IS UNLAWFUL IN SO FAR AS IT SERVES TO FINANCE ACTIVITIES WHICH ARE THEMSELVES HELD TO BE CONTRARY TO COMMUNITY LAW
