Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 516 /77 of 14 March 1977 on the
common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and
vegetables *^*, as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1152/78*^* and in particular the
third       subparagraph of Article 3 a ( 1 ) and the first subparagraph of
Article 10 (3 ) thereof ,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 3 a of Regulation ( EEC ) No 516/ 77 introduced a system of
production aid for certain products processed from fruit and vegetables
 listed in Annex la of that Regulation ; whereas the object of the said aid ,
which is based on the difference between production prices in the Community
and those in non-member countries, is to enable Community products to be sold
at prices which compete with those charged by the major non-member producing
countries ;
Whereas the situation encountered in respect of the products listed in Annex la
is also encountered in respect of certain other products which have             particular
importance in the Community 's Mediterranean regions ; whereas the system of
production aid referred to above should therefore be extended to the said
products by including them in Annex la to Regulation ( EEC ) No 516 / 77;

                                 cessc    from fruit and vegetables ( 1 ), as

                                 mission,
Whereas Article 3a of Council Regulation ( EEC ) N° 516 /77 established a
system of production aid for certain products processed from fruit and
vegetables ; whereas in cases where the Community 's production potential
is likely to bring about a substantial imbalance between production and
market outlets , the said Article provides the possibility of limiting the
aid to a specified quantity , taking account of average production for the
three years preceding the marketing year for which the aid is fixed ;
Whereas this risk of imbalance is present for Williams pears preserved
in syrup , as listed in Annex la to Regulation ( EEC ) No 516/ 77 ; whereas
the aid should accordingly be limited         in respect of this product
to a specified quantity in accordance with the criteria laid down above ;
whereas it is appropriate to fix this quantity at 105 % of 1978 pro­
duction, which corresponds to 85 % of the average referred to above and          .
to t05 % of the average of 1 97? and- 1978 production ;
                                                                      m • m/• ••
