Title: Proposal for a Council Regulation (EEC) introducing specific measures for the Canary Islands concerning certain agricultural products

COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
                                        COM(92) 144     final
                                        Brussels, 9 April 1992
                           Proposal for a
                     COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC)
       introducing spsclfIc Measures for the Canary Islands
             concerning certain agricultural products
                   (presented by the Commission)
 ---pagebreak---                            EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
On 26 June 1991 the Council adopted Regulation (EEC) No 1911/91 concerning
the integration of the Canary Islands Into the customs territory of the
Community and all the common policies.   On the same day, the Council
adopted a programme of options specific to the remote and insular nature of
the Canary Islands (Decision 91/314/EEC, Poseican) to accompany this
 integration.
This proposal constitutes the initial implementation of Poeeican and
establishes a framework regulation for agricultural measures financed by
the EAGGF Guarantee Section.
The purpose of Poseican is to reduce the cost of supplies and encourage the
economic and social development of the Islands, which have an exceptional
geographic situation and are structurally very backward in relation to
other regions in the Community.
 In view of the specific problems of the Canary Islands, which are an
 integral part of the Community, and the imminent completion of the internal
market, the proposal provides for a eeries of mult(annua I, multisectors I
measures to facilitate supply and help to improve the production and
marketing of the agricultural produce of the region.
                                                                             At.

                             COUNCIL REGULATION
             ntroducing specific measures for the Canary   Islands
                  concerning certain agricultural products
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
and in particular Articles 43 and 28 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament,
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee,
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1911/91 of 26 June 1991 on the
application of the provisions of Community   law to the Canary Islands 1 , as
amended by Regulation (EEC) No 284/92 2 , integrates the Canary Islands into
the Community's customs territory and into the common policies; whereas,
under Articles 2 and 10 of the above-mentioned Regulation, application of
the common agricultural policy is subject to the entry into force of
specific supply arrangements; whereas such application must also be
accompanied by specific measures concerning agricultural production;
Whereas Council Decision 91/314/EEC of 26 June 1991 setting up a programme
of options specific to the remote and insular nature of the Canary    Islands
(Poseican) outlines the options to be implemented to take account of the
specific problems and constraints faced by the Islands;

 ---pagebreak---                                    - 2 -
Whereas the exceptional geographical situation of the Canary Islands in
relation to the sources of supply of products used as inputs for the
everyday consumption or manufacture of certain essential foodstuffs in the
islands imposes costs which constitute a severe handicap to the sectors
concerned; whereas this natural handicap can be remedied by exemption from
levies and/or customs duties on the products in question imported directly
from third countries;
Whereas, to maintain the competitiveness of the above products of Community
origin in the Islands, both in order to achieve the Poselcan objective of
reducing prices by promoting competition between sources of supply and to
prevent disruption of traditional trade flows, provision should be made for
the supply to this region of products originating in the rest of the
Community, on terms equivalent for the end user to exemption from the levy
and/or customs duties on products originating in third countries, based on
the prices applied to exports to third countries;
Whereas the quantities of products benefiting from the specific supply
arrangements must be determined within the framework of periodic forecast
supply balances, which may be adjusted during the year on the basis of the
essential requirements of the local market and taking account of local
production and traditional trade flows;
Whereas the arrangements in question are intended to reduce production
costs and consumer prices; whereas their actual impact should therefore be
monitored;
 ---pagebreak---                                    - 3 -
Whereas, to avoid any deflection of trade, products covered by the specific
supply arrangements may not be redispatched to other parts of the Community
or re-exported to third countries; whereas, however, an exception to this
principle should be made for products traditionally processed in the Canary
Islands and redispatched or re-exported, within the limits of usual trade
fIows;
Whereas the specific conditions of agriculture in the Canary Islands
require special attention and whereas measures to accompany the entry into
force of the common agricultural policy are necessary in this regard, both
for stockfarming and animal products and for crop products;
Whereas, to promote the development of traditional stockfarming in the
Canaries, assistance should be given for genetic improvement through the
purchase of pure-bred breeding animals and supplementary premiums should be
granted for the fattening of adult male bovine animals, for the maintenance
of suckler herds and for sheepmeat and goatmeat production, and the
consumption of locally produced fresh milk products should be promoted;
whereas, pending the development of local stockfarming, provision should be
made, on a temporary and degressive basis so as not to compromise the
above-mentioned objective, for the supply of male animals for fattening,
within the limits of local consumption requirements, as periodically
assessed;
Whereas, in the fruit, vegetables, plants and flor(cultural sector,
measures should be taken to increase production and to improve farm
productivity and product quality; whereas measures should also be taken to
 improve the marketing of the Islands' tropical products;
 ---pagebreak---                                    - 4 -
Whereas the creation and promotion of a graphic symbol can also facilitate
the marketing of specific quality products;
Whereas, in order to help support local production with a view to
satisfying consumer habits in the Islands, provision should be made for
specific aid for potato-growing, within the limits of the areas under
cultivation on entry into force of this Regulation and, during a
transitional period, for degressive restrictions on imports of this product
during the sensitive period when local production is placed on the market;
Whereas, with the same objectives in mind, intervention measures under the
market organization for wine and grubbing premiums should not be applied
and aid should be granted for vines producing quality wines psr which meet
the requirements laid down in the Community rules;
Whereas, to contribute to maintaining IScai cereal production, the co-
responsibility levy payable by cereal producers should not be applied in
the Canary Islands;
Whereas, in view of the animal health status of the region, it must be
possible to grant a temporary derogation to the requirements of Council
Directive 72/462/EEC of 12 December 1972 on health and veterinary
inspection problems upon importation of animals from third countries;
Whereas farms in the Canary Islands present major structural weaknesses
from which specific difficulties derive; whereas a derogation is therefore
necessary from the rules which restrict or prohibit the grant of certain
forms of structural aid;
 ---pagebreak---                                      - 5 -
Whereas certain structural measures essential for the development of
agriculture in the Islands are financed under Community support frameworks
to promote the development and structural adjustment of regions whose
development  is lagging behind (Objective 1) pursuant to Articles 130a and
130c of the Treaty; whereas the Commission has approved an initiative
(Regis) to encourage the economic development of the remotest regions,
providing for the diversification of agricultural production, the upgrading
of traditional products and measures to reduce the risks associated with
natural disasters;
Whereas banana cultivation is of fundamental   importance to the economy of
the Canary Islands; whereas all the problems relating to banana production
are the subject of a Community study under way and appropriate measures
will be taken on conclusion of the study,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
                                   Article 1
This Regulation lays down specific measures to remedy, in respect of
certain agricultural products, the difficulties caused by the remote and
insular nature of the Canary Islands.
