Subject : 1 ) *       proposai for a Council Régulation amending Régulation ( EEC )
              No 1035 / 72 on the common organization of the market in fruit and
              vegetables .
           2)         proposal for a Council Regulation laying down , as regards
              satsumas , mandarins , clementines and nectarines , rules for
              applying Article 19c of Regulation ( EEC ) No 1035 / 72 .
           3) .       proposal for a Council Regulation fixing , for the 1987 / 88
              marketing year , certain prices applicable to clementines and
              satsumas -j n the sector of fruit and vegetables .
Introduction of basic and buying-in prices for clementines , satsumas and
nectarines .
1.  Under the compromise presented to the Council in connection with the
    adoption of the 1987 / 88 prices package , the Commission undertook to put
    forward a proposal for the amendment of Regulation ( EEC ) No 1035 / 72 so as
    to introduce a system of basic and buying-in prices for satsumas and
    clementines .
    Spain and Portugal are major producers of these small citrus fruits which
    may be used instead of , and are therefore in competition with , other types
    of small citrus fruit . To improve the situation of the various Community
    producers and at the same time promote small citrus fruits , it is proposed
    that clementines and satsumas be included in the system of basic and
    buying-in prices .
2.  Under the same compromise it was suggested that nectarines should be
    included in Annex II to Regulation ( EEC ) No 1035 / 72 and that basic and
    buying-in prices should also be fixed for nectarines . Nectarines and
    peaches are fairly interchangeable products , appeal to the same consumers
    and are therefore in competition with each other .
Introduction of intervention thresholds for these products
3.  The inclusion of the abovementioned products in Annex II to Regulation
    ( EEC ) No 1035 / 72 means , on the other hand , that production must be
    properly planned to correspond to market outlets . To prevent a build-up of
    surpluses , it was proposed under the compromise that there should be a
    Community threshold beyond which withdrawals should be regarded as due to
    a disparity between supply and demand rather than to a short-term crisis .
 ---pagebreak---                                         2
   The Commission has since taken stock of the measures for controlling
   agricultural markets and has stated that intervention thresholds should
   apply to a wider range of surplus products . It is therefore proposed that ,
   as a general rule , provision should be made for the fixing of intervention
   thresholds as part of the market organization for fruit and vegetables .
4. For clementines , satsumas and nectarines , the threshold would be fixed at
    8 % of the average quantities produced in the Community for consumption as
   tresh fruit over the last five years for which statistics are available .
   It is important that the reference period should be long enough to balance
   out any wheather-related fluctuations in production and that it should be
   mobile , since it has to reflect the gradual adjustment of production to
   trends in consumption .
   If , in the course of a given marketing year , the quantities offered for
   intervention exceed the level fixed as a threshold , it is proposed that a
   reduction should be made in the financial compensation granted to
   producers' organizations which have withdrawn products from the market
   during the year in question . In the case of fruit crops the consequences
   of an excessive volume of production should be felt in the same year as
   the crop is grown and placing responsibility on the producers'
   organizations should enable production levels to be adjusted in the medium
   term .
5. In the case of mandarins , for which there is already a system of
   structural withdrawals , it is proposed that the Council should introduce a
   degressive threshold to cover several marketing years , in conjunction with
   arrangements for the conversion of orchards to other varieties more
   popular with consumers . If the intervention thresholds were exceeded , the
   same arrangements would apply as for satsumas , clementines and nectarines .
   To facilitate conversion and to offset the social consequences of the
   necessary adjustments to production , the Community regions in which the
   bulk of mandarin production is located should qualify for assistance
   following the reform of the structural funds as advocated by the
   Commission in document COM(87 ) 376 final / 2 , and in particular aid for the
   adjustment of agricultural structures and the development of rural areas .
   The Commission will shortly submit a report on the citrus fruit sector
   covering those structural aspects which have played an important part in
   the policy pursued in this sector since 1969 .
6. As regards Spain during the verif ication-of -convergence phase , there is
   provision for fixing such thresholds should products be withdrawn from the
   market by that country .

Basic and buying-in prices for clementines and satsumas
7.  The proposed basic prices are calculated from the average prices recorded
    over the past three years on the Community 's most representative producer
    markets , that is , the surplus regions where prices are lowest , as was done
    with other products in the sector when such mechanisms and prices were
    introduced . It should be pointed out that prices for clementines are
    remarkably similar from one producer region to another ; almost all satsuma
    production , on the other hand , is located in Spain .
    Both the basic prices are calculated from the date provided by the Member
    States and the buying-in prices which are proposed ( bearing in mind the
    need to maintain sales to normal commercial outlets and to the processing
    industry in the case of satsumas ) are relatively low compared with those
    currently fixed for mandarins . It is precisely because of high prices ,
    however , that mandarins no longer seem to find favour with the consumer ,
    to judge by the huge volume of withdrawals as compared with normal sales
    on the market .
    If balance is to be restored to the relationship between the prices for
    these three products , account being taken of their popularity with
    consumers , the prices fixed for mandarins will have to be reviewed over
    the next few marketing years .
    It is also in the light of such an adjustment that the structural measures
    mentioned above in connection with intervention thresholds will have to be
    designed and proposed .
8.  As regards Spain and Portugal , the basic and buying-in prices applicable
    to clementines and satsumas have to be fixed by these Member States and
    price discipline applied in accordance with the arrangements laid down in
    the Act of Accession .

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community , and
in particular Article 43 thereof ,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal , and in particular
articles 89(2 ) and 234(3 ) thereof ,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament ,
Whereas Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 1035 / 72 ( 1 ), as last amended by Regulation
( EEC ) No 2275 / 87 ( 2 ), provides for a system of prices and intervention for a
number of products in the fruit and vegetables sector ;
Whereas producers and their organizations should be made aware of the real
needs of the fruit and vegetables market ; whereas this should be achieved ,
where appropriate , by defining a maximum volume of intervention beyond which
financial liability should be borne by the producers and their organizations ;
Whereas , the consequence of the liability of the producers and their
organizations must be that , whenever intervention exceeds the threshold , the
basic and buying-in prices or the financial compensation or indemnity which is
paid in respect of the quantities bought in are reduced ;

Whereas , to the extent that in Spain , during the "verification of convergence "
phase , such products are bought in and give rise to Community financing in
accordance with Article 133(3 ) of the Act of Accession , provision should be
made for       fixing      a maximum quantity of intervention beyond which
financial liability will be borne by the producers and their organizations ;
Whereas , having regard to the specific provisions of the Act of Accession and
in particular Article 265 thereof , no provision need be made for the
application of similar measures in Portugal during the first stage of
transition ;
Whereas satsumas , clementines and nectarines are of particular importance for
the income of certain categories of producers ; whereas , therefore , these
products should also be included in the prices and intervention system ,

      liable to be disequilibria which give rise or might give rise to a large
      volume of intervention under Articles 15 , 15a , 15b , 19 and 19a , an
      intervention threshold shall be fixed before the beginning of the
      marketing year and ,    if   intervention exceeds     the   said threshold     by

      average quantity bought in over a period of several marketing years ,
      financial liability shall be borne by the producers and their
      organizations .

      conditions to be adopted for each product and in accordance with the
      procedure laid down in paragraph 3 , as follows :
      -  reduction of the basic buying-in prices for the following marketing

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ,
Having regard to Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 1035 / 72 of 18 May 1972 on the
common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables ( 1 ), at last amended
by Regulation ( EEC ) No         /    ( 2 ), and in particular Article 19c(3 ) thereof ,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
Whereas Article 19c of Regulation ( EEC ) No 1035 / 72 provides that intervention
quantities or thresholds are to be defined and that producers and producers'
organizations must bear financial responsibility for exceeding such thresholds
Whereas rules for applying the arrangements in question should be laid down
and criteria should be defined for fixing the intervention thresholds for the
Community as constituted on 31 December 1985 , account being taken of the fact
that , in the case of Spain , the conditions laid down in Article 19c(2 ) of the
abovementioned Regulation are not satisfied ;
Whereas intervention thresholds should be defined for satsumas , clementines ,
nectarines and mandarins ;
Whereas the thi 'shold. for each product may be expressed as a percentage c r the
average quantities produced and intended for consumption as fresh fruit over
the last five marketing years for which production figures are available ;
whereas , in the case of mandarins , withdrawals of which already represent a
high percentage of production , provision must be made for a degressive
percentage coupled with measures to ensure the progressive adjustment of
growers to the new situation ;

Whereas , in the case of fruit production from trees in particular , the financial
consequences of exceeding the intervention thresholds should be felt during
the marketing year in which the said thresholds are exceeded , given the
fluctuations in the volume of production from one year to the other , and
should take the form of a reduction in the financial compensation paid to
producers' organizations ;
Whereas such organisations are in a position to make growers more aware of the
need for better control of the market and to induce them to market their
produce along more satisfactory lines ; whereas an identical reduction must be
applied to the indemnities paid in connection with the intervention operations
provided for in Articles 18a , 19 and 19a of Regulation ( EEC ) No 1035 / 72 ,

Whereas , when the basic and buying-in prices for fruit and vegetables are
fixed , account should be taken of the objectives of the common agricultural
policy and of the contribution which the Community intends to make towards the
harmonious development of world trade ; whereas the objectives of the common
agricultural policy include ensuring a fair standard of
living for the agricultural community , assuring the availability of supplies
and ensuring that supplies reach consumers at reasonable prices ;
Whereas the basic prices must be fixed on the basis of the trend of average
prices recorded in the three preceding      years on the most representative
producer markets of the Community for a product with defined commercial
characteristics , such as variety or type , quality class , sizing and packaging ;
whereas the buying-in prices must be fixed in relation to the basic price in
accordance with Article 16(3 ) of Regulation ( EEC ) No 1035 / 72 ;
Whereas   the   amounts  and  prices   fixed   in  this  Regulation are  to  be
applicable    within the   Community   as   constituted on 31 December 1985 ;

authorized to maintain , in respect of fruit and vegetables , the rules in force
under the former national arrangements for the organization of their internal
agricultural markets , under the conditions laid down in Article 133 to 135 and
262 to 265 of the Act of Accession ; whereas , consequently , Spain and Portugal
will fix their prices for the products in question during this period in
accordance with the Act ,

                         ANNEX TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT
This draft Regulation is designed to introduce the machinery to enable the
Council to fix , following a proposal from the Commission before the marketing
year concerned , annual intervention thresholds for each product for which such
thresholds are necessary .
Since the proposed measure is in the nature of a basic Regulation and since
there are no actual figures in the Explanatory Memorandum , the financial
implications for future budgets cannot be assessed at this stage , but will be
set out in detail when the Regulation is implemented .

                         ANNEX TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT
This proposal implements the Council decisions of 30 June 1987 on prices and
related measures .
Since clementines and satsumas are "new" products no forecasts can be put
forward at this stage .
For guidance , it is expected that withdrawals will be as follows in the
Community of Ten :
clémentines : 15 000 tonnes
satsumas :    none
In the case of Spain it is expected that the quantities withdrawn will be
negligible .
Moreover , during the first transitional stage , the Community 's financial
contribution towards the cost of withdrawal operations is limited to the share
of production covered by growers' organizations .
The intervention expenditure in respect of the 15 000 tonnes of clementines is
about 3 million ECU .

                            ANNEX TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENT
The proposal herewith implements the Council decisions of 30 June 1987 on
prices and related measures .
The introduction of intervention thresholds is likely to reduce expenditure .
- However , nectarines are not yet covered by the prices and intervention
  system , and the system is , in 1987 / 88 , being extended to satsumas and
  clementines for the first time .
- Nothing can , therefore , be learned from past experience in the case of these
  two products .
The following indicative figures are , however , available :
- clementines : average production : 800 000 tonnes , as follows :
          EUR 10 : 230 000 tonnes
          Spain :  570 000 tonnes .
It is expected that withdrawals will total only 15 000 tonnes for the
Community of Ten and will be minimal in the case of Spain . It should be noted
that during the period in which Spain moves towards alignment , EAGGF
intervention covers only part of that country 's withdrawal expenditure . It
has therefore been assumed that the effects of the threshold will be
negligible . The production of satsumas is about 412 000 tonnes , of which
410 000 tonnes is produced in Spain .
Anticipated withdrawals taken entry :
Detailed statistics are available in the case of mandarins :
In the case of the Community of Ten average production is as follows :
          Italy : 237 000 tonnes
         Greece : 38 000 tonnes .
The figure for withdrawals is about 240 000 tonnes , giving rise to expenditure
of the order of 50 million ECU . The proposed thresholds are as follows :
1987 /88 : 65%                   - overrun : 61 250 tonnes      penalty : = 24.5%
1988 /89 : 50%                   - overrun : 102 500 tonnes     penalty : = 41%
1989 / 90 : 35%                  - overrun : 143 750 tonnes     penalty : = 57.5%
Since the penalty is limited to 20% , expenditure will be about 10 million ECU
lower for each year from 1988 onwards .
