Sublect: Council Regulation (EEC) No      /90 setting for the 1990/91
          marketing year the percentage mentioned In Article 3(1a) of
          Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 In connection with the aid for products
          obtained from tomatoes
Article 3(1a) of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 provides for the granting of a
premium, equal to 2% of the aid, on finished tomato products obtained from
fresh tomatoes supplied under contracts concluded with producers' groups.
The premium Is not paid unless the processor or processors' group
     has taken over the total quantity of fresh tomatoes covered by such
     contracts, and
     provides evidence that the tomatoes processed under those contracts
     account for a significant percentage of the total quantity of tomatoes
     processed.
This proposal sets these percentages in respect of the 1990/91 marketing
year, with one percentage for the EEC of Ten plus Spain and one for
Portugal, in order to take account of the role played by producers' groups
in the Community as It stands at present. As compared with the past
marketing year, the "significant" rates are kept at the same level (75%)
for the EEC of Ten and for Spain, which comes In at this level for the
first time (In 1989/90 the "significant" rate for Spain was 38%) given that
the verification of convergence phase has come to an end. For Portugal, it
is proposed that the "significant" rate be set at 50%, or 47% up on
1989/90.
 It Is worth recalling that the measure is Intended to encourage the
concentration of supplies of fresh tomatoes so as to bring the quantities
that need to be produced more into line with possible outlets.
                                                                             2.

            setting for the 1990/91 marketing year the percentages
           mentioned in Article 3(1a) of Regulation (EEC) No 426/86

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 of 24 February 1986 on
the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and
vegetables^), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 220l/90 ( 2 ) , and In
particular Article 3(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, In order to encourage the conclusion of contracts between groups
of tomato producers and processors and groups of processors, Regulation
(EEC) No 426/86 made provision for the granting on certain terms of an
additional processing premium;
Whereas In order to permit payment of the said premium in respect of the
1990/91 marketing year the "significant specific percentage" for the total
quantity of processed tomatoes covered by contracts concluded with
producers' groups must be set;
Whereas a specific percentage should be set for Portugal, since the role of
producers' groups In this Member State during the first stage Is still
 limited,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
