Council Regulation (EC) No 2086/96 of 28 October 1996 derogating, for the 1996/97 marketing year, from Regulation (EEC) No 1035/77 laying down special measures to encourage the marketing of products processed from lemons

COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No 2086/96 of 28 October 1996 derogating, for the 1996/97 marketing year, from Regulation (EEC) No 1035/77 laying down special measures to encourage the marketing of products processed from lemons
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas, within the framework of the Community scheme supporting the processing of lemons, it appears that certain processing companies are experiencing financial difficulties in paying the minimum price to producers and whereas that situation should therefore be taken into account when authorizing the Member States, in respect of the new 1996/97 marketing year, to pay the financial compensation directly to producers under certain conditions as from the entry into force of this Regulation;
Whereas recourse to this possibility by a Member State will, for reasons of management and control, prevent the possibility of use being made of the provisions for granting financial compensation as referred to in Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/77 (4),
