COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1794/93 of 30 June 1993 laying down detailed rules for the application of production aid for processed tomato products
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 668/93 of 17 March 1993 on the introduction of a limit to the granting of production aid for processed tomato products (1), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Whereas Article 1 of Regulation (EEC) No 668/93 lays down rules for the allocation among the various undertakings concerned of the quantity of fresh tomatoes to be processed into tomato products attracting the production aid; whereas the conditions  under which the undertakings may qualify for such allocation, and in particular the communications required for that purpose, should be specified; whereas Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 668/93 lays down that for the first three marketing years of  application the quantities produced in the 1992/93 marketing year are not to be taken into account for calculating the average quantities produced and and whereas that provision will have to apply to all the undertakings concerned until the 1995/96  marketing year;
Whereas the competent authorities allocate to each processing undertaking the quantities of fresh tomatoes which may be used for the manufacture of finished products attracting aid; whereas the allocation must be based on the particulars communicated by  the undertakings; whereas, in cases where doubt exists as to the accuracy of the particulars received, the competent authorities should be authorized to defer the allocation until such doubt is resolved;
Whereas the result of allocating specific quantities to each undertaking is that the payment of production aid is limited to a fixed quantity; whereas the aim of the aid system is respected if a quantity allocated to an undertaking can be transferred to  another undertaking; whereas such a possibility confers flexibility on the undertakings; whereas the competent authorities should be authorized to allow transfer of the right deriving from an allocation where this is possible without unfavourable  consequences for the production aid system;
Whereas an undertaking may, during the marketing year, apply for only one adjustment to the distribution of its quota among the finished products; whereas a time limit for making use of this option should be fixed;
Whereas for tomato concentrate only one rate of aid is applicable; whereas for preserved whole peeled tomatoes and for other tomato-based products two or more rates are applicable;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,
