COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 2040/84
of 16 July 1984
derogating, for the 1984/85 marketing year in respect of cherries, from the time limit laid down for conclusion of contracts under the production aid system
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 516/77 of 14 March 1977 on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 988/84 (2), and in particular Article 3a (4) thereof,
Whereas Article 7 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1599/84 of 5 June 1984 laying down detailed rules for the application of the system of production aid for products processed from fruit and vegetables (3) provides that processing contracts shall be concluded:
- before 11 July in Member States other than France, Italy and Greece for Bigarreau cherries and other sweet cherries,
- before 11 July in all Member States in respect of Morello cherries
which are to be delivered to the industry during the period 10 May to 15 September;
Whereas in the Member States other than France, Italy and Greece, climatic conditions have resulted in late ripening of cherries;
Whereas it is difficult for the producers to estimate the quantity for which processing contracts should be concluded before 11 July;
Whereas to remedy that situation the time limit for conclusion of contracts should be extended;
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,
