COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 10/81 of 1 January 1981 fixing, in respect of fruit and vegetables, the general rules for implementing the 1979 Act of Accession
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the 1979 Act of Accession, and in particular Article 72 (1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, pursuant to Article 74 of the Act of Accession the basic price for fruit and vegetables is to be fixed in Greece, at the time of accession, taking into account the difference between the average producer prices in Greece and the Community of Nine recorded over a reference period, to be determined ; whereas that reference period must be representative of real market trends ; whereas the past three marketing years should be taken for this purpose, excluding periods during which prices underwent abnormal fluctuations;
Whereas the same criteria should be used to determine the difference in prices referred to in Article 67 of the Act of Accession and for calculating the minimum price applicable in Greece, referred to in Article 77 of that Act;
Whereas Article 75 of the said Act introduced a compensatory mechanism for imports into the Community of Nine of fruit and vegetables coming from Greece for which an institutional price is fixed ; whereas the detailed rules for implementing the said mechanism should be determined;
Whereas, where the prices paid in Greece under the previous national system for citrus fruit for processing would result in fixing a minimum price higher than the common minimum price, it is appropriate to adopt the common price definitively for Greece, as provided for in Article 77 (3) of the Act of Accession,
