COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 989/86
of 4 April 1986
laying down detailed rules for applying the limitation of processing aid to certain quantities of oranges and lemons in Spain
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2601/69 of 18 December 1969 laying down special measures to encourage the processing of certain varieties of oranges (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 987/84 (2), and in particular Article 3 (2) thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1035/77 of 17 May 1977 laying down special measures to encourage the marketing of products processed from lemons (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1318/85 (4), and in particular Article 3 thereof,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 460/86 of 24 February 1986 laying down general rules for applying the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal as regards the processing of oranges and lemons (5), and in particular Article 2 thereof,
Whereas Article 119 (4) of the Act of Accession limits the quantities of oranges and lemons which may qualify for processing aid in Spain for the first four marketing years following accession;
Whereas special provisions should be introduced to ensure a fair distribution of the quantities among processors and allocate a certain quantity to new processors; whereas this will imply the submission by processors of information additional to that required under Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1562/85 of 7 June 1985 laying down detailed rules for the application of measures to encourage the processing of oranges and the marketing of products processed from lemons (6);
Whereas, owing to the difficulties encountered in obtaining the statistical data relating to production in Spain during the 1985/86 marketing year, caused mainly by the difference between the Spanish marketing year and that provided for under Community rules, the Spanish marketing years 1982/83, 1983/84 and 1984/85 should be used as the reference period for the 1986/87 marketing year;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Fruit and Vegetables,
