amending Regulation (EEC) No 2425/81 laying down detailed rules for the application of the system of aid for dried grapes and dried figs
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2194/81 of 27 July 1981 laying down the general rules for the system of production aid for dried figs and dried grapes (1), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2674/82 (2), and in particular Article 14 thereof,
Whereas Article 6 (1) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2425/81 (3) provides that two aid applications may be submitted for each marketing year; whereas, in cases where storage into the following marketing year is authorized pursuant to Article 10 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2194/81 and the products stored are sold for processing, the processor may submit his application only when the products have been processed; whereas this situation leads to delay in the payment of the aid for products obtained during the marketing year; whereas this situation should be remedied by allowing the processor to submit an additional aid application relating to products bought from storage agencies after the end of the marketing year; whereas to make the existing procedures more flexible, these measures should be applicable for products obtained from 1 January 1982;
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2197/82 (4), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3434/82 (5), has extended the period of storage of certain quantities of dried figs and dried grapes held by the Greek storage agencies beyond the end of the 1981/82 marketing year;
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2425/81 should be amended to allow periodically submission of applications for storage aid during the extended period of storage;
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,
