COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 525/77  of 14 March 1977  establishing a system of production aid for tinned pineapple
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Articles 43 and 227 thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (1),
Whereas, because of the special conditions affecting the Community market in tinned pineapple, and in particular because of the need for the industry to maintain prices that are competitive in relation to the prices fixed by the main producing third countries a system of production aid should be established so that tinned pineapple may be produced at a lower price than than which would result if the producers of fresh pineapples were paid a remunerative price;
Whereas, because of the importance of pineapple production to the economy of the French overseas departments, the provisions concerning the Guarantee Section of the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund should be applied in respect of those departments,
