COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1928/87 of 2 July 1987 amending Regulation (EEC) No 426/86 on the  common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European  Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the  Commission (1), Having regard to opinion of the European Parliament (2), Having regard to opinion  of the Economic and Social Committee (3), Whereas taking into consideration the characteristics of  the market in tomatoes, the conclusion of contracts referred to in Article 3 (1) of Regulation  (EEC) No 426/86 (4), as amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1838/86 (5), between producers' groups and  processors' groups should be encouraged because such contracts are likely to contribute to the  attainment of the objectives of the common organization of the market, in particular improving the  controlling of the quantities of tomatoes grown for processing and ensuring outlets for the  producers' products; Whereas one of the aims of a producers' organization is to promote the  concentration of supply; whereas in cases where the processors conclude contracts with the  producers' organization, each contract could cover considerable quantities; Whereas a premium  should be granted to processors having concluded contracts with such organizations for sizeable  quantities of fresh tomatoes; whereas for Spain and Portugal these quantities must be assessed in  accordance with a specific percentage, taking into account the still limited role played by the  producers' groups and associations in both those Member States; whereas such premium should be  granted only if the processor has taken over the total quantity stipulated in the contracts,
