THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 of 28 October 1996 on the common organisation of the markets in processed fruit and vegetable products(1), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 2699/2000(2), and in particular Article 4(9) and (10) thereof,
Whereas:
(1) Commission Regulation (EC) No 1519/2000(3) sets for the 2000/01 marketing year the minimum price and the amount of production aid for processed tomato products.
(2) Article 4(10) of Regulation (EC) No 2201/96 lays down that the aid set for tomato concentrates and their derivatives is to be reduced by 5,37 % so as not to exceed overall expenditure following the increase in French and Portuguese quotas for concentrates. Additional aid may be paid for tomato concentrates and their derivatives after the marketing year if the increase in French and Portuguese quotas is not entirely used up.
(3) In accordance with Article 17(2) of Commission Regulation (EC) No 504/97(4), as last amended by Regulation (EC) No 1607/1999(5). The Member States sent the Commission detail of the quantities of tomatoes processed within quota and in excess of the quota. The quotas for concentrates were not entirely used up in the 2000/01 marketing and their derivatives in Regulation (EC) No 1519/2000 should be paid to processors who have submitted aid applications in accordance with Article 11(4) of Regulation (EC) No 504/97.
(4) The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,
