COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 985/84 of 31 March 1984 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 on the common organization of the market in 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 the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas Article 21 of Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2004/83 (4), makes provision for the processing of fruit and vegetables withdrawn from the market with a view to free distribution of the processed products;
Whereas the cost of such processing, particularly into fruit juice, has led to expenditure out of proportion to the aim of making the best use of products withdrawn from the market;
Whereas, therefore, the possibility of processing products withdrawn from the market for later free distribution should be discontinued,
