COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1124/89 of 27 April 1989 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1035/77 laying down special measures to encourage the marketing of products processed from lemons
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),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (3),
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 1035/77 (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1353/86 (5), introduces a system of aid for products processed from lemons harvested in the Community, based on contract linking Community producers and processors;
Whereas the said system was limited to products subject to competition from similar products imported from third countries; whereas, accordingly, for Italy whose production accounts for a major share of the Community lemons processed, the aid system was  subject to special conditions limiting the granting of the financial compensation on account of the restrictive arrangements on imports from third countries in force in that Member State; whereas, as a result of the opening-up of the Italian market,  those special
conditions should be repealed and the abovementioned Regulation should be amended accordingly,
