COUNCIL  REGULATION (EEC) No 1008/86
of 25 March 1986
laying down detailed rules for production refunds applicable to potato starch
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1006/86 (2), and in particular Article 11a (2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas in view of the special situation of the potatostarch industry, Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 makes provision for the possibility of taking whatever measures may be necessary in this sector;
Whereas in view of the absence of a common organization of the market in potatoes it is appropriate to fix a minimum price payable to the potato producer by the starch manufacturer upon delivery; whereas the particular constraints, notably of a structural nature, weighing upon the potato starch manufacturing industry justify a corrective provision in favour of that industry;
Whereas that compensation may be made by the payment of an appropriate special premium; whereas the granting of this premium to the potato-starch industry should be subject to the condition that the minimum price has been paid to the potato grower;
Whereas on account of the connection between the production prices of the raw materials used in the manufacture of cereals and potato starches and of the interchangeability of these two products, a balanced relationship must be maintained between the prices of those products,
