COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 2097/84
of 20 July 1984
on payment of provisional financial compensation for dried grapes from the 1981 harvest
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 516/77 of 14 March 1977 on the common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 988/84 (2),
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2194/81 of 27 July 1981 laying down the general rules for the system of production aid for dried figs and dried grapes (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2057/84 (4), and in particular Article 14 thereof,
Whereas Article 10 (3) of Regulation (EEC) No 2194/81 provides for financial compensation for dried figs and dried grapes purchased by storage agencies; whereas Article 9 of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 2425/81 of 20 August 1981 laying down detailed rules for the application of the system of aid for dried grapes and dried figs (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3334/83 (6), provides for the payment of financial compensation for the quantity of products sold;
Whereas the quantity remaining in stock attracts a storage aid pursuant to Article 10 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2194/81; whereas the storage aid covers the technical storage costs and interest costs calculated on the purchase price; whereas the dried fruit from the 1981 harvest can, at present, only be sold for specific purposes; whereas the selling price of the products is known to be lower than the purchase price; whereas payment of provisional financial compensation corresponding to that price difference would reduce the expenditure on storage aid; whereas the price difference can be estimated on the basis of past experience;
Whereas payment of provisional financial compensation must be calculated on the quantitities of products which are actually in stock; whereas stocktaking must be carried out; whereas for administrative reasons the quantities of products which are already sold but not taken over by the purchaser should not obtain provisional financial compensation;
Whereas stocktaking will make it possible to determine losses during storage; whereas financial compensation for natural losses as referred to in Article 2 (2) of Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1325/84 of 14 May 1984 laying down detailed rules for determining the financial compensation for dried figs and dried grapes for a given marketing year (7) should become payable after stocktaking and an application for financial compensation for losses due to too long a period of storage should be examined;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Products Processed from Fruit and Vegetables,
