Common organisation of the markets in processed fruit and vegetable products: additional quota to Portugal for 1999/2000 and 2000/2001

PURPOSE: amendment of Regulation 2201/96/EC on the common organisation of the markets in processed fruit and vegetable products. CONTENT: The 1997/98 marketing year was characterised by extremely unfavourable weather conditions in Portugal, which led to a sharp fall in production. For this reason, it is planned to increase the Portuguese concentrates quota. For the 1999/2000 marketing year this will be an increase of 83,468 tonnes. For the 2000/2001 marketing year, the increase is to be equal to the difference between the quota calculated for Portugal in accordance with the system laid down in Regulation 2201/96/EC and that calculated by replacing the quantity used in Portugal in 1997/98 by 884,592 tonnes. For 1999/2000 and 2000/2001, the overall quota of fresh tomatoes and the quantity for tomato concentrate will be increased by the additional quantity allocated to Portugal.�
