Proposal for a Council Regulation amending Regulation (EC) No 2202/96 introducing a Community aid scheme for producers of certain citrus fruits (COM(98)0647 - C4-0710/98 - 98/0310(CNS)) The proposal was approved with the following amendments: (Amendment 6) Recital 1a (new) >Original text> >Text following EP vote> Whereas there is a low rate of self-sufficiency in citrus fruit, particularly in the form of processed products such as juice and concentrates etc., which is increasing the European agricultural balance of trade deficit; (Amendment 7) Recital 1b (new) >Original text> >Text following EP vote> Whereas environmental restrictions and the impact of withdrawals on the amount of operational funds are limiting recourse to withdrawals and leaving a large margin between the commitment appropriations and payments allocated to withdrawals; whereas, however, the citrus fruit processing industry is being affected by a shortage of funding which may derive from environmental problems caused by deflection from processing to withdrawals; whereas there is a margin for increasing the processing thresholds for citrus fruit while complying with budgetary neutrality for fruit and vegetables as a whole; (Amendment 8) ARTICLE 1 (-1) (new) Article 5(1) (Regulation (EC) No 2202/96) >Original text> >Text following EP vote> -1. Article 5(1) is replaced by the following: >Original text> >Text following EP vote> '1. Processing thresholds shall be laid down, firstly, for each of the following three products: lemons; grapefruit; and oranges; and secondly, for the group of products comprising mandarins, clementines and satsumas, with the following levels: >Original text> >Text following EP vote> Lemons: 600 000 tonnes >Original text> >Text following EP vote> Grapefruit: 6 000 tonnes >Original text> >Text following EP vote> Oranges: 1 665 000 tonnes >Original text> >Text following EP vote> Mandarins, clementines and satsumas: 339 000 tonnes' (Amendment 9) ARTICLE 1(1) Article 5(2), 2nd subparagraph a (new) (Regulation (EC) No 2202/96) >Original text> >Text following EP vote> The reduction in aid shall in no case exceed 20 %.' Legislative resolution embodying Parliament's opinion on the proposal for a Council Regulation amending Regulation (EC) No 2202/96 introducing a Community aid scheme for producers of certain citrus fruits (COM(98)0647 - C4-0710/98 - 98/0310(CNS))(Consultation procedure) The European Parliament, - having regard to the Commission proposal to the Council, COM(98)0647 - 98/0310(CNS) ((OJ C 381, 8.12.1998, p. 9.)), - having been consulted by the Council pursuant to Article 43 of the EC Treaty (C4-0710/98), - having regard to Rule 58 of its Rules of Procedure, - having regard to the report of the Committee on Agriculture and Rural Development and the opinion of the Committee on Budgets (A4-0164/99), 1.
