Article 133

1 . In order that the Spanish fruit and vegetables sector may be harmoniously and completely integrated into the framework of the common agricultural policy at the end of the first phase , the Kingdom of Spain shall progressively adjust the organization of its domestic market on the basis of the general objectives defined in paragraph 2 .

2 . The general objectives to be achieved shall be the following :

- the progressive application of quality standards to all the products concerned and strict application of the requirements arising therefrom ,

- the development of producer groups within the meaning of Community rules ,

- the setting up of a body and creation of a material and human infrastructure suitable for carrying out public intervention operations provided for under Community rules ,

- the setting up of a network for the daily recording of prices on representative markets to be defined on the basis of the various products ,

- the liberalization of trade with a view to introducing a system of free competition and of free access to the Spanish market and of adaptation of the " sectoral trade adjustments " to exports in order to make them compatible with the requirements of freedom of movement .

3 . In order to favour the realization of the general objectives :

( a ) the Community rules in the socio-structural field , including those relating to producer organizations shall apply in Spain from accession ;

( b ) the Community shall participate in financing intervention operations carried out in Spain during the first phase by producer organizations for products complying with common quality standards .

However , the rate of this Community financial participation shall be limited for each product to the rate of production covered by producer organizations in Spain , which are recognized by the Commission as complying with Community rules both with regard to the terms of their constitution and the conditions of their operation .

The Commission shall record for each marketing year the rate of cover referred to in the previous subparagraph ; to that end it shall carry out on-the-spot checks in cooperation with the Spanish authorities .
