Events
Following the agreement reached by the Agriculture Council on 19 December and in accordance with the request by the Madrid European Council, the Council formally adopted, unanimously, the Regulations on the common organisation of the market in rice and fixing the standard quality of rice.
Noting the progress already achieved, the Council confirmed its intention of concluding this dossier as soon as the European Parliament had delivered its opinion.
In the view of the ESC, the reduction in intervention prices should be offset by full financial compensation in order to maintain producers’ income levels and ensure their survival. Similarly, the principle of equal treatment required that for all producer Member States, the compensatory aid be calculated on the basis of the average of the last three marketing years (1993, 1994, 1995) in each producer country, with due account for trends in consumption and for the accession of the new Member States. The proposed penalties for overshooting the national maximum guaranteed areas needed to be revised. The ESC drew attention to the social consequences of the probable reduction in the area under rice. It was surprised that the Commission proposal did not analyse the social impact of rice growing and did not quantify the workforce in the agro-industrial sector as a whole. The reform of the common market organisation in rice and the reduction of customs tariffs following the GATT Agreements would mean a significant reduction in the prices of Community rice and rice imports. It was vital that this reduction be passed on to the consumer. The ESC agreed that quality policy should be better geared to consumer requirements.
Pending the European Parliament’s opinion, the Council held a discussion on the Commission proposals, introduced by an interim report presented by the Chairman of the Special Committee on Agriculture (SCA). On the basis of that report, examination of the proposals focused for the moment on the following aspects: - intervention arrangements for rice; - standard quality criteria; - sanctions if the maximum guaranteed area is exceeded. A number of suggestions put to the SCA concerning these issues aimed at progressing in the discussions were generally well received. The Commission representative, while emphasising the existing constraints that had to be taken into account in reforming this sector, stated his willingness to contribute to finding ways to enable a decision to be taken on the matter. After the discussion, the Council instructed the SCA to continue discussions so that it could take a decision on the matter as soon as the European Parliament’s opinion was received.
