Abstract

This Regulation lays down provisions on the authorization of farmers, farmers' associations, associations of such associations, recognised producer organisations, associations of recognised producer organisations and recognised interbranch organisations to conclude agreements concerning potatoes for processing and take common decisions concerning potatoes for processing on market withdrawals and free distribution, transformation and processing, storage, joint promotion and temporary planning of production during a period of 6 months starting from the date of entry into force of this Regulation. The provisions aim at supporting farmers and producers of potatoes against economic disruption due to Covid-19 pandemic. This Regulation underlines that the necessary measures taken by the Member States shall ensure that the agreements and decisions do not undermine the proper functioning of the internal market and strictly aim to stabilise the potatoes sector.
