Abstract

This Regulation establishes detailed provisions for implementing Regulation (EC) No. 2702/1999 relating to measures to provide information on, and to promote, agricultural products in third countries. For the purposes of these provisions and in accordance with articles 7 (1) and 9 (4) of Regulation (EC) No. 2702/1999, “programme” means a coherent set of measures of a scope that is sufficient to contribute towards improving information on, and sales of, the products concerned. The Annex hereto contains the list of third-country markets where promotion measures may be applied as well as the list of products which may be covered by promotion measures in third countries. In the case of programmes as referred to in article 7(1) of Regulation (EC) No. 2702/1999 that are of interest to more than one Member State, preference shall be given to those covering a group of products and placing particular emphasis on the quality, nutritional and food safety aspects of the Community products. In the case of programmes of interest to a single Member State or concerning a single product, preference shall be given to those that emphasize the Community interest in particular in terms of the quality, nutritional value, safety and representativeness of the products they cover (art. 6). Article 10 lays down detailed provisions with respect to the Community’s financial contribution. The Monitoring Group provided for in article 8 (3) of Regulation (EC) No. 2702/1999 shall meet regularly in order to monitor progress in implementation of the various programmes.
