Strasbourg, 09/07/2001 (Agence Europe) - Last Thursday, in Strasbourg, the European Parliament adopted a resolution put forward by sixteen MEPs of the main political groups in which they call on the Commission to present concrete proposals for resolving the problems encountered in the European fruit and vegetables sector. These measures would be intended to: - encourage the concentration of supply in producer groups, not only at international level but also at Community level; - reduce the problems linked to programmes and operational funds; - limit the adverse consequences of concluding trade agreements with third countries; - improve market regulation and, in particular, establish a permanent framework of support measures for nuts and locust beans. The Parliament also hopes special measures will be introduced for regions where producer organisations are weak and for high quality organic production. MEPs regret the incomplete nature of the Commission's report on implementation of the 1996 reform.
