lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, on 12 July the Commission presented a proposal for amending the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables, although we are expecting an evaluation report from the Commission in December 2000 on functioning of this very market organisation. If we change some points now in anticipation of that, the Commission will then have to use this evaluation immediately to review the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables and make the necessary changes. Joining together producer groups and forming producer associations, and commercial cooperation between producer organisations from various regions, are all particularly important for the fruit and vegetables market sector. This should be the starting point for the COM. Nevertheless, we also have to bear in mind those farmers who energetically sell part of their production direct to consumers from their farms, for the benefit of themselves and their families. For many farms, direct sales bring much-needed additional income, and they are often run by farmers' wives as an independent part of the business. Furthermore, direct sales from the farm emphasise the regional nature of products and thus appeal to a certain type of consumer. The amendment to Article 11(1)(c) must therefore be framed in such a way that producers, in agreement with producer groups, can sell a proportion of their products – to be agreed on a case-by-case basis – direct to consumers for their personal use. If the present rigid limit is maintained, producer organisations will be obliged to expel members who do not respect these rules. The result would be that the producer organisations' sales volume would fall and that they would lose their influence over these producers' direct sales activities, as regards complying with quality standards, observing production guidelines and pursuing joint market strategies. I therefore ask you to take this into account also."@en1
