BRUSSELS / TOLEDO, 14 (EUROPA PRESS)
The European Commission will propose next week to aid certain perishable vegetables like cucumbers and tomatoes that are in difficulty after the Russian veto on food exports from the EU in order to stabilize markets.
“As soon as next week I will present the next step of market stabilization led to a number of products perishable fruits and vegetables that are clearly in trouble now. This action will be proportionate and effective from the point of view of cost, “announced Agriculture Commissioner, Dacian Ciolos.
” We are following each sector and market and if material risks emerge, I will act, “he Commissioner promised in a statement issued after the meeting of technical experts in Brussels in the framework of the Management Committee convened extraordinary to analyze the impact of the Russian veto on European exports.
Ciolos has said it is “ready to propose comprehensive measures to EU level as and where necessary” and that “producers across the EU can be reassured,” insisting that they have “budgetary and legal instruments” to act.
“We intend to respond to the situation of the market step by step and based on facts, as they evolve,” stressed. “We are ready to introduce more measures as the situation evolves, timely, proportionate and in community spirit, “he insisted.
The EU executive will present early next week” emergency measures “for perishable vegetables as” cucumbers, tomatoes, perhaps some peppers and some mushrooms “because is the “most urgent” because industry is “in season” now without an “obvious” alternative market after the Russian veto, explained Commissioner spokesman Roger Waite.
The EU executive will propose ” something similar “in terms of aid to those announced Monday for the nectarine and peach and the industry itself amounted to 20 or 30 million euros, ie aid for the withdrawal of market production and free distribution in certain institutions to reduce supply in the market and “relax” the pressure they face, has advanced the spokesman.
“More measures to animal products being considered. Such measures would be presented with additional flexibility “given the new common agricultural policy reform that empowers the EU executive to announce support before without having to consult with member states, as explained by the EU executive said in a statement.
In order to better monitor the market, the Commissioner has also announced the creation of a market surveillance mechanism “reinforced” today, to which all member states contribute because “this exceptional situation that we face as a result of Russia’s ban requires faster and better by sector market data. “” There will be meetings with the Member States on a weekly basis, as long as is necessary, “he explained.
Ministers EU Agriculture will hold a special meeting for its part on 5 September to address the crisis in the sector, according to European sources have confirmed.
The European Commission has estimated at 5.252 million euros worth of European exports to the Russian market in 2013 corresponding to the vetoed agricultural and food products. Spain will lose about 338 million euros by the veto of Russia and is ranked as the sixth EU country most affected by the sanctions, just behind Lithuania (927 million), Poland (841 million), Germany (595 million), Netherlands (528 million) and Denmark (377 million), according to the EU executive.
The EU has a reserve fund crisis of 423 million euros this year, which was created following E.coli crisis in 2011 and its total budget amounts to 2,800 million euros at current prices between 2014 and 2020.
The EU executive insists any case in which it is “too early” to determine “exact impact” of the Russian veto to Europe because he trusts to dispose of exports in “alternative” or “increase consumption in the EU market” markets, according to the spokesman of Agriculture.
Waite stressed the commitment of the European Commission to give “a European response” and act “as needed” to support the European sector, but stressed the importance of Member States send the “latest” information to monitor the market trends to determine “how we respond.”

Experts of the Commission submitted to the Twenty-its “preliminary analysis” of the most affected sectors but still need data update countries to “most” of sectors and has undertaken to submit “as soon as possible” a “complete” assessment of the impact of Russian sanctions, while experts Veintiocho submitted “certain figures and commented sectors more likely to be affected “
