The European Commission has already taken steps in order to improve the quality of pre-contractual information available to consumers, for instance in the Standard European Consumer Credit Information Sheet, annexed to the new Consumer Credit Directive,[23] and in the Key Investor Information document, being tested for the revision of the UCITS Directive.[24] In the area of mortgages, the examination of the European Standard Information Sheet aims to improve the presentation of pre-contractual information to consumers.[25] The Commiss ...[+++]ion Communication on Packaged Retail Investment Products proposes measures to deliver clear, comparable pre-contractual information to investors of these products.[26] The impact of these measures is to standardise the presentation of pre-contractual information in a way which makes it easier for the consumer to compare the offers of different providers.

The area aid scheme for fruit and edible vegetables, roots and tubers, flowers and live plants has proved unsuitable, especially because of the slowness and complexity of procedures and the way the proposed aid was structured. Lessons should be learned from the encouraging results of the POSEIDOM reform in those sectors. In this connection, firstly, marketing and processing aid should be envisaged with a view to supplying the market in the Canary Islands. Such aid must help local produce compete with products from elsewhere on high-growth markets, better satisfy the requirements of consumers and new distribution channels, im ...[+++]prove the productivity of farms and upgrade the quality of products. Secondly, the marketing of these products, both fresh and processed, should be continued and they should be promoted on the Community market, for which purpose aid should be granted for the placing of these products on the Community market.

Traditional livestock farming activities should be supported in order to meet local consumption needs. To that end, derogations are needed from some of the provisions of the common market organisations which restrict production, to take account of the development and particular conditions of local production, which are quite different from those in the rest of the Community. This objective may also be pursued indirectly by financing genetic improvement programmes involving the purchase of pure ...[+++]-bred breeding animals, by purchasing commercial breeds more suited to local conditions, by supplementing the suckler cow premium and the slaughter premium, and by granting aid to develop cow's milk production.

Whereas in the interests of further encouraging producers who are members of an organization to modernize their orchards in order to meet market requirements, the granting of aid for the formation of an organization and for the creation of a revolving fund should be made conditional on presentation of a quality and marketing improvement plan which must be approved by the national authorities designated by the Member States; whereas, in order to be consistent with the aims of the scheme, this plan must seek primarily to bring about a ...[+++]genetic and cultural improvement of products grown in plantations which are given over to producing one homogenous product and are not scattered among other plantations; whereas a specific aid should be granted for the drawing up of such a plan and should be co-financed by the Member States and the Community; whereas the level of the aid should nevertheless be restricted and the aid itself temporary and degressive to allow a progressive shift of financial responsibility on to the producers;
