lpv:translated text	"The accession of 10 new Member States to the European Union meant that changes had to be made to the instruments establishing the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables, in order both to speed up the rate at which producer groups and organisations were set up and began to function effectively, and to prevent a disaster occurring on the market. There are very few producer organisations in the new Member States, with the figure in Poland currently standing at around 1.5% of the market. The new Member States should receive more assistance to ensure producer groups that have been provisionally recognised remain in existence and are properly managed. There is also a need for specific financial support instruments. Furthermore, permission should be granted for the setting up of organisations of various groups of producers, such as producers of fruit for processing or of vegetables for processing. At this point, it should also be pointed out that a characteristic feature of the soft fruit market is its high price sensitivity, due to fluctuations in production and the growing volume of imports from non-EU third countries. Uncontrolled imports mean that European farmers, including Polish soft fruit producers, are currently facing disaster. What are needed are measures to ensure long-term stability in this market. These should include an increase in the number of checks carried out on imported goods, which would also prevent any influx of low-quality products into the EU. The issuing of certificates of origin should form a mandatory part of these inspections, and the Commission should consider introducing import quotas for these sensitive products. All that the Commission is proposing, however, is to carry out studies and to take other measures that it has not explained in any detail. In other words, it is proposing to sit back and wait."@en1
