INTRODUCTION Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71 requires the Commission to present to the Council an annual report on the production and marketing of hops. The purpose of this report is to provide information on trends in production, prices and demand. This report, the 25th such report presented by the Commission, outlines the main events of the 1995 harvest year. It focuses on the salient facts needed to calculate the amount of aid to producers for the 1995 harvest. The Commission proposes that hop producers should again be granted aid to supplement their incomes. 2. 1995 HARVEST 2. 1. World situation 2. 1. 1. Production Worldwide, the total area under hops was approximately 86 133 ha, of which approximately 68 585 ha belonged to members of the International Hop Growers Convention (IHGC) and Member States of the Community (see Table 1). Production in China and the countries of the former Soviet Union was also substantial, but can only be roughly estimated, as no precise figures are available. The area under hops in IHGC and EEC countries decreased on average by about 0. 7%. The decrease was most marked in Australia (- 6. 9%), the Slovak Republic (- 8. 33%) and Ireland (- 40. 69%). Estimates for the Ukraine point to a reduction of 6. 80%. Portugal (+ 21. 40%) heads the list of the few countries in which there was an increase. The decrease worldwide is about 0. 30%. At around 2 562 412 ztr the 1995 harvest was markedly higher (144 885 ztr or 5. 99%) than in 1994. Quality was better with an alpha acid content of 6. 7% and alpha acid production of 8 584 tonnes. Although the records of the 1993 harvest were not equalled, the 1995 harvest was still considerably higher - in terms of yield - than the average for the last five years. Worldwide there is overproduction of hops in relation to the needs of the breweries. For this reason the member states of the IHGC have proposed that between 5 000 and 10 000 ha should be grubbed. So far this has not been done. Although beer production in Europe has fallen year after year since 1990, this is not so in the case of other continents, especially Asia, and in particular in China, which at present ranks as the world's second-largest beer producer after the United States. Worldwide, beer production is estimated at 1 270 million hectolitres for 1996. Since this volume usually requires 8 255 tonnes of alpha acid for hopping of 5. 9 g/alpha/hl, the quantity of hops produced should in principle exceed requirements (surplus of 329 tonnes). It should be noted that, for hopping of 5. 9 g of alpha acid per hectolitre of beer, breweries need to have around 6. 5 g/hl available, the difference being accounted for by losses in storage and at the hop processing stage. It should be added that less alpha is needed than previously as a result of a trend towards manufacturing less bitter beers, on the one hand, and of constant technological progress on the other. Breweries would appear, however, still to have stocks in hand, enough to cover several months of production. 2. 1. 2. Market trend Prices for German hops were up on the previous harvest, and all the 1995 harvest has been sold. Although they fell, average American prices were still high enough to cover production costs, with the yield being considerably higher than in Europe (2. 05 tonnes/ha as against 1. 43 tonnes/ha) and the alpha acid percentage also significantly higher (9. 37% as against 5. 76%) (see Table 1). 95% of the American harvest has been sold under contract. Contracts signed in advance - although down in terms of quantity - have proved after all to be a good system even though in times of crisis it cannot operate as well as it might (see Tables 2 and 5). A point some members of the IHGC are particularly concerned about is the price-fixing procedure for aromatic varieties based on kilos of alpha rather than on the aroma itself. 2. 2 Community situation 2. 2. 1. Production structure As in agriculture as a whole, structural change in hop-growing has continued. There are now 5 043 farms growing hops in the Community (see Annex, Table A), a 4. 80% fall over 1994. At the same time the average area under hops rose from 5. 2 to 5. 5 ha per farm. More than 300 farms stopped growing hops in Germany. Since accession, Austria has been added to the list of hop-producing Member States. 2. 2. 2. Production The area under hops in the Community was 27 499 ha in 1995, i. e. 149 ha (0. 54%) down on 1994 (see Annex, Table 1), most of it (21 885 ha, or 80%) in Germany. But in that country areas were 45 ha, i. e. 0. 21%, down on 1994. At present, aromatic varieties account for 57. 99% of the area, with Hersbrucker (31. 18% of the aromatic area in spite of a reduction in Germany of 527 ha on 1994) still the most popular. Of the aromatic varieties for which there were large increases in area, the most significant are Hallertauer Tradition (+ 257 ha), Perle (+117 ha) and Spalter Select (+115 ha). Bitter varieties accounted for 41. 37% and other varieties for 0. 63%. The share of bitter varieties was slightly down in 1995 to the benefit of aromatic varieties. Of the bitter varieties Northern Brewer remained far and away the most popular (4 280 ha, which represents a fall on 1994 of 638 ha) followed by Hallertauer Magnum (1 874 ha) and Target (1 541 ha) then Brewer's Gold (1 160 ha). The area under the latter two varieties also fell, by 141 ha and 182 ha respectively. For the bitter varieties the general trend is towards increased production of the super-alpha varieties, which are more in demand on the markets, such as Hallertauer Magnum and Nugget. The area under Nugget rose by 38. 8% on 1994 and the area under Magnum by about 40. 7%. Quantitatively the 1995 harvest was far larger than the 1994 harvest (13. 41%). At 840 085 ztr, average yield was 1. 43 tonnes or 31 ztr per hectare. Quality was average, and alpha acid content was around 5. 76% on average for the Community as a whole for the three types of varieties, giving 2 419 tonnes - 82 kg per hectare - of alpha acid for beer production in 1996. 2. 2. 3. Sales and prices Overall, the average price for hops sold under contract was ECU 197/ztr, ECU 2. 60/ztr up on the 1994 harvest, ranging from ECU 132/ztr in Portugal to ECU 287/ztr in Ireland. Both these countries sold their entire production under contract (see Table 6). The average spot price for hops sold on the free market was down on the preceding year, at ECU 140/ztr as opposed to ECU 149/ztr in 1994, although here too prices differed markedly from one Member State to another, ranging from ECU 116/ztr in Spain to ECU 201/ztr in the United Kingdom. 82% of the 1995 crop was sold under contract (see Annex, Table 5). Belgium was well below this average at 36%. Highest average prices, both under contract and for spot sales, were made by the aromatic varieties (ECU 210/ztr and ECU 157/ztr respectively). The varieties fetching the highest prices were Challenger, Goldings, Hallertauer, Spalter and Tettnanger. Some varieties grown in the United Kingdom, i. e. Fuggles, Progress and WVG, also sold for prices higher than the average for the group, as did Strisselspalt in France, where average contract prices were ECU 222/ztr. The variety of aromatic hops fetching the lowest price was undoubtedly Hersbrucker, which accounted for about 31% of the area for this group of varieties (contract price ECU 187/ztr, spot price ECU 80/ztr). For bitter varieties the average price for sales under contract was ECU 179/ztr and for spot sales ECU 125/ztr, the varieties that fetched the highest prices in this group being Hallertauer Magnum and Northdown. For other varieties, contract prices and spot prices were above the Community average. This was due to the relatively high prices paid for experimental varieties in Austria and the United Kingdom and to the rather high spot prices paid for Zenith in the United Kingdom. Of the eight hop-producing Member States, four sold at prices below the Community average (all varieties taken together), i. e. Belgium, Germany, Spain and Portugal, with a low spot price in Spain (ECU 116/ztr) and a low contract price in Portugal (ECU 132/ztr). The official figures indicate that, of the 840 085 ztr produced in the Community in 1995, only 4 420 ztr (0. 53%) remain unsold. Ireland, Austria and Portugal sold their entire production under contract for an average price of ECU 287/ztr, ECU 274/ztr and ECU 132/ztr respectively (see Table 5), followed by France, which sold 94% of its production under contract for an average price of ECU 217/ztr. Producers were expecting higher prices for sales on the free market. There was a structural deficit of certain varieties in the United Kingdom for the production of English ales. Additional areas were consequently sown with Goldings and Fuggles. The variety which fetched the lowest prices, as it has since the 1993 harvest, is undoubtedly the Hersbrucker aromatic variety, which was previously very popular with the Americans, but is now suffering from a definite slow-down in demand as American purchasing policy has changed to the benefit of other varieties such as Spalter Select and Hallertauer Tradition. While Hersbrucker has been selling for only DM 152/ztr (i. e. ECU 80/ztr) on the free market, the two new aromatic varieties have been fetching around DM 374-388 ztr, i. e. ECU 167-172 ztr, which is still more than the Community average for aromatic varieties. It appears that precontracts for the coming years are being concluded only very hesitantly, for shorter periods, smaller quantities and lower prices than in previous years, since brewers know that they can always find hops on the free market. The way to increase hop prices would be to reduce the hop cultivation area in the world, as the Americans have proposed, and preferably to cut the area producing super-alpha varieties, since the hops market has become a market for alpha products. 2. 2. 4. Returns These were considerably higher than in 1994. The average return per hectare in full production was ECU 6 037 compared to ECU 5 255 in 1994 (+ 14. 88%). At Community level, returns were highest for the aromatic variety group (ECU 6 271 per ha in full production, 10. 39% up on 1994). However, Belgium, France, Austria and the United Kingdom recorded a fall for these varieties. The most profitable aromatic varieties were, for France, Strisselspalt (return of ECU 7 272/ha in full production), and for the United Kingdom Challenger (ECU 7 223/ha in full production), Goldings (ECU 7 614/ha in full production) and WVG (ECU 7 215/ha in full production). The aromatic varieties which produced a lower return in the United Kingdom than the Community average for this group of varieties were Bramling Cross and Fuggles. After Spain, the greatest increase in returns was in Germany (17. 24%), where the return on all aromatic varieties cultivated increased. Returns also increased for the bitter variety group (+ 21. 85%), reaching ECU 5 716/ha in full production, with returns in all producing Member States increasing, in some cases considerably, e. g. Germany (+ 34. 68%), Ireland (+ 17. 82%) and Portugal (+ 83. 26%). In Germany this increase is explained by the sharp increase in returns for Northern Brewer (+ 72. 80%) grown on 4 211 ha, and Brewer's Gold (+ 11. 69%), grown on 1 316 ha. On the whole, contract prices for this group of varieties in Germany increased by 8. 44%. In the case of England, the increase is explained by the fact that contract prices for Target (which covers about 1 242 ha) rose on the preceding year while yield was high at the same time. Contract prices followed the same trend in Belgium, combined with yields considerably up on 1994. In Portugal, increases were due to the fact that part of the area covered by a varietal conversion plan had by now reached the full production stage. Average returns for other varieties, cultivated principally in Germany (95 ha), and to a small extent in Belgium (2 ha), the United Kingdom (68 ha) and Austria (9 ha), rose by 19. 05%. As these varieties are only cultivated on small areas, their impact on overall returns for producers was negligible. 2. 2. 5 Production costs At ECU 9 136/ha, they were very close to those of the previous year (+ 0. 08%). Belgium had the highest production costs (ECU 12 182/ha) and Spain the lowest (ECU 5 667/ha). Fluctuations in individual Member States did not exceed 8. 27% in either direction compared with 1994 levels (see Annex, Table D). 3. THE COMMON ORGANIZATION OF THE MARKET IN HOPS 3. 1. Community policy on the hop market In 1971 a common organization of the market in hops was established by Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71. The aim was to improve product quality and safeguard the standard of living of hop growers. Since it was quite deliberately decided when the market organization was set up to make no special arrangements for external trade or intervention, the Community hop sector is highly exposed to competition on the world market. The essential aspects of the basic Regulation, which were dealt with in greater detail by subsequent, more specific Council and Commission regulations, are rules for the marketing of hops via a certification procedure and a forward contract system, for the recognition and promotion of producer groups, and for trade with non-EEC countries. The Regulation also lays down aid arrangements for Community-grown hops. The Community has two main financial responsibilities in this sector. Firstly, frequent use is made of the arrangements whereby aid per hectare is granted to producers with unsatisfactory returns. For the 1994 harvest year, aid per hectare was granted at a rate of ECU 495 for aromatic varieties, ECU 532 for bitter varieties and ECU 368 for other varieties and experimental varieties. Secondly, special aid is granted under Regulation (EEC) No 2997/87 to encourage growers to convert to varieties more suited to market requirements (see also point 3. 2. ). In addition the Community makes a contribution towards the promotion of newly founded producer groups at the initial stage provided national aid is also granted for this. However, this measure is now of little significance since almost all hop growers in the Community now belong to a recognized producer group. Of course this does not exclude the possibility of new groups being founded in the future as a result of restructuring and reorganization. 3. 2. Aid for varietal conversion The long-standing imbalance between supply and demand for most bitter varieties and the resultant problems for hop growers in certain areas of the Community led the Council to adopt special measures for the hop sector in 1987. 10 Regulation (EEC) No 2997/87 introduced special aid amounting to ECU 2 500/ha - subject to a maximum area of 1 000 ha per Member State - to be granted to recognized producer groups who undertake to implement a plan to convert areas under bitter varieties to aromatic or super-alpha varieties. In June 1989 the Council adopted Regulation (EEC) 1809/89 amending Regulation (EEC) No 2997/87 with a view to increasing the number of growers qualifying for aid under the varietal conversion programme. The amended criteria now allow special aid to be granted throughout the Community and not just in certain areas, as was originally provided for. A further restriction laying down that producer groups could take part in the conversion programme only if their total area did not increase in the period 1986 to 1988 was also lifted. The extension of the duration of the programme from 31 December 1990 as originally provided for to the end of 1995 gives the producer groups more time to implement their conversion plans. A further change was introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 423/95, extending the time limit for implementation of the conversion programme by a further two years, i. e. up to the end of 1996, in the case of Spain, Portugal and Belgium and by one year in the case of the United Kingdom. This amendment became necessary, as far as Spain is concerned, when many hop growers, whose land at the time was involved in a reparcelling project, made it known that they were prepared to take part in the varietal conversion programme. It was not possible to carry out both measures, i. e. reparcelling and subsequent varietal conversion, in the time originally provided for. For the three other Member States the reasons were a shortage of planting stock (Portugal) and bad weather (Belgium and the United Kingdom). The Community varietal conversion programme has been very well received by hop growers. All hop-growing Member States are taking advantage of it with the exception of Ireland. Some of the varietal conversion programmes submitted have been revised several times, above all to comply with requests for further areas to be included (see Annex, Table E). The programmes submitted by the different Member States provide principally for grubbing up the traditional bitter varieties Brewer's Gold and Northern Brewer, with which it is increasingly difficult to compete with American super alpha varieties on the world market, and also, in the case of Germany, grubbing up the aromatic Hersbrucker variety, which is no longer finding market outlets. 11 4. CONCLUSIONS On the basis of the foregoing analysis the Commission proposes that income aid be granted to growers for the 1995 harvest. The average level of aid for producers proposed is lower than for the 1994 harvest for the three groups of varieties. Under Article 12a of Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71 the Commission proposes that the same rate of aid be granted for areas planted with experimental varieties as for 'other varieties". The possibility of granting aid for growing experimental varieties was introduced in 1990 when the Council adopted Regulation (EEC) No 2780/90. The purpose of the aid, which can be granted for land used by growers for the cultivation of experimental varieties in collaboration with a research institute, is to encourage the development of new varieties, which must be continued if hop growing in the Community is to remain competitive. 12 Proposal for a COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No laying down, in respect of hops, the amount of aid to producers for the 1995 harvest 13 EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM On the basis of the attached Commission report on the production and marketing of hops from the 1995 harvest it is proposed that the Council adopt the attached proposal for a Regulation setting aid to hop growers for that harvest at the following levels. aromatic varieties bitter varieties other varieties experimental varieties ECU 444/ha ECU 416/ha ECU 298/ha ECU 298/ha. The proposal takes account of changes in returns and production costs in relation to the 1994 harvest for the different variety groups, with experimental varieties receiving the same aid as "other varieties". While average production costs are more or less the same as for the 1994 harvest (a rise of only 0. 08%), average returns per hectare for the three groups of varieties rose to ECU 6 271/ha (+ 10. 39 %), ECU 5 716/ha (+ 21. 85 %) and ECU 5 175/ha (+ 19. 05 %) respectively. The proposal is therefore for a proportionate reduction in the aid for the three groups of varieties. By comparison with the 1994 harvest the average aid rate for all varieties together decreases by 14. 88 % (from ECU 510/ha to ECU 434/ha). The cost of ECU 12. 2 million. the proposal to the EAGGF Guarantee Section is estimated at 14 Proposal for a COUNCIL REGULATION (EC) No of laying down, in respect of hops, the amount of aid to producers for the 1995 harvest THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community, Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71 of 26 July 1971 on the common organization of the market in hops , as amended by the Act of Accession of Austria, Finland and Sweden and by Regulation (EC) No 3290/94 of 22 December 1994 on the adjustments and transitional arrangements required in the agriculture sector in order to implement the agreements concluded during the Uruguay Round of multilateral trade negotiations2, and in particular Article 12(7) thereof, Having regard to the proposal from the Commission3, Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament, Whereas Article 12 of Regulation (EEC) No 1696/71 provides that aid may be granted to hop producers to enable them to achieve a fair income; whereas the amount of this aid is fixed per hectare and differs according to varieties, taking into account the average return on the areas in full production as compared with the average returns for previous harvests, the current position of the market and trends in costs; O J N oL 175, 4. 8. 1971, p.
