3. Only fruit and vegetables produced in the regions referred to in paragraph 4 shall benefit from additional financial assistance referred to in Article 35 of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013.
4. Regulations under Article 35(1) of Regulation (EU) No 1308/2013 must specify the regions to which the regulations apply.
The regions must be a distinct part of the territory of the constituent nation concerned and data must be available in order to calculate the degree of organisation of producers in the fruit and vegetables sector in those regions.
The appropriate authority must determine the regions where the degree of organisation of producers in the fruit and vegetables sector is particularly low on the basis of objective and non-discriminatory criteria, such as those regions’—
(a) agronomic and economic characteristics;
(b) agricultural and fruit and vegetable potential; and
(c) institutional or administrative structure.
The regions specified by such regulations shall not be amended at least for five years unless such amendment is objectively justified, in particular for reasons that are not related to the calculation of the degree of organisation of producers in the region or regions concerned.
