DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAMME :
Objective(s):
1. General objective
To enhance the image of fruit and vegetables as 'fresh', 'natural', 'tasty' and 'healthy'
products and to lower the average age of the fruit and vegetable consuming public, viz.
by stimulating consumption by young people.
To promote eating fruit and vegetables during the entire day.
To promote the entire range of fruit and vegetables.
2. Marketing objective
To create a further increase in the consumption of fresh fruit and vegetables in the target
group (+16% by 2014 vis-à-vis 2010). Enhancing the consumption of fruit and
vegetables in the direction of the recommended daily dose, i.e. 300 g vegetables and 2 to
3 pieces of fruit a day (source: Flemish Institute for Health Promotion and Sickness
Prevention – VIGeZ).
5
Marketing plan
Promotion/communication: building further on the ADL concept to increase the
consumption of fresh fruit and vegetables in the context of increased attention for healthy
food.
Product: all fresh vegetables and fresh fruit
Place: cooperation with large distribution and retail
Price: market prices
3. Communication objective:
To highlight the product advantages of fresh fruit and vegetables. These are essential in
the context of a balanced diet. In addition, to translate the rational benefits into feeling
good about yourself.
Strategy:
- Offensive: growth strategy.
- Growth potential: stimulating the use of fresh fruit and vegetables within the health
trend.
Increasing consumption frequency during the entire day by raising the number of eating
moments.
Individual face-to-face contact with purchase and marketing managers of the major
retailers will take place to involve them in the ADL campaign. A custom made plan,
including incentives, will be rolled out for each of them to make the All Day Long
campaign more suited to their own communication. Tastings will take place in all
seasons. Below-the-line activities (contests, events, etc.) in which the target groups will
be approached in a personal and compelling way will be used to incite them to action.
Target group(s):
Young families with parents younger than 44 years via the purchaser 25-44 years. Role
model towards children.
6
Themes:
1. Promoting consumption during the entire day through the six different user moments
(breakfast, elevenses, lunch, teatime, evening meal, evening snack: All Day Long).
2. Recommendation to eat fresh fruit and vegetables every day (recommended amount cf
health council).
3. Fresh fruit and vegetables are natural, healthy and fit perfectly in a tasty and balanced
diet.
Aspects covered:
quality
safety of food
specific production methods
nutritional values
health impacts
labelling
animal welfare standards
respect for the environment
image of Community products

Throughout the year, below-the-line actions (Fruit and Vegetables Week, All Day Long
events, incentives and tastings at distribution), supported by press and website.
Actions
1. Production
1.1. Creation and Print Promo material
Overall budget: 20.000€ in YR1 | 10.000€ in YR2 | 10.000€ in YR3.
Generic information brochure (1 x YR) size A5, recto/verso print (120.000 ex.). In the
brochure All Day Long's objectives will be presented as well as a reference to the online
platform of the campaign. Distribution will take place at tasting events. Copywriting will
be done by VLAM, the realisation by the executing agency.
8
x
The All Day Long-campaign will focus on the cooperation with and presence at POS.
A flyer (1 x YR) will be created for the tastings in the distribution chains. The flyer will
contain general information on the campaign as well as the recipes that will be prepared
during the tastings (flyer: 60.000 ex.). The flyer will be created by VLAM.
Posters (1 x YR) will be distributed amongst groceries to promote the campaign (5.000
ex.). Copywriting will be done by VLAM, the realisation by the executing agency.
By use of a toolbox the possibility of tailor-made promotion material will be offered to
different distribution chains as support for incentives. The distribution chains will be
responsible for the printing and distribution of the material. As teaser towards the
distribution chains a number of re-usable generic promo items will be produced (big
banners, mini-beach flags, window and floor stickers) in order to convince them to
conclude a communication plan with ADL.
1.2. Creation and Photography Recipes/Products
Overall budget: 10.000€ in YR1 | 10.000€ in YR2 | 10.000€ in YR3.
Each year 36 ADL-recipes will be created. All of them will be published on the website
and some will be selected to be used in the flyers (tastings POS).
Creation of photographic images to be used on the website, POS material and other
promo material that will be created in relation to 'below the line' actions.
2. Below-the-line actions
2.1. Actions Distribution
Overall budget: 57.500€ in YR 1 | 61.000€ in YR2 | 61.000€ in YR3.
2.1.1. Digital Toolbox
Budget: 20.000€ in YR 1 | 20.000€ in YR 2 | 20.000€ in YR 3
Besides the creation of general promotional material to be used in the programme, a
graphic studio will also develop tailor-made promotional material for distributors
that will be available through a digital toolbox. Print and distribution of the
promotional material will be at the charge of the distributors.
9
All the content in the toolbox will be developed on the basis of the general look and
feel of the campaign though personalized in function of the partner-distributors who
will integrate it into their own communication tools, this all year long throughout the
3 year programme.
Graphics will all be in PDF-format avoiding alteration and will all carry the
necessary European co-financement mention.
Toolbox accounts will be accorded manually and managed by VLAM on the basis of
an agreement for usage to be signed beforehand. The agreement has been edited
according to the applicable EC rules.
2.1.2. Relation management distribution sector
Budget: 20.000€ in YR 1 | 20.000€ in YR 2 | 20.000€ in YR 3
One of the lessons learned in the first ADL campaign is the importance of face-toface management with the distributors. The sector is not interested in a generic
campaign without some level of personalisation: the big players in the distribution
sector need to be approached on an individual basis and there has to be custom made
action and promotion material. As competitors they are not interested in a common
approach.
In the new campaign it is important to have a regular face to face relationship with
the marketing executives and purchasers of the different companies in order to come
to direct agreements with the companies on their custom made ADL actions.
This might involve visible presence at the POS through posters, displays, wobblers,
floorstickers as well as publicity in their promo folders or integrated in their own in
house actions.
Because it is very important for the ADL campaign to be clearly present in the POS,
the distribution sector will be involved as much as possible in the development of the
campaign. They will be represented in the technical committee responsible for the
follow up of the campaign.
2.1.3. Incentives
Budget: 17.500€ in YR 1 | 21.000€ in YR 2 | 21.000€ in YR 3
Incentives will be organised in the shops of distributors as an addition to their
actions in the fruit and vegetable sector.
10
The distributor will organize the incentive whereas practical issues could be dealt
with by the proposing organisation (transport, cooking isle, cook and products).
2.2. Week of vegetables and fruit
Overall budget: 84.000€ in YR 1 | 84.000€ in YR2 | 84.000€ in YR3.
The Week of Vegetables & Fruit is considered as one of the highlights of the campaign
and takes place at the start of spring (end of March) when stores are filled with fresh fruit
and vegetables. The Week is a platform for initiatives aimed at different target groups
who are encouraged to eat more fruit and vegetables.
First day of the week is about publicity of the campaign towards the target groups
through different press and media channels. Also important is for the Week to be
promoted via the different food distribution channels (promo material, toolbox,
tastings,…).
Besides these two approaches the campaign will also organise a competition for
companies before the Week encouraging them to promote fruit and vegetables
consumption within their organisations.
Distributors will also be encouraged to participate by promoting the Week in their stores
using the promotion material, toolbox, tastings etc.
Cooperation with press and media through a press tour finally will result in a national
health story based on the All Day Long concept.
2.2.1. Competition All Day Long Company of the Year
Budget: 55.000€ in YR 1 | 55.000€ in YR2 | 55.000€ in YR3.
ADL wants to encourage companies to offer fresh fruit and vegetables to their
employees. As incentive ADL will go and look for the ADL company of 2012
through a competition.
By way of 4 newsletter waves (4 mailings to approx. 120.000 companies) and the
professional representative organisations (UCM, Unizo, Voka), two companies (1
Walloon and 1 Flemish) are finally to be selected as All Day Long Company.
National press coverage for the competition will be sought by a partnership with the
press and the media.
11
Before the Week of Vegetables and Fruit both companies will be selected and during
the Week a diploma will be handed over by the ADL ambassador. At the same time
the ADL team will treat the employees on healthy snacks and smoothies.
The proposing organisation will collaborate with a mediapartner for the 'All Day
Long Company of the Year' competition to become a nationally known item.
2.2.2. National Press Conference
Budget: 5.500€ in YR 1 | 5.500€ in YR2 | 5.500€ in YR3.
The program of the Week will be presented at a national press conference at which
press and media as well as partners of the Week will be invited.
2.2.3. Press Tour
Budget: 23.500€ in YR 1 | 23.500€ in YR2 | 23.500€ in YR3.
Day 1, 2 and 3: Press tour visiting different editorials where for example fresh F&V
snacks are offered and where live on air free publicity is obtained.
Day 4 and 5: Award ceremonies at the winning companies of the competition in
Flanders and Wallonia. Thereby the All Day Long trophy is awarded and workshops
for the employees are organized.
2.3. Free-publicity generator
Overall budget: 20.000€ in YR 1 | 20.000€ in YR2 | 20.000€ in YR3.
Through an All Day Long ambassador (Kim Gevaert in the previous campaign) a
maximum of free publicity is sought via press and media coverage before and during the
Week by means of 'actes de presence', photoshoots and interviews.
2.4. All Day Long presence at events
Overall budget: 48.500€ in YR1 | 48.000€ in YR2 | 48.000€ in YR3.
Contrary to the first 2008-2011 campaign during which invitations for events occurred
regularly this proposal foresees a budget for presence at events where the All Day Long
campaign can be linked to healthy lifestyle or food. Presence will be limited to 4 events
12
to be determined and they will be selected depending on possible numbers of target
public attending them and on the event's theme.
For YR 1 following events have been selected:
20km of Brussels (May 2012 - sports event - 30.000 participants)
Avanti Ghent (Sep 2012 – musical bike event – 45 concerts for young and old)
Hapje-Tapje Leuven (Jul 2012 – culinary event – 20.000 participants)
Fête l'été La Hulpe (May 2012 – Castle festivities – 10.000 participants)
Selection of events for YR 2 and 3 will be made based on the experience in YR 1.
Preferably the same events will be chosen, though if necessary others will be selected.
At the events consumers will be offered tastings of season bounded products prepared in
a central stand by a cook and his or her assistant. These presences will of course
contribute to the visibility of the campaign and will also be occasions at which the
generic brochure will be distributed.
2.5. Posters Retail
Overall budget: 3.500€ in YR1 | 3.500€ in YR2 | 3.500€ in YR3.
To create even more publicity besides the involvement of the distribution sector, yearly
5.000 posters will be send to local retailers.
3. Media
Overall budget: 40.000€ in YR 1 | 40.000€ in YR2 | 40.000€ in YR3.
With newspapers, magazines and other media deals will be made on communicating the
All Day Long campaign. These deals will consist out of partly paid contributions and
partly free editorial communication.
4. Agency costs executive organization
Overall budget: 36.500€ in YR1 | 35.500€ in YR2 | 35.500€ in YR3.
The executive agency's budget falls within the regulation's margins. It has three
components: a fee for the development and use of the campaign concept in all its
different forms, a fee for the right of use and copyright and a monthly fee for accounting
the programme.
13
5. Actions VLAM
Overall budget: 124.000€ in YR1 | 132.000€ in YR2 | 130.000€ in YR3.
VLAM will be responsible for the execution of a number of fundamental aspects of the
campaign.
5.1. Delivery and management content nutritional information
Budget: 6.000€ in YR1 | 6.000€ in YR2 | 6.000€ in YR3.
VLAM's food information cell (NICE) will deliver and manage content related to food
information.
5.2. Coordination, content management and interaction website
Budget: 29.000€ in YR1 | 19.000€ in YR2 | 17.000€ in YR3.
VLAM will also coordinate and manage the website. Interaction through the website
becomes more and more important and entails a daily follow-up. New tips, recipes and
newsflashes in the picture will be weekly published. A weekly blog will refer to trends,
actuality and news on vegetables and fruit.
The existing website will be freshened up in YR 1 and a more efficient search engine for
the recipes will be set up. The website will continue to function as an essential
communication tool for the whole of the campaign (products, recipes, actions). Social
media will be fully integrated in order to create more activity on the website.
5.3. Copywriting, lay-out and print communication material
Budget: 19.000€ in YR1 | 19.000€ in YR2 | 19.000€ in YR3.
VLAM's press service will be responsible for the copywriting and lay-out of all
campaign related texts. Their expertise will also be used for press relations regarding all
'below the line' actions.
Translation and printing of some promotion material will be outsourced.
14
5.4. Tastings
Budget: 70.000€ in YR1 | 88.000€ in YR2 | 88.000€ in YR3.
Besides visual presence in POS, the earlier ADL campaign experience learned that more
animation on site is necessary. Through incentives and especially tastings in POS ADL's
message should be passed on even more effectively.
Tastings will be distributed equally over Flanders and Wallonia and this during 300 days
a year (150 weekends, Friday and Saturday) covering all seasons and their seasonal
related fruit and vegetables.
In YR 2 and 3 the number of tastings will be elevated. Follow up of the tastngs will be
done by VLAM.
Anticipated impact:
To have the consumption of fresh fruit and vegetables increased by 16% in the target
group 25-44 years by the end of the campaign vis-à-vis 2010.
Awareness of the campaign logo of at least 50% in the target group.
A positive impact on the consumption of fresh fruit and vegetables on minimum 40% of
the people who have seen the campaign.
The impact of the campaign will be measured. An assessment will be made as to the
degree to which the campaign has been noticed by the target group and whether this has
resulted in a change of attitude in that group. This measurement will take place at the end
of the campaign (YR 3) via an online questionnaire using a random sample of people
representative for the target group.
In addition, the evolution of consumer behaviour for fruit and vegetables in the Belgian
market will be tracked. This will take place by constantly tracking the purchases of fresh
food by a panel of 5.000 families who are representative for the Belgian population.

RESULT OF THE ELIGIBILITY AND QUALITY EXAMINATION
Remarks:
This proposal is a continuation of the ongoing EU co-financed All Day Long campaign
(2008-IM-486-BE (VLAM)-FRESH F&V) that ended on 5 August 2011.
Based on the evaluations during the first campaign focus in this proposal has strongly
shifted towards 'below the line' aspects of fresh fruit & vegetable promotion.
From a communicative point of view the brand All Day Long proofed to be taken up
quite well by the target group. Therefore this follow up campaign will emphasize more
on activating the target group thereby trying to enhance the consumption of fresh fruit
and vegetables amongst the target group.
Part of the programme will be executed by the proposing organization.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAMME :
Objective(s)
1. Inform on the quality and the safety of European fresh vegetables.
2. Re-build confidence in consumption of fresh vegetables, and encourage the purchasing
of European produce.
Strategy :
The programme will focus on quality, safety and the re-establishment of consumer
confidence in fresh vegetables. The programme will be represented by a very
recognisable logo and clear slogans such as: ’EU FRESH & SAFE’ and slogans will be
devised for the target groups with the aim to engage consumer interest and secondly to
instil a positive attitude for consuming fresh vegetables. In doing so the programme will
strive to actively encourage consumers to participate and make others aware of the
quality and the safety requisites that EU produce respects and is well known for.
The programme logo will be a visible driver in all of the programme activities and will
remind consumers that the produce being promoted is quality safe. Utilizing different
linguistic styles and professional photography with the programme slogans and the
information materials the target consumers will be reminded, impressed and given
confidence to consume quality fresh vegetables and make them a part of the daily
alimentation needs.
The focal point of the programme campaign is the consumer as an individual having
particular alimentary requirements. The actions will aim to address consumer awareness
and provide information. After an initial period of design, development and production of
programme information materials, the programme looks toward participating in the
recommended exhibitions in order to establish strong trade contacts with new and
22
existing stakeholders. Specific attention will be paid to including activities that will be
addressed to consumers in countries and areas that were directly affected by the outbreak
on fresh vegetable consumption. These activities will include the following:
Matchmaking events (B2B): exhibitions and/ or institutional meetings
Events: public events and conferences open to consumer associations/representatives;
thematic meals arranged in representative places, educational/informative meetings and
seminars, visits to production places, degustations in supermarkets.
Target group(s)
Households (women, families, elderly consumers)
Themes:
Active involvement in the campaign ‘EU FRESH & SAFE’ and in doing so, stressing
attention of the labelling, safety and quality of European fresh vegetables, the taste and
variety are particular for a balanced daily alimentation.
Consumers will be awarded quality and security when consuming fresh vegetables.
Information material on the reliability, the flavour and the safety of the produce will be
disseminated in different ways. Informative leaflets, interactive web portal, advertising
campaign on media, activities in supermarket and in other selected public places are
some of the actions for informing consumer target groups regarding the particularities of
the produce.
Women are always interested in having more information and clarifications about the
hygienic food procedures, and in general, about the safety of European fresh vegetables,
as direct consumers and especially in a family context where they look after children. A
balanced diet and high consumption of fresh vegetables is, highly recommended by all
nutritionists and is particularly important in some phases of life such as the growth
period.
Elderly consumers focus more on quality produce and tend to eat more fresh vegetables
dependent on their affordability, more often than not they are the highest consumers. ‘EU
FRESH & SAFE’ will be the working slogan and be of interest to all the target groups as
outlined in the programme.
‘Eat easy’
‘Fresh vegetables. Quality, safe choices’
The consumers will be the focal point of the informative campaign and they will be
involved in the programme advertisement campaign. Consumers will be part of different
steps of assessment and awareness activities: by the evaluation of programme
effectiveness and monitoring also the sharing of information (word of mouth much more
relevant in particular target groups such as housewife and elderly people).
Other messages as the freshness of the produce, the quality and the availability of
different produce will be disseminated with different advising activities.
Aspects covered :
quality
safety of food
specific production methods
nutritional values
health impacts
labelling
image of Community products
23
Messages to be conveyed :
- Produce is natural and fresh
- Quality taste (safety, value and taste, production methods, environmental protection)
Actions, including their scope/volume and a provisional timetable:
Anticipated impact:
The expected impact of the programme is:
To increase consumption / demand of fresh vegetables
To promote a “five-a-day”-type approach
To increase daily fresh vegetable consumption by children and youths.
Improve the image / awareness of produce as being fresh, natural and good quality
To promote fresh vegetables as a part of a balanced diet
The expected impact relates directly to the objective of the programme:
24
1. To improve the image of the products as being “quality fresh” and “naturally safe”,
and encourage their ongoing consumption.
Demand:
Specific: Increased consumption /demand; this will be reflected by an increase in sales,
increase in consumption and increase in internal trade with the targeted markets. Increase
in demand will be measured throughout the 24 month duration of the programme at
regular intervals which will be the end of each programme year phase. Increase will be
achieved due to the fact that consumers will be actively informed and convinced that
these products are nutritious, tasty, easy to use and readily available all year round to
purchase and consume.
Measurable: Demand will be measurable as results and statistics become available. Interim
results regarding trade will be the result of specific questionnaires to the target group of
distributors and producers after matchmaking activities and after meetings at scheduled
exhibitions. The specific questionnaires will be conducted throughout each of the programme
phases; the questionnaires are discussed in detail in the section below “Evaluation of the
programme”. The tables below indicate the total measurable share and the measurable share for
each of the selected products in the programme, these estimates are conservative and are based on
previous year actuals and forecasted assessments of the targeted cities/population and targeted
groups, professions and age brackets of consumers.
Achievable: it is anticipated from the activities foreseen in this proposal regarding
information distribution, participation at exhibitions, samplings and/or degustations
among others will see a rise in demand from all consumer target groups for all the
products in the proposal.
Relevant: advertising tools for this programme are result oriented and fit to achieve
programme objectives of increasing demand.
25
Time bound: the 24 month programme supports the measures and activities for the
expected impact of increasing demand in the target markets. The activities are detailed
and considered for real time implementation in the time schedule.
Consumer awareness:
Specific: Increased awareness of produce recognition, varieties of produce available, the
quality and nutritional characteristics and how to prepare and consume the produce. This
will be achieved specifically by the comprehensive website, information materials, point
of sales degustations and samplings etc.
Measurable: Improvement of consumer awareness will arise through the implementation
of the measures and activities throughout the duration of the programme. This will be
measured by collecting survey questionnaires that will be completed at point of sales and
where possible at other programme activities the expected impact here is a predicted rise
of consumer awareness between 10-20%, dependent on the targeted consumer and
differing need of consumption. Target groups will be defined and pre-tested at the
beginning of the programme and then re-questioned after the first phase to determine the
actual rise in product awareness.
Achievable: Website information continuously updated, e-mail and other communication
tools giving consumers product information and confidence, of where to buy, how to eat
and nutritional information.
Relevant: other instruments are in place to reach the target groups, consumer information
such as leaflets, media broadcasts and events such as degustations and seminars. The
different tools utilised allow the programme to cover all the target groups in order to
achieve the programme objectives. Questionnaires and other survey measures indicated
will also pay particular attention to young consumers and families not only because they
are potential consumers but also because of the opportunity allowed to provide
information regarding new and good consumption choices.
Time bound: the activities as shown in the time schedule allow for the measures and
activities to realise the expected impact of consumer awareness in the time frame
allocated.
Evaluation of the Programme
The evaluation is a significant component of the programme as it will assess (at the end
of each project phase) whether or not the measures and actions, fulfill the objectives.
All processes related to the Evaluation of the programme will be conducted by an
independent body that will be selected on proven experience regarding technical capacity
and professional experience of the staff and experts who will conduct the data collection,
analysis of the programme. The technical capacity of the Evaluators will be assessed on
the basis of expertise, knowledge, efficiency, experience and reliability in the following
areas;
Expertise in data collection techniques
Expertise in data analysis and data interpretation
Excellent reporting skills
The overall objectives of the “EU Fresh & Safe” programme are to:
1. Inform on the quality and the safety of European fresh vegetables.
2. Re-build confidence in consumption of fresh vegetables, and encourage the purchasing
of European produce.
The evaluation tasks follow the EU guidelines expressed in the “European Commission
green Paper on promotion measures and information provision for agricultural
26
products”. Hence they are structured into the following steps: identify, monitoring,
evaluating results and reporting.
Identification
This is the initial phase expressed by an analysis of social and demographical indicators
as well as the analysis of general context, the demand situation and market trends.
Weight of consumer purchasing/per capita:
The market trends /changes /sensitivities in respect of the activities.
Analysis and scope of activities
Foreign trade and produce availability
The evaluation will focus on the specific and well defined target groups
Young consumers
Households (all ages)
The evaluation on target groups and market trends will be monitored by the following
indicators. These are examples only as there will be a comprehensive analysis to cover all
aspects as required by this evaluation.
The production in comparison to consumption: market trends of fresh products,
production trends of fresh products
The appeal of fresh food on young people: average fresh food consumption by age
group
A well balanced diet: obesity and young obesity on total population.
Monitoring
This phase is oriented in measuring the effectiveness of the programme against SMART
analysis. Information will be obtained by periodic sample surveys on target population,
as well as the evaluation of all programme measures and activities.
A questionnaire will be developed and used as an effective communication tool. The
questionnaire will be considered along with other instruments of the project such as the
website in order to survey consumer confidence and awareness in buying FFV’s. It is
intended that there will be interviews or focus group discussions, however at this stage
these may be directed towards particular targets traders, distributors and producer groups.
The questionnaire will need to consider the following parameters in order to fulfil the
quantitative and qualitative requirements of the evaluation
Awareness
Interest / Buyability
The following steps will be considered:
1. How the questionnaire will be administered
2. Formulation of questions, language testing
3. Questionnaire layout / printing
4. Pre-test questionnaire
5. Follow-up and review / re administration of questionnaire
6. Collection, storage and data entry of result
7. Analysis, reporting and review
8. Recommendations and conclusions
Some example questions that may be included in questionnaires:
(Questions will be reviewed / pretested / and discussed may include more or less)
27
i. Familiarity with fresh vegetable produce? (Pictures of produce being promoted)
ii. Frequency of eating fresh vegetables? (Please indicate from list provided)
iii. Preference for either fresh vegetable? (Please indicate from list provided)
iv. Have you noticed the labelling?
v. Do you understand it?
vi. How many of these fresh vegetables do you eat a day? (Please indicate from list
provided)
vii. Have you seen this produce being advertised? If so where? (list of media)
viii. Do you require further produce information? (Yes / No)
ix. Age –bracket? (tick boxes)
x. Sex (M/F)
Evaluating results and Reporting
Data will be gathered from the market trends and the questionnaire surveys after each
programme activity and then results, comments and all other information gathered will
need to be recorded and elaborated this will be the PCA (Principal Component Analysis)
analysis, that is a statistic process that enables the creation of synthesis indicators of
qualitative and quantitative aspects to be monitored. The creation of these macro
indicators will help to define further scenario and provision trends of the consumption of
the promoting products. This quantitative and qualitative analysis will even establish
criteria to evaluate the success of the entire programme
Reporting will occur according to the stage and phase of the programme and appropriate
recommendations will follow as is usually the case in such programmes. Interim reports
will be reported and discussed at programme Monitoring Group meetings where
necessary changes as required or are appropriate are made to programme activities.
Interim and Final Reporting structure will/can include:

RESULT OF THE ELIGIBILITY AND QUALITY EXAMINATION
Remarks:
In application of Article 7(1) of Regulation 3/2008 the Member State concerned shall
examine the conformity of the proposals for programmes with the relevant guidelines and
also check that the programme offers value for money.
In application of Article 1 par.2 of Regulation 501/2008 "Programme" means a coherent
set of operations of a scope that is sufficient to contribute towards improving information
about, and sales of, the products concerned.
In application of Article 8(2c) of Regulation 501/2008, proposed programmes shall
contain sufficient detail to enable their compliance with the applicable rules and their
cost/benefit ratio to be evaluated.
In application of Article 19(1) of Regulation 501/2008 an annual report must contain an
evaluation of the results obtained.
However,
- it should be more clear what are the objectives of the programme. Are these only the
information objectives?, or also the sales objectives? This should be clarified so that also
the character of the programme can be correctly defined as of a mixed character or purely
"information"; objectives are defined in a different and inconsistent manner on pp. 17,
33, 34, 35, 64, 66. If the commercial element (increase of sales) is to be one of the main
objectives of the programme, it should be more clearly explained on p. 64 what is the
expected increase of value after each phase of the programme. Similarly, the increase of
consumer awareness should be defined precisely and unambiguously for each target
group.
- it should be clearly defined in values/quantities what are the levels of exports from
Bulgaria to all the target markets of the products to be promoted; this is especially
important to be able to measure the commercial effect of the programme (increase of
sales); in the market study data for Latvia and Lithuania are provided instead of Czech
Republic and Romania (15 and 16), please correct this element;
- on p. 68 the evaluation method should contain a provisional timetable of the foreseen
measurements, and their technique, on how big samples it would be preformed and how
many times. If the programme should also have commercial objectives, it should be
better explained by which statistical means this would be measured.
Moreover there are the following remarks concerning the actions:
- on p. 52 personnel type and hourly rates of the "promoters" and the "chief promoter
should be provided, moreover the item "logistics and product tasting in POS" should be
31
described more in detail with the indication of how much of which product would be
distributed, and that it would be purchased at factory prices;
- on p.53 it is mentioned that winners of the carving competition will be invited to the
manufacturing places – please indicate the cost of this action;
- on p. 54-55 it should be confirmed that the four persons travelling for each event from
Bulgaria do not work directly in the Proposing Organisation, otherwise these costs
should be included in the overheads; the costs of the accommodation should be justified;
finally, please define in a clear way how many days each event will last;
- on p. 56 it should be confirmed that the 5 producers that would take part in the
workshops, do not work directly in the Proposing Organisation, otherwise these costs
should be included in the overheads; moreover it should be explained where the article
for the event would be published and if its cost is justified as it should contain only 300500 words; are these workshops going to take place at each fair?, and if so, is their cost
foreseen for each fair? Is the unit cost of the "hostesses" justified – please indicate
personnel type and hourly rates of the "hostesses" and reduce this cost if it exceeds the
normally practiced fees for this type of service in the given markets;
- on p.57 it should be explained better why the indicated websites have been selected; are
they for instance the most frequently appearing ones in the most popular search engines?
- on p.62 it should be described more in detail according to what key the invitees would
be selected, what would be the task of the "master chef", in which locations/cities the
dinners would take place and if the unit cost of the "ushers" is justified – please indicate
personnel type and hourly rates of the "ushers" and reduce this cost if it exceeds the
normally practiced fees for this type of service in the given markets;
- on p. 63 it should be described more in detail how the invitees and the places of interest
would be selected, moreover where the article for the event would be published and if its
cost is justified as it should contain only 300-500 words

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAMME :
Objective(s)
Increase consumption of vegetables, especially leafy vegetables , cucumbers and
tomatoes
Regain/strengthen consumer confidence and consumer demand
Compensation of the losses experienced by production and trade sector
Success of the campaign will be measured against the market penetration
(Käuferreichweite) regarding salads, cucumbers and tomatoes. The aim is to reach precrisis levels.
Method: Census (Marktdatenerhebung) following market analyses by AgrarmarktInformations-Gesellschaft mbh (AMI) on the basis of the GfK household panel.
Strategy :
Uncertainty among consumers remains very high. Every second German consumer
changed consumption behaviour due to the EHEC crisis (Emnid poll). Nobody can
provide the confirmation that fruit and vegetables (F&V) are 100% safe. Taking this into
account, a campaign promoting the consumption of F&V might be criticised of either
ignoring the danger or of playing it down. On the other hand, there is a huge demand for
credible information about a healthy and balanced diet, especially in the current situation.
The evaluation/review of the EHEC crisis should not be the focus of the campaign, the
focus of the campaign should be placed on intrinsic values of fresh fruit and
vegetables:
-emotions and pleasure when eating
-health
-safety, controls, traceability
The participating organisations have already started joined efforts and
implemented actions on the German market financed out of their own budgets and
with some federal support. The actions of this new proposal will build on this.
The aim is not let the good results obtained by previous campaign for F&V be ruined and
to prevent a downgrade in the consumption patterns of consumers.
Target group(s) :
Consumers in general
Women (heads of households) with children
Themes :
Main theme will be the benefits consumers can get out of eating F&V 5 times a day:
36
F&V are fresh and healthy
F&V and the pleasure of eating "problemlos genießen"
"Do the right thing for my family"
Essential ingredients for healthy living
Hygienically correct treatment of fresh F&V
Aspects covered :
quality
safety
nutritional values
health impacts
Messages to be conveyed :
The campaign communicates
that F&V in Germany are safe
what politics, agriculture and trade are doing to increase transparency
that Germans should eat more F&V
A clear reason for consuming F&V is provided. F&V are healthy because
They contain all vitamins and minerals essential for life
The safety of products is regularly and systematically checked
Actions, including their scope/volume and a provisional timetable:
Actions are targeted at POS.
1) Big outdoor posters (18/1) next to POS
This is the main action of the campaign. The action will take place in spring when the
season for fresh F&V kicks off.
Details: 3.179 outlets in 1.834 cities with 4.722 poster areas. 3 different motives.
Production of 30.000 posters in total. 314 GRP per city per flight. Coverage: 94% of
household heads equivalent to 32,64 million people. Total GRP: 1.568,4
Budget: 414.000 € per year, 1.440.000 € overall
2) POS "action weeks"
Only preparatory work (establishing contacts with POS, conceptual design of the
ativity etc.) is part of the programme. There are no costs involved in the actual "action
weeks" which will be financed and implemented by the POS themselves.
The aim of the action is to motivate the participating retailers to initialise campaigns
with emphasis on fresh F&V themselves (outside the EU co financing.) These
campaigns could consist in tastings and "Zweitplazierungen" (placement of fresh F&V
at a second location within the shop) to raise awareness for the products. 5 am Tag
material can be used. (The EU Logo would not be displayed at the tasting stands as
tastings would take place outside EU campaign budget).
37
Budget: 10.000 € per year, 30.000 € overall
Increased awareness for the "action weeks" will be generated using
-above mentioned POS poster campaign (action 1)
-additional activities of producers (flyers, stickers on products, leporellos attached to
products etc) to announce the action weeks and draw attention to it
-PR: The action weeks will also be communicated via the accompanying media work
3) Media Work
The topic “EHEC” moves journalists as well as consumers. Information regarding
hygiene and product safety are eagerly taken on and listened to.
Basic mediawork will consist in a press kit that is kept up to date over the campaign
period and in press- and picture services. Focus of media work on springtime when
season for fresh F&V starts. Media targeted: daily press, magazines, radio, TV
(specialised press, nutrition, family, cooking, lifestyle, retail and trade sector) with a
guaranteed print edition of 4 million.
1 Expert telephone-pressconference per year with 4 experts and at least 10 media
represented (generating 2,5 million print impressions)
1 Emnid poll per year in relation to the F&V and healthy living. The results will be
used to generate relevant news
online PR. Dissemination of 5 texts per year to at least 100 portals with 3 million
visits in total
The results of the press work will also be published on www.machmit-5amtag.de
Justification of Budget:
According to a study by GfK, 70% of consumers decide what to buy only at the POS.
Hence, marketing and promotion activities at the POS can have a high impact on
consumer decisions.
Anticipated impact:
Synergies with the current promotion programme (506) will be created. The current
programme motivates consumers to change their behaviour/consumption patterns at the
work place/at school. The new proposal will additionally target these consumers at the
POS where they are motivated to buy F&V. For the first time, the cooperation with
several representative sector organisations allows for a nationwide consumer campaign at
the POS.
Overall aim is to take market penetration (Käuferreichweite) for salads, cucumbers and
tomatoes back to pre-crisis levels. This will be tested via a census following a market
analyses conducted by AMI (Agrarmarkt-Informations-Gesellschaft mbH).
Further evaluation methods include:
38
Motive-test for poster campaign (group discussion, 10 persons) conducted by an
external body
Sales statistics at participating POS conducted by an external body
Internet monitoring by the IB using common tracking methods to follow up on the
evolution of consumer confidence: Media resonance analyses (quantitative and
qualitative) of media reporting will be done on a regular basis. Page impressions and
visits on www.5amtag.de will be tracked.

RESULT OF THE ELIGIBILITY AND QUALITY EXAMINATION
Remarks:
The financial contributions to this programme stem from 4 organisations (O. und G. Büro
Holland, BVEO, DFHV, VLAM) out of which all but VLAM are 5 am Tag members.
The currently running programme by 5 am Tag came to an end on 14/09/2011. A new
programme was approved in the internal market round this year (MI-2011-DE-506). The
contract has however not been signed yet as 5 am Tag will not be able to secure the
approved budget because of the EHEC crisis, as income from membership fees dropped.
5 am Tag submitted a request to the Commission to extend the delay for signing the
contract in order to have time to adjust the programme. 5 am Tag notified the COM that
the overall programme budget of MI-2011-DE-506 will have to be reduced.

DESCRIPTION DU PROGRAMME :
Objectif(s) :
1. Improve the image and the awareness that quality fresh fruit and vegetables are guaranteed
safe.
2. Re-build consumer confidence to encourage the purchasing of European fresh fruit and
vegetables.
Stratégie :
This programme is addressed to the internal market as European consumers are the most
effected by the outbreak of the e.coli crisis and because the internal horticultural market is
still being affected in terms of commercial trade, not yet having regained pre-crisis levels. The
EU market also represents the most important market for Spanish fruit and vegetables. The
strategy will focus on recovering the consumer confidence for the consumption of fresh fruit
and vegetables after the recent e.coli crisis that has affected this sector. The focus of the
campaign will be on the safety and quality aspects of fresh fruit and vegetables.
The information/promotion programme will link the programme objectives and utilise
messages that are clever and effective as slogans with a play on the acronym FFV’s.
FFV’s – Fresh Fruit and Vegetables to emphasise that
Five FFV’s are 5 good reasons to enjoy your day
FFV’s are labelled for your safety
FFV’s. Cruuuunch Natural Quality
FFV’s, what are your 5 FaVourites?
43
FFVroooom…………….for get up and go
The slogans will be all accompanied by professional food styled photographs of fresh
seasonal fruit and vegetables; every crop season will be covered in order to show consumers
that fresh fruit and vegetables are available at any time of the year.
The programme strategy for DE and NL will be consumer oriented and will aim to have a
multiplying effect. For example, the “Quality on Wheels” promotional trailer will give the
consumers an opportunity to sample the available fresh seasonal produce and the promotional
material used in the activity will act as recognition to remind them of the other programme
activities.
The strategy will be based on awareness through advertising and information activities in
order to re-gain consumer confidence to consume European fruit and vegetables.
Another programme tactic will be to establish a contact or recognition between the
producers and the consumers. Many consumers are unaware of where or how the produce is
grown. This happens more often with the young generation. Informing the consumers
correctly, providing information on European safety criteria, on the place of origin and on all
the efforts that are made to produce gives consumers of all ages a different appreciation of the
produce, and the quality.
An important part of the programme strategy will be to provide specific recommendations
on the produce such as: when a product is available, seasonal variety, how to match natural
flavours of fruit and vegetables, how to properly preserve natural products. Helping
consumers in making informed choices will encourage consumers to improve their focus on
quality and enjoy the nutritional aspects of fresh fruits and vegetables.
Cibles :
Households (all age groups)
Young – children in educational establishments (primaire-secondaire)
Thèmes :
1. Active involvement in the campaign by encouraging the target groups to be aware about
the EU guarantee of safety and quality. Highlight to consumers that EU food labels are a
tool to identify quality. EU labelled fruit and vegetables are an easy way to recognise safe
and high quality produce, Consumers will be informed about labelling and how EU
products are quality checked from “farm to fork” guaranteeing them safety and best
choice.
2. Purchasing EU produce also assists the short food chain supply. It will be gain consumer’s
attention regarding the European particularities of production. Safety means not only better
controlled produce, but it means better environmental choice in harvesting and producing.
3. Promoting a seasonal approach and a smaller distance product purchase (short supply
chain) will promote positive effects for the European environment. By adding fresh fruit and
vegetables to the daily diet not only will it help consumers maintain a balanced diet but
also Europeans help by investing in the future of European producers.
44
4. Flavour and seasonal products are the basis of European cuisine and food-style.
European fruit and vegetable producers are the guardians of EU quality traditions. Advising
consumers and tasting different varieties of fruit and vegetables, combining and re-covering
old recipes and learning that quality food is one of life’s enjoyments.

Messages à communiquer :
The main messages as indicated below have been formulated to be used as potential
programme slogans that will feature on the various advertising measures throughout the
programme. These messages will support and be the thread throughout the entire
programme which will link the theme, objectives and all activities of the programme.
Fresh Fruit and Vegetables (FFV)
5 reasons to enjoy your day
Labelled for your safety
Cruuuunch natural quality
My 5 faVourites
EU guarantee of safety and quality
All messages to be used as slogans in the target countries will be based on “word play”

Impact prévisible :
47
The foreseeable impact of the programme relates directly to the objectives;
1. Improve the image and awareness that quality fresh fruit and vegetables (FFV’s) are
guaranteed safe and
2. Rebuild consumer confidence to encourage the purchasing of fresh fruit and vegetables.
Estimations of increasing consumer awareness regarding the quality and safety of FFV’s will
be determined by restored consumption rates to pre crises levels and beyond. Further
increases in consumption will be measured during the programme at regular intervals and will
be reported in the interim reports at the end of each programme phase.

The trend analysis to estimate the increase in consumption of fresh fruit and vegetables based on a 5%
increase on pre-crisis data from DG Trade Export Helpdesk, are forecast as a result of the planned
implementation of activities for the target markets. (A standard deviation of 0.5% is predicted because
of the volatility of the fresh fruit and vegetable market). These figures do not represent all fruit and
vegetable exports but the sum of the popular produce (such as tomato, courgette, aubergine, peach,
apricot, grapes, citrus, etc.) A trend of 5% increase in consumption is similarly forecast for the Spanish
market over the same period.

RÉSULTAT DE L’EXAMEN D’ÉLIGIBILITÉ ET DE LA QUALITE:
Remarques :
Ce programme mérite les remarques suivantes :
Les objectifs du programme (renforcer la confiance et augmenter les consommations de fruits
et légumes) ne sont pas définis en termes quantifiables, (pour exemple, baisse des
exportations suite aux problèmes de E. colis. Estimation de l'accroissement de la
consommation, suite à la exécution du programme)
Ces indicateurs et leurs prévisions seront comparés à la situation après le programme afin de
pouvoir évaluer l’impact de celui-ci.
Actions:
Selon l'article 8§1 point c) du R. (CE) n° 501/2008, « le programme doit être suffisamment
développé pou que sa conformité avec la réglementation applicable et sa conformité avec la
réglementation applicable et son rapport cout/efficacité puissent être évalués ».
Certaines actions ne sont pas assez développées, aussi bien au niveau du contenu que du
budget, pour pouvoir être évaluées:
Il faut détailler et justifier le budget, par an, pour les actions suivantes :
- Cabinet de presse (Allemagne et Royaume-Uni).
64
- Pour la conférence de presse, indiquer la ville, le lieu, la location d'espaces, le nombre
prévisionnel de participants, etc.
- Contrat avec un grand prescripteur.
Compte tenu des dispositions de l'article 8 – "Diffusion et exploitation des résultats" – du
modèle du contrat et notamment du fait que le contractant s'engage, tant pour lui-même
que pour les organismes d'exécution et ses sous-contractants éventuels, à réserver à la
Commission et, le cas échéant, à l’Etat membre ou aux Etats membres tous les droits
d'utilisation des résultats des actions faisant l'objet du contrat, il est nécessaire de clarifier
la justification et les conditions/limitations des droits qui seront perçus par le prescripteur
(110.000 € par an).
- Le cout du Méga poster (138.234€) est trop élève, et en conséquence il doit être réduit.
- Prix du concours a la radio.
Vérifier les couts des insertions dans les chaines de TV:
- Das Perfecte Dinner-Vox : A la p. 85 apparaît une tarif d'émission par an (30 insertions)
de 16.000 €, mais à la p. 86, apparaît un coût annuel de 32.000 €.
- Topfgeldjager-zdf : A la p. 85 apparaît un tarif d'émission par an (20 insertions) de
7.000 € alors qu’à la p. 86 apparaît un coût annuel de 28.000 €.
- Dans l'action « Green Week », détailler le coût du personnel (nombre d’heures, catégorie,
etc). Si le superviseur appartient à l'organisme d'exécution, sont coût est inclus dans les
honoraires de l'organisme d'exécution. En outre, il y a une augmentation de ce coût de 14,6
% d'un an à l'autre (3.000 € à 3.439 €) sans justification.
- Vérifier le coût journalier des hôtesses au Royaume-Uni qui varie de 339€/jour (BBC
Master) à 118€/jour (Vitality Show).
- Voyages sur les zones des productions (Allemagne et Royaume-Uni)
Il n'y a aucune indication du nombre des journalistes/associations de consommateurs.
- Evaluation des résultats des actions
Le programme ne donne aucune indication quant à qui exécutera cette évaluation. Selon le
point C 5 (évaluations des résultats des actions) de l’annexe III du modèle de contrat : « La
réalisation des évaluations sous a) et b) sera confiée à un organisme extérieur indépendant,
expert en la matière, sélectionné conformément aux dispositions applicables dans l’Etat
membre concerné. »

DESCRIPTION DU PROGRAMME :
Objectif(s) :
L’objectif général est de relancer la consommation en levant les freins de consommation par
rapport aux fruits et légumes en répondant aux inquiétudes des consommateurs et en leur
permettant de retrouver la confiance d’une consommation sereine des produits européens.
Les autres objectifs permettant d’y répondre sont:
- Informer et rassurer les consommateurs sur les modes de production et de
commercialisation des fruits et légumes, en particulier en ce qui concerne la qualité, la
traçabilité et les contrôles.
- Améliorer la visibilité des acteurs et des pratiques de production en mettant en place une
prise de parole distinctive, spécifique et interactive avec le grand public
88
- Interpeller sur le caractère « familier = facteur de réassurance des fruits et légumes frais,
source de plaire et de bien être au quotidien
- Démultiplier les occasions d’expérimenter les fruits et légumes frais, afin de permettre au
consommateur de reprendre du contrôle sur sa consommation.
Stratégie :
Mettre en place un véritable plan de relance permettant d’impulser une dynamique de
progrès. Il s’agit d’impliquer et de mobiliser toutes les parties prenantes de la filière dans une
démarche de protection et de soutien de l’économie et des valeurs des fruits et légumes frais
pour communiquer auprès du grand public.
Mettre en avant l’engagement de chaque stade de la filière par un discours de preuve, inscrit
nécessairement dans un dialogue.
- Engagement et exigence quotidienne de professionnels passionnés, pour lesquels la
fraicheur est un métier
- Engagement sociétal, économique et environnemental défendus par nos prescripteurs
- Engagement riche de sens, de plaisir et de bien être pour nos consommateurs.
Le focus sera mis sur l’engagement du Juste Moment (caractère périssable, vivant,
performance des professionnels). Le plan d’action sera rythmé par la saison.
68
L’accent sera mis sur le caractère familier de nos produits : (au coeur des vies de chacun), à
travers le vrai visage des fruits et légumes frais, et l’art de vivre

- Une meilleure sensibilisation aux démarches de qualité et aux modes de production européens ;
- Une augmentation de la consommation et des ventes après l’état de crise engendré par la
bactérie E. Coli.
71
Les impacts indirects attendus pourraient être:
- Une meilleure influence sur la consommation des fruits et légumes, passant par une
appropriation des messages de réassurance et confiance ;
- L’amélioration du dialogue entre professionnels de la filière, journalistes et consommateurs.
Méthodes d’appréciation de l’impact :
Pour mesurer l’impact escompté final du programme, nous nous baserons sur le croisement :
- Des résultats post-test et données de suivi réalisées par l’organisme d’exécution et
INTERFEL. Ces mesures seront notamment :
Les post-tests de l’action Média
Les questionnaires diffusés lors des jeux concours organisés dans le cadre des actions PLV.
La mise en oeuvre d’une analyse de la presse permettant de mesurer les discours « anxiogènes

RÉSULTAT DE L’EXAMEN D’ÉLIGIBILITÉ ET DE LA QUALITE:
Remarques :
Eligibilité du programme :
oui/non
Premières observations à communiquer à l’EM :
Conformément à l’article 8 paragraphe 2 du règlement (CE) 501/2008, «les programmes
présentés doivent être suffisamment développés pour que leur rapport coût/efficacité
puissent être évalué»
78
Conformément à l’article 16 paragraphe 2 du règlement (CE) 501/2008 «Les États
membres utilisent les modèles de contrat que la Commission met à leur disposition.»
1- Les honoraires de l’organisation proposante en tant qu’organisme d’exécution pour
certaines actions du programme, doivent être présentés en time sheet, comme prévu à
l’annexe III B.1.3 du modèle de contrat.
Action 1
2-Justifier pourquoi avoir les mêmes montants pour les 2ème (260 spots) et 3ème (240
spots) années si le nombre de spots est différent (page 21).
Action 2.1 (pages 30, 31, 32)
3-Justifier le besoin de la création d’une autre cuisine pour l’année 3
4- Justifier le nombre de personnes et le coût unitaire de l’équipe d’animation culinaire/
diététiciens prestataires.
Action 2.2 (page 35)
5-Justifier le nombre de personnes et le coût unitaire de l’équipe d’animation/
prestataires;
6- Justifier la quantité et le coût unitaire des consommables/ goodies/ supports;
Action 3.1
7- Justifier le coût unitaire, le nombre des animateurs comité pilotage (page 42).
8- Eviter le chevauchement entre argumentaires (page 42).
9-Pourquoi avoir des montants plus élevés pour les 2ème et 3ème années pour la
conception/ création (page 42).
Action 3.3
11- Détailler la composition de journées d’animation/ dégustation (page 45)
Action 4.1.a
12- «campagne web»-(page 57) comme prévu à l’article 23 paragraphe 2 du règlement
(CE) 501/2008 ‘Le matériel réalisé et financé dans le cadre d’un programme visé au
paragraphe 1, y compris les créations graphiques, visuelles et audiovisuelles, ainsi que les
sites internet, peut faire l’objet d’utilisations ultérieures moyennant autorisation écrite
préalable de la Commission, des organisations proposantes concernées et des États
membres qui apportent une contribution au financement du programme, en tenant compte
des droits des contractants découlant du droit national qui régit le contrat’. Comment
79
cette action sera-t-elle accomplie, tenant compte que le site web est la propriété
d’INTERFEL?
13- conforment à l’article 11 paragraphe 3 du règlement (CE) 3/2008, «Les organismes
chargés de l’exécution d’actions d’information et de promotion doivent avoir une
expertise des produits et des marchés concernés et disposer des moyens nécessaires pour
assurer l’exécution la plus efficace possible des actions, en tenant compte de la
dimension communautaire des programmes concernés.» Dans ces conditions, les coûts
facturés pour la location du matériel (écran, projecteur, ordinateur) pour le déjeuner de
presse (page 53) et pour l’action 4.3 (page 72), ne sont pas éligibles.
14- Les frais de 133€ par personne pour déjeuner de presse (page 53) semblent excessifs.
15- «Déjeuner de presse» (page53) et «frais de transports en région» (page 56)- Les frais
de l’organisation proposante sont couverts par les frais généraux (3%) comme prévu à
l’annexe III B.1.3 du modèle de contrat. Adapter le budget en conséquence.
16- Expliquer les frais liés à la logistique, l’organisation, l’assistance (page 53)

Action 4.1.b
18-Détailler les frais pour la location de la salle (page72)
19- Les honoraires «partenariat Interfel» ne sont pas éligibles (page 72) car Interfel
participe comme organisme d’exécution.
L’action 5 (page 75)
20- L’évaluation de l’impact ne peut pas être considérée comme une action du
programme, il y a déjà un budget alloué pour cette fin
Suite à la réception des réponses de l'Etat membre (Ares 1149920 du 29/09/2011), les
informations complémentaires sont satisfaisantes. Note de dossier (ares 1141652 du

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAMME :
Objectives:
Provide ample and detailed information on characteristics of fresh fruit and vegetables
products with special emphasis on:
→ quality and freshness (nutritional value, organoleptic properties, seasonality)
→ naturalness (production methods, respect for the environment)
→ trustworthiness (traceability and security).
Promote consumption of fresh F&V particularly by pointing out that these products are
safe and trustworthy and produced in line with EU standards on food safety and
traceability
Inform about the health benefits of consuming F&V
Improve the image of fresh F&V products by speaking about the joy and liveliness of
natures colours
Educate the target group to consume a variety of fresh F&V products according to the
"five portions per day" practice
Strategy:
Without specifically referring to the E. Coli crisis, underline the aspect of security and
traceability of European F&V products
Considering the relatively low budget, invest more heavily in internet advertising instead
of TV
Achieve continuity and optimise the results by using the slogan of the past campaign
"Nurished by the colours of life – Five colours of wellbeing"
83
Link to sports events as safe and healthy diet is a basis of physical health
To revive the consumption, use the promotion of fruit and vegetables at the point of sale
as the most effective way for raising consumer awareness
Target group(s):
Consumers in general and in particular young families with parents below 35 years of age
and teenagers with their parents
Journalists and opinion makers
Themes:
Production methods: traceability, quality systems, environmental protection, link to EU
origin;
Quality of fresh F&V produce in terms of safety, nutritional value and organoleptical
characteristics;
Importance of consuming fruit and vegetables and their various nutritional properties
in the context of a balanced and healthy diet;
Validity, in terms of psycho-physical well being and prevention, of the principle of
consuming five servings per day varied according to five different colours.
Aspects covered:
quality
safety
nutritional value
respect for the environment
Messages to be conveyed:
Traceability: it is possible to trace and follow the path from farm to fork.
Flavours of various products: their history, traditional dietary habits, possibilities for use in
recipes and the recipes themselves.
Hedonistic character of consumption of F&V: the pleasure of choosing and eating fresh and
healthy food, uncovering the taste.
84
Image of freshness and natural character of F&V: eating fruits and vegetables is to get your
fill of well-being, thanks to vitamins, minerals, fibres, and organic compounds that give the
products their vibrant colours and protective substances that are valuable to our health.
Principle of "five a day ': many scientific studies have shown that eating 5 servings a day of
fruits and vegetables helps prevent some of the common diseases and ensures the well being
which we need to feel healthy and live better.
Variety and seasonality of fresh produce: the importance of knowing and appreciating
products of each of the four seasons.
Accessibility and ease of preparation of many fruits and vegetables which do not require
cooking.
Actions, including their scope/volume and a provisional timetable:
Calendar of advertising activities:
(1)
Print advertising
It is proposed to advertise in health supplements of two major daily newspapers - Corriere
della Sera and Le Reppubblica – 4 times per year in each one of them at the time point of
sales activities are taking place.
Advertisements used for the previous campaign will be adapted.
(2)
Radio advertising
85
A 30'' radio spot will be produced to be aired on CNR RADIO FM, a national network with 6
million listeners per day. It is planned to implement one week of advertising two times per
year at the beginning of the period of point of sales activities with a total of 84 airings per
year.
In addition, the campaign will sponsor a daily radio show dedicated to health of the same
network called "A tutta salute". Each year there will be one week of sponsoring. It will
include a 5-second announcement at the beginning and 30-second spot in the end of the show.
(3)
Online communication
For this type of communication, two biggest and most visited Italian information portals are
chosen, Repubblica.it and Corriere.it. They have respectively 1.7 and 1.3 million unique
visitors per day and 14.1 and 11.4 million page views. It is proposed to place the TV spot used
in the previous campaign, with minor adjustments in terms of messages, for 14 days.
Other websites will be used as well, but the proposing organisation does not propose the exact
planning for this activity – e.g. use of pop-ups, banners, links, and advertorials - as the
execution body has not been chosen yet.
(4)
Point of sales activities
Retail chains have not been identified yet, but it is planned to organise 2 cycles of promotions
per year – one in winter and one in the beginning of summer. The promotion will last for one
week in each shop. At least two days of promotions with hostesses per point of sale will be
organised from Fri-Sun. A total of 250 points of sale per year will be targeted and distributed
equally over the national territory.
In addition to promotional corners equipped with a desk and promotional brochures, the
proposing organisation plans to place 5-15 posters and 5-10 signs in cardboard as well as
promotional indicators for price tags with invitation to buy. Shopping bags will be given to
those buying at least 3 portions of products from different colour groups.
(5)
Events sponsorship
It is planned to sponsor rugby events. This sport is benefiting of increasing attention as the
Italian team is improving in quality. Sponsorship of two games in 2012 is foreseen: ItalyEngland in February 2012 and Italy-Scotland in March 2012, both taking place at the Olympic
stadium in Rome. A similar activity would then be organised in 2013 and 2014.
A stand will be set up where fruit will be distributed to spectators along with leaflets. In
addition, the sponsorship includes airing of the TV spot, campaign logo visible at the stadium,
during press conferences, on the backdrop for interviews after the game, on the official
programme, on the website of the Italian rugby federation. Logo of the federation can be used
on gadgets, and press releases inserted in the press map of the federation.
(6)
PR
A team of PR experts will take care of compiling the mailing lists, contacting journalists,
preparing press releases and background materials, organising press conferences and
interviews and preparing clipping reports. One press conference in Rome will be organised
each year (3 in total) with 80-100 expected participants.
86
In addition, a web specialist will update the website of the previous campaign and it will be
used for this campaign as well.
(7)
Print material and gadgets
The following materials will be produced:
Brochure: 32 pages, 1 million copies, distributed at points of sales and sports events
Poster: 8.700 copies, distributed at all actions
Gadgets: 195.000 recyclable shopping bags
Anticipated impact:
Increased consumption of fresh F&V (+0.05% to +0.1% in comparison to period feb-apr
2011)
Improved knowledge about security, quality and organoleptical characteristics and
nutritional properties of F&V products
Improved knowledge about benefits of diet rich in F&V and of the "5 per day" concept
The latter two items will be measured using a phone survey.
Number of established contacts:
1.000.000 contacts at points of sales
600.000 persons for rugby events
300 press clippings

RESULT OF THE ELIGIBILITY AND QUALITY EXAMINATION
Remarks:
This programme proposal will capitalise on the results of the programme which ran in the
period 2004-2007. It proposes to use its visuals, messages and some of the material produced
within the campaign.
Programme eligible:
Yes/No
First observations to be communicated to MS:
(1) In application of Article 8(2) of the Commission regulation 501/2008, the programmes
shall contain sufficient detail to enable their compliance with the applicable rules and their
88
cost/benefit ratio to be evaluated. In this sense, the proposing organisation shall submit
additional information concerning the following points:
a)
Annex II was not included in the paper version of the programme proposal received by
the EC
b)
Cost for creativity/adaptation of materials for points of sales is too elevated (40 man
days in the first programme year, 20 man days for the second and third)
c)
The budget dedicated for renting of promo space from the retail chains is relatively
high (450 euro per shop for a total of 112.500 euro per year); this budget shall be
presented as a separate position in the global budget and shall not be used/reallocated
for other activities within the budget for POS promotions.
d)
Budget rugby: give details on prices per individual material produced; 300 euro per
hostess per event is exaggerated; reduce considerably and give a justification for costs
of 10.000 for animation activity and distribution of gadgets (considering that hostesses
are paid separately).
e)
Organisation of press conferences: 32 MDs for organisation are too much (according
to the description on p. 58, this service is partly covered by the PR budget); no fees
should be given to speakers from the proposing organisation and public bodies (budget
1.500 euro per press conference); Who are the 15 VIP guests who will be paid
transport, hotel and given allowances for the press conference? Exhibition of past
activities at the press conference location costs up to 6.000 euro – such costs cannot be
accepted; where will the video be used (cost 5.000 euro per press conference including
photographer). There is no target for the result of press conferences: how many
articles, publications are expected?
f)
Concerning the methods proposed for the measurement of results as well as the list of
quantitative objectives as described on pages 64-70, the proposing organisation shall
adapt the following:
The proposing organisation is informed that the monitoring system comprising controls as
presented in the programme documentation cannot be considered as a part of the activity of
measurement of results and the budget for measurement of results cannot be used for these
administrative tasks which shall be covered by overheads.
Numerical indicators as proposed by the proposing organisation relate to the correct and
complete implementation of activities and not to their impact; therefore the attainment of
objectives cannot be proven by registering such numerical indicators. For example, the
achievement of objectives for the work of the press office is not proven by the number of
press releases, newsletters distributed to journalists, but by the number, type and content of
publications as a result of such activities.
There is no method proposed for measurements of attainment of objectives of increasing
knowledge on characteristics of F&V, "5 portions per day" concept and of improving the
image of F&V. A survey with the target group seems suitable for measuring such
variables.
The proposing organisation shall clearly set the starting point and targets for measuring the
increase of sales which is one of the main programme objectives.
The proposing organisation shall present a budget dedicated to measurement of results broken
down by activity. Such a budget should include the above mentioned activities to measure
the attainment of all objectives, including the change of perception by the target group.
89
(2) In application of Article 4(2) of Commission regulation 501/2008, any reference to the
origin of products shall be secondary to the central message of a campaign. However, the
proposing organisation indicated that the link with origin will be one of the themes. An
explanation of how this concept will be developed shall be submitted.
(3) In application of Article 2(1) of Council regulation 3/2008, the information and promotion
measures shall draw attention to intrinsic features and advantages of Community products,
notably the quality and safety of food, specific production methods, nutritional and health
aspects, labelling, animal welfare and respect for the environment. In this sense, the campaign
shall inform not only about the intrinsic features of F&V products, but also to the fact that
they are Community products. In addition, the proposing organisation suggests using a
message on traceability referring to the commitment of producers; this message should rather
refer to EU traceability standards.
(4) In application of Article 4(3) of Commission regulation 501/2008, any reference in
messages to be disseminated to the effects on health of consuming the products concerned
shall be based on generally accepted scientific data. Messages referring to such effects must
be acceptable to the national authority responsible for public health.

Remarques :
Ce programme mérite les remarques suivantes :
Les objectifs du programme (renforcer la confiance et augmenter la consommation de fruits et
légumes) ne sont pas définis en termes quantifiables, (par exemple, baisse des exportations
suite aux problèmes de E.coli ; estimation de l'accroissement de la consommation dans les
pays-cibles au terme du programme).
Ces indicateurs et leurs prévisions seront comparés à la situation d’origine afin de pouvoir
évaluer l’impact du programme.

Lettre d'information complémentaire transmise à l'E.M. le 23.9.2011 (Ares 1013141)
concernant les observations de la page 6.
La délégation italienne a répondu à ces observations par e-mail du 29.9.2011 (Ares 1035586)
Dans leur réponse, les autorités italiennes font savoir qu'elles ont pris en considération toutes
les observations faites par la Commission. Les objectifs du programme ont été quantifié:
récupération de la baisse des exportations lors du 1° an (-2% vers l'All et-19% vers la FR,
ainsi que la consommation en l'Italie-0,4%), et augmentations des exportations et de la
consommation de 1/2 %, lors des 2 autres ans.
Le bilan a été modifié suite à une erreur de calcul des frais généraux
Au vu de ces réponses aux observations complémentaires, le programme peut être accepté.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAMME :
Objective(s):
Tо increase German consumer confidence in greenhouse vegetables, plus minimize
exposure to crises (such as the E. coli crisis) and encourage the consumption of
greenhouse vegetables.
Only a small percentage of the German population gives heed to the recommendation
from the health authorities to consume a minimum of 400g of fruits and vegetables daily.
Trust in the safety of fruits and vegetables is a precondition for increasing their
consumption.
Aim 1: To increase German consumer confidence in greenhouse vegetables.
Aim 2: To achieve in 2012 the 2010 levels of German consumption of tomatoes,
cucumbers and peppers, and to achieve a marked increase in the German consumption of
tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers for 2014*.
* By Greenhouse vegetables we mean vegetables which are growing in a greenhouse. Examples of
these vegetables are cucumber, tomato, peppers, eggplant, zucchini, green beans and radish sprouts
(under glass). Since cucumber, tomato en peppers are part of the top 5 most popular vegetables in
Germany, these vegetables will play a more explicit role within the campaign.
Strategy:
The following three communication strategies are to be employed:
1. Online marketing (internet, online media, social media and scanning)
A website will be the focus and act as the main port of call for the target group for
information on greenhouse vegetables. This website will be trailed among the target
100
group by means of an online media campaign on appropriate websites. The follow-up
that is aimed for is for the target group to start forwarding information from this website
to friends and contacts via social media (Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn). It is the intention
also to trigger a conversation about the message itself in social media. Information is to
be placed on the internet to which consumers will be led when they scan in the electronic
codes known as QR codes.
2. Advertising
Communicating directly to the consumer using adverts in the print media, radio and TV
spots, billboards, bus shelters, etc. Possibly, the key figure in the campaign is to be Harry
Wijnvoord, a German-Dutch TV household name who can endorse the message on radio
and TV.
3. Communication on the shop floor
This campaign cannot afford to miss out on the places where the target group decides
whether or not to buy greenhouse vegetables. Accordingly, there will be communications
in and around the store that can help boost consumer confidence. Retailers will be
encouraged to consider this message in their own media (such as sales flyers and
magazines).
Target group(s):
The target group for this information campaign is German families with children. This
group has been identified because parental confidence in greenhouse vegetables is crucial
to stimulate their sales: surely, we want our children to have the best. Moreover, children
are tomorrow's consumers. Habits learned young will stick.

Messages to be conveyed:
Key message - Enjoyment
The key message is 'carefree enjoyment' or 'problem-free enjoyment'.
This message will be further expressed in a stimulating thematic headline and matching
image. The thematic headline and image will encapsulate, in a pithy and consumerfriendly way, how greenhouse vegetables are nurtured in a protected environment 'under glass' - playing up all that the goodness of nature has to offer.
The following is an example of the message expressed in a slogan: 'Genussvolle
Salatgemüse aus der geschützten Natur im Geschmackshaus'
Further creative elaboration on this key message will be left to the executing agency.
Secondary message - Confidence
This message is all about the Seven Principles of greenhouse vegetables:
- Safety above all else
- All geared towards freshness
- Founded on nature
- The continual quest for sustainability
- Skilled production, crafting the product with loving care
- Accessibility
- Keeping tabs on taste

Description of metrics (including results metrics)
1. Research in quality and quantity terms
Results metrics will be put together annually from research in quality and quantity terms
among the target group, i.e. German families with children. Quantity research will be
undertaken in order to quantify the outreach achieved by campaign activities, with a
follow-up examining message content by means of quality/quantity (kwali-kwant)
analysis. This is also how the appreciation and impact of the campaign are to be assessed.
The survey is to be carried out by an independent market research agency.
105
This research will serve to test the impact of our efforts and, where required, to inform
adjustments and refinements. For the purposes of this research, GroentenFruit Bureau
will be bolstered by specialists employed by the Product Board for Horticulture
{Productschap Tuinbouw) who is concerned with market and communication research
commissioned by the fruit and vegetable sector.
2. Market developments and consumption trends
To measure consumption trends, the Product Board for Horticulture will acquire GfK
(Growth from Knowledge) figures annually for fruit and vegetable consumption and for
the 30 most-purchased vegetables and 20 most-purchased fresh fruits in the Netherlands.
This will afford insights into market penetration, volumes purchased, spending and
pricing. The 2012 GfK figures acquired will also include consumer information in
lifecycle categories, providing insights into purchasing broken down by age, income and
household type.
3. Consumption Monitor
The Consumption Monitor will provide insights into consumption, the times at which it
occurs and the place of fruit and vegetables in daily life. It will be undertaken annually,
both in April and around Christmas time.
4. Netherlands Market Monitor for fruit and vegetables
The Market Monitor for fruit and vegetables will be compiled annually by the Product
Board for Horticulture, incorporating production, import and export, re-export, wholesale
& retail trade, consumer purchasing and trends. This will form a basis to gain insights
into fruit and vegetable sales trends.

RESULT OF THE ELIGIBILITY AND QUALITY EXAMINATION
Remarks:
Programme eligible:
Yes/No
First observations to be communicated to MS:
According to article 8, paragraph 2(c), of EC Regulation 501/2008, the programmes
submitted to the Commission shall contain sufficient detail to enable their compliance
with the applicable rules and their cost/benefit ratio to be evaluated.
Following observations demonstrate the lack of sufficient detail in the proposed
programme due to which a proper evaluation of the compliance with the applicable rules
and their cost/benefit ratio is impossible.
108
Lack of unit prices
The description of the actions under point 5.7 contains no financial details hampering a
proper evaluation. Especially the lack of cost build up with indications of unit prices
makes a thorough cost/benefit analysis difficult.
Too often references to annexes 5 and 6 are being used instead of describing in the
application form the details of the programme. It must be reminded that annexes are to be
considered as additional sources of information and not contain essential elements of the
programme which should be described in the application form itself.
Therefore the European Commission requests for point 5.7 'Actions' of the application
form to be reedited to allow a proper detailed evaluation.
Advertising
There is a very strong emphasis on classical advertising (61.7 % of the budget) in the
first year on the basis of a media plan by 'de Media Maatschap'. The choice for
national print media in the first year is acceptable tough the cost build up is not clear.
As for the advertising actions in year 2 and 3 the description 'If necessary optimizing
the media plan in year 2 and year 3 on the basis of the experiences in year 1' (see page
25 of application) is not acceptable for actions worth resp. 62.6% and 63.6% of the
annual budget.
On top of this the net cost for the advertising campaign is set by 'de Media Maatschap'
at 600.000 EUR (see page 3 and 11 of annex A ''Concept media plan for year 1")
though in the budget table the foreseen budgets for year 2 and year 3 are respectively
636.960 EUR and 646.960 EUR.
Since Action 3 'Advertising' on page 24-25 of the application form does not contain
supplementary financial details, since the budget table contains the above described
discrepancy with the media plan from 'de Media Maatschap' and because no unit
prices and cost build up has been provided, further details on this topic need to be
provided.
The European Commission therefore requests more details regarding the detailed cost
build up (unit prices per magazine) of this action and an explanation for the foreseen
budget in year 2 and 3.
109
Budget table
Overhead costs for year 1 are to be limited to 31.117 EUR and for year 2 and 3 to
31.503,5 EUR (3% of total direct costs for the programme minus the part executed by
the proposing organization in that year).
The European Commission requests for the budget table to be corrected.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAMME :
Objective(s)
-Re-establishment of the positive image of fruit and vegetables (F&V) as a healthy
produce that can be consumed without worries
-Strengthening of consumer confidence – especially as regards fruit vegetables
(tomatoes, sweet peppers) and leafy vegetables which suffered most during the EHEC
crisis
-Normalising sales which plummeted drastically during the crisis. The estimated sales
level that would have been reached without the crisis serves as target value.
-Information about the strict European legislation for the production of fruit and
vegetables. Focus on hygienic standards, from production all the way through sales.
Strategy :
The hysteria created by the media during the EHEC crisis seriously and permanently
damaged the confidence of consumers in vegetables, even of loyal and convinced
consumers fruit and vegetables.
The following arguments will be used to win back consumer confidence. Fruit and
vegetables from the Community
-are produced according to the strictest hygienic standards
113
-have a traceable origin from within the EU
-are strictly controlled during the whole chain of production
-and can consequently be consumed without any worries
The following core message will be conveyed:
"Fruit and vegetables have always been and will always be the essential basis for a
healthy and balanced nutrition – and not even the EHEC scandal will change
anything about that"
"Fruit and vegetables are still a safe and delicious treat! Choose fruit and vegetables,
5 x a day!"
Target group(s)
Households (general) with a focus on families
Canteens, restaurants
Doctors and nutritionists
Themes :
To promote a ‘five-a-day’- approach (recommendation to eat at least five servings of fruit
or vegetable per day)
Fresh and natural products that guarantee "pleasure without worries" (bedenkenloser
Genuss)
Improvement of the image of F&V (healthy/safe) to compensate for lost consumer
confidence
Quality (safety, production methods, environmental protection in connection with the
origin of the products, traceability)
Variety of the offer
Seasonal differences in the offer of fresh products, information about the production
methods and controls
Excellent availability and easy preparation of fruit and vegetables: often no cooking is
necessary
Aspects covered :
quality
safety of food
nutritional values
health impacts
image of Community products
114
Messages to be conveyed :
Fruit, vegetables and potatoes are natural, healthy products that form an essential part of
a modern and balanced diet.
The variety of these products not only offers enjoyment but also provides a significant
contribution to health and ensures the supply with many essential nutrients.
Within the EU F&V are produced, processed and sold according to strict guidelines and
can safely be enjoyed
Quality of F&V in the EU is rigorously controlled to justify the confidence consumers
put into the products

Additional information:
AMA Marketing has its own market research division and 15 years experience with
studies on consumer behaviour in the field of agricultural products. Consequently, AMA
Marketing has at its disposal a huge pool of information for benchmarking and
comparative analysis with regard to the results of the EU funded promotion programmes.
One of the data pools in question is the RollAMA. RollAMA is a household panel that
was established in 1994 and for which every year a variety of data concerning all fresh
agricultural products are being collected from a panel of 2500 households. The RollAMA
is implemented in cooperation with GfK Austria (collection of data) and keyQUEST
(evaluation of data). RollAMA aims at providing an overview of all markets for fresh
products in terms of market development, segment adjustments /segment shiftings, price
development, change in shopping behaviour. RollAMA will be one of the tools used to
evaluate the programme.

RESULT OF THE ELIGIBILITY AND QUALITY EXAMINATION
Remarks:
Quantification of objectives 2 and 3 of the programme and confirmation of the
value for money of the proposal
The programme includes among its objectives:
•
To penetrate new markets / strengthening of the market position in existing markets
(Objective 2).
127
•
To increase the opportunities for exporting in third countries (Objective 3). This last
objective, which concerns European fruit, namely that produced in Romania, foresees
and increase of 15% by the end of the implementation of the programme (page 39).
Taking account of the current export statistics of cherries (CN code 0809 20) to Russia
and Ukraine provided in pages 22, 23, 34 35 and 36 of the programme, please provide
quantitative estimations for both Objectives 2 and 3.
Moreover, the value for money of the proposal should be further justified. According to
the data provided it seems to result that Objective 3 of the programme would be reached
with an increase in exports of 105 tons (15% * 700 tons of cherries produced in
Romania) by the end of the programme for a total cost of 994.227 EUR. That would
yield a cost/benefit ratio of roughly 9.468 EUR for each new ton exported to third
countries.
Budget of the programme and co-financing plan
The budget of the programme includes in pages 86, 88, 90 and 91 what seems to be an
evident error that needs to be corrected: the "Overheads" of the proposing organization
have wrongly been calculated as 5% of the total direct costs of the programme, instead as
4% of the said direct costs.
This percentage should be corrected whereas, as clearly explained in Annex III, point
A.2.A, "Overheads" for third countries shall not exceed 4% of the direct costs in the case
of programmes proposed by one Member State, as it happens to be the present case (the
programme is proposed only by Romania).
Consequently, "Overheads" indicated in pages 86, 88, 90 and 91 of the programme
should be recalculated as 4% of the direct costs.
Therefore, the total budget of the programme and its co-financing plan should be
corrected accordingly.

RESULT OF THE ELIGIBILITY AND QUALITY EXAMINATION
Remarks:
The UK lettuce market is worth €635m annually, 50% of which are imports, mostly from
other EU countries (Spain, Italy, France, Portugal and Holland). The UK imports a very
small percentage of leafy salad produce from non-EU countries, a maximum of 2%
from North Africa and the United States when there is unfavourable weather in the
UK and Europe.
It has a high market penetration (92%) with an average purchasing frequency of 21 times
per year. The main quantitative objective of the programme is to bring up the purchasing
frequency of the target group (women aged 28-34) from 17 times to 21 times per year.
The E.Coli outbreak has seriously affected the sector with over 90% of the UK claim for
compensation from the EU coming from leafy salad growers.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PROGRAMME :
Objective(s):
Improve the image and the awareness that the EU quality of fresh fruit and vegetables are
guaranteed safe
Re-build consumer confidence to encourage the purchasing of European fresh fruit and
vegetables
Strategy:
This programme proposal is targeted to the external markets of Russia and Ukraine as the
Russian and Ukrainian consumers were unintentionally affected as a result of the E.coli
outbreak in Europe. The Russian and Ukrainian authorities banned the importation of
fresh fruit and vegetable products from Europe and thus caused a shortage of availability
of fresh produce just as the summer seasonal fresh fruit and vegetables were becoming
available. The ban has been lifted for most exporting EU countries on the proviso that
imports are accompanied by authorised certificates guaranteeing the quality and safety of
the produce. The Russian and Ukrainian markets are of importance to the European
producers as they are the third largest export market for European produce. The
programme strategy will be centred on the information activities with promotional
activities supporting these. It is considered very important for this campaign strategy that
Russian and Ukrainian target groups, especially the consumer groups, become aware that
fresh fruit and vegetables are quality safe, and that they become sufficiently convinced
and confident in order to resume consumption.
The information / promotion activities will link the programme objectives and utilise
messages and slogans such as the following:
EU fresh fruit and vegetables: champions in quality
Naturally safe naturally good
EU fresh fruit and vegetables natural taste
137
Follow the label discover the EU quality
EU 4 seasons of quality taste
Safe and fresh, simply the best!
The slogans will be accompanied by professional food styled photographs of fresh
seasonal fruit and vegetables; every crop season will be covered in order to demonstrate
to consumers that fresh fruit and vegetables are available in seasonal varieties at any time
of the year. The Russian and Ukrainian market is integrated in this particular sector this
assists to support the effectiveness of the objectives and it is advantageous that the target
markets (RU & UA) also reflect cultural and social similarities with geographic
proximity. The programme strategy for RU & UA will be consumer oriented and will
aim to have a multiplying effect. For example, the degustations in supermarkets will give
the consumers an opportunity to sample the available fresh seasonal produce and the
promotional material used in the activity will act as recognition to remind them of the
other programme activities. The strategy will be based on awareness through advertising
and information activities in order to re-gain consumer confidence to consume European
fresh fruit and vegetables. Another programme tactic will be to establish a contact or
recognition between the producers and the consumers. Many consumers are unaware of
where or how the produce is grown. This happens more often with the young generation.
Informing the consumers correctly, providing information on produce labelling,
European safety criteria, on the place of origin and on all the efforts that are made to
produce gives consumers of all ages a different appreciation of the produce and the
quality.
Target group(s):
Households (Families of all ages and groups)
Mass catering operators
Themes:
1 Actively involve the target groups in the campaign by encouraging them to be aware
of the labelling which is the EU guarantee of safety and quality of fresh fruit and
vegetables. Highlight to consumer target groups that EU food labels are tools to
ensure the quality standards of the produce. EU fresh fruit and vegetable produce are
labelled making it easy to recognise the safety and high quality of the produce.
Consumers and mass caterers will be informed about understanding labelling and the
EU “farm to fork” guaranteed approach.
2. Flavour and seasonal variety are the origins of European well-being and food
enjoyment. The EU fresh fruit and vegetable producers are the guardians of EU
quality traditions. Advising consumer target groups of the different varieties of fruit
and vegetables and discovering traditional recipes of “pickling vegetables” or making
traditional “spoon sweets” with particular stone fruits, or traditional home made “soft
drinks” with citrus fruits, would be a fun way to involve families and young
138
consumers in participating in the social activities of enjoying fresh fruit and vegetable
produce.
3. To improve good alimentary habits of eating fresh fruit and vegetables in all consumer
categories, fresh produce fits all dietary regimes by providing a balanced diet. EU
fresh fruit and vegetables are rich in flavours and varieties.
Aspects covered:
quality
safety of food
specific production methods
nutritional values
health impacts
labelling
animal welfare standards
respect for the environment
image of Community products
Community systems for
PDO/PGI/TSG or organic products
graphic symbols for remote regions
wines with a protected designation
of origin or a protected geographical
indication, wines with an indication
of the wine grape variety
Messages to be conveyed:
Main messages are formulated to be used as potential programme slogans that will
support the themes, objectives and activities of the proposed programme.
EU fresh fruit and vegetables: champions in quality
Naturally safe naturally good
EU fresh fruit and vegetables natural taste
Follow the label discover the EU quality
EU 4 seasons of quality taste
Safe and fresh, simply the best!

Anticipated impact:
The foreseeable impacts of the programme relates directly to the objectives and what the
estimated results will be:
Estimated impacts on the recognition and the awareness on EU fresh fruit and
vegetables safety and quality up to 8-12%
Estimated effect on trade (purchasing) between EU (in particular regarding Greek fresh
fruit and vegetables) Russia and Ukraine forecasting a 3.5% annual increase
It is reasonable to assume that the programme activities addressed specifically to both
target groups will modify the habits in consumption of fresh fruit and vegetables
achieving a net per capita consumption increase, after 3 years project, of around 5%.
Methods of appreciation of the impact:
The evaluation is a significant component of the programme as it will assess (at the end
of each project phase) whether or not the measures and actions, fulfil the objectives. All
processes related to the Evaluation of the programme will be conducted by an
independent body that will be selected on proven experience regarding technical capacity
and professional experience of the staff and experts who will conduct the data collection,
analysis of the programme. The technical capacity of the Evaluators will be assessed on
