Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social

Whereas Regulation (EEC) No ..., amends Council 
Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 (l) to introduce arrange­
ments providing for the fixing of a maximum guaranteed 
quantity for each variety or group of varieties in 
Community tobacco production; whereas any exceeding of 
that maximum quantity entails a proportional reduction in 
the prices and premiums for each variety; 
Whereas tobacco is grown in specific areas where it often 
constitutes a resource vital to the existence of agricultural 
holdings; whereas a reduction in the prices and premiums 
on account of the maximum guaranteed quantity being 
exceeded as a result of production from areas newly given 
over to that crop would lead to serious difficulties for 
producers in areas where the crop is grown traditionally; 
whereas any extension of tobacco growing outside the 
areas where it is grown should accordingly be discouraged 
by limiting the application of the prices and premiums to Article 2 
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day 
following its publication in the Official Journal of the 
European Communities.

the varieties of tobacco grown in traditional communes of 
production; whereas, in order to determine those com­
munes, account should be taken of whether the tobacco 
was harvested during a representative period; whereas, 
however, with a view to permitting conversion of tobacco 
production to sought-after varieties, certain varieties 
should be excluded from the application of this measure; 
Whereas the possibility of offering baled tobacco for 
intervention must be an exceptional means for processing 
and market preparation undertaking of solving difficulties 
arising from an abnormal market situation; whereas the 
offering for intervention over several consecutive years of a 
major percentage of tobacco prepared for market by the 
undertaking accordingly appears to be a practice which 
does not meet the objectives of the Community rules; 
whereas systematic recourse to intervention should 
accordingly be discouraged by reducing the derived 
intervention price applicable to the quantities offered,
