EXPLANAT ORY MEMORANDUM
From 1February 1973 colza and rape seed harvested inthe
Member States ofthe enlarged Community will circulate freely between
the original and the new Member States .
The fact that theintervention prices inDenmark and the
United Kingdom were fixed atalevel considerably lower than that of
theprices applicable intheother Member States leads tothe
possibility that seed harvested inthose countries ,having low
intervention prices ,may beoffered forintervention inMember States
where theprice inquestion ishigher .
Toprevent this from happening itshould beprovided that
colza and rape seed harvested intheUnited Kingdom and inDenmark
shall beoffered forintervention only inthecountry oforigin#
