Explanatory Mémorandum
6000 metric tons ofcereals were allocated tothe Rwnndese
Republic under the1970/71Food AidProgramme .TheCommunity bore the
costs ofshipment totheplace ofdestination inthe recipient country
(Article 2,para .2aofCouncil Regulation (EEC )No1703/72of3August
1972 amending Regulation (EEC )No2052/69asregards thefinancing by
theCommunity ofexpenditure occasioned byimplementation ofthe19^7
Food Aid Convention ).
The Rwandese Government requested that delivery ofpart ofits
allocation beheld back and the Council decided togrant other countries
4500metric tons from the 6COOmetric tons for1970/71,itbeing
understood that that .-amount would beearmarked for Rwanda inthe
1973/7^Food AidProgramme andthat theshipment costs would beborne
inthe same manner .
From the financial point ofview this change requires anew decision
bytheCommunity totake over the costs ofshipment totheplaces ofdes­
tination ofthe 500 metric tons ofcereals allocated toRwanda under
the1973/7^Food AidProgramme toreplace thecorresponding provisions
ofRegulation (EEC )No1703/72.
The Commission therefore proposes that theCouncil adopt the
draft Decision annexed hereto .
