EXPLAHATORY MEMORAÏÏIJUM
1.Under Article 55(2 )oftheActconcerning theConditions ofAccession
andtheAdjustments totheTreaties ,the "accession "compensatory amounts
forthose products forwhich derived intervention prices arefixed in
theHewMember States are toequal thedifference between theprices
fi;:3d forthenewMember State concerned andthe common prices .As
regards cereals ,these provisions apply tocommon wheat andbarley for
which intervention prices arefixed inallthenewMember States .
Themarketing centres andtheprices applicable therein forthe1974/75
marketing year have been given inRegulation (EEC)No1128/74andthe
draft Regulation establishing certain marketing centres forcereals and
thederived intervention prices applicable therein forthe1974/75
season .Among these centres arethose where theprices have served asa
basis forthe calculation ofthe "accession "compensatory amounts .
Inaccordance with therules laid down inArticle 52(2 ),(a)oftheAct ,
these prices should bealigned with thelevel ofcommon prices forthe
marketing year 1974/75*I*1accordance with Article 55(2 )oftheActthe

compensatory amount which isapplicable forcommon wheat andbarley during
themarketimg yeat 1974/75•
2.Inrespect ofthose cereals forwhich nointervention prices have been
fired inthenewMember States ,therules forthecalculation andalignment
ofcompensatory amounts ,were ,pursuant totheActofAccession ,laid down
byCouncil Regulation (EEC)No229/73(2 )whereby thecompensatory amounts
forthese products aretobecalculated byapplying coefficients tothe
compensatory amounts that arevalid forthereference cereal .These coeffi­
cients were determined onthebasis ofprices orprice ratios inthenew
Member States .Accordingly ,Article 2(2)ofthesaid Regulation provides
foraprogressive adjustment ofthese coefficients inaccordance with the
timetable laid down inArticle 52(2 )oftheAct(6stages ),alignment ,that
is,with theexisting ratio between Community threshold prices .Theappli­
cation ofacoefficient tothecompensatory amount which isfixed forthe
reference cereal ,taking into account thevariations incommon prices ,and
theprogressive alignment ofthecoefficients with thethreshold price
ratio forthenewmarketing year ,constitute ,rules which enable thesecond
sta^ge ofalignment tobeachieved .
