28. 2. 90 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 49/103 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No . . . 
of . . . 
fixing the norm and intervention prices and the premiums granted to purchasers of leaf 
tobacco, the derived intervention prices for baled tobacco, the reference qualities and the 
production areas for the 1990 harvest and the maximum guaranteed quantities for the 1991 
harvest and amending Regulation (EEC) No 1252/89 
(90/C 49/65) 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 
thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament, 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social 
Committee, 
Having regard to the opinion of the Monetary 
Committee, 
Whereas Articles 2 (5), 4 (4) and (5) and 6 (8) of Council 
Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 of 21 April 1970 on the 
common organization of the market in raw tobacco (*), as 
last amended by Regulation (EEC) No . . . /89 (2), provide 
that the norm and intervention prices and the premiums 
granted to purchasers of leaf tobacco, the derived 
intervention prices for baled tobacco, the reference qualities, 
the production areas and the maximum guaranteed 
quantities are to be fixed in accordance with the procedure 
laid down in Article 43 (2) of the Treaty; 
Whereas, when the prices for raw tobacco are fixed, account 
should be taken both of the objectives of the common 
agricultural policy and of the contribution which the 
Community intends making to the harmonious development 
of world trade; whereas the objectives of the common 
agricultural policy are, in particular, to ensure a fair standard 
of living for the farming community and to see that supplies 
are available and that they reach consumers at reasonable 
prices; 
Whereas the norm and intervention prices for leaf tobacco 
must be fixed in accordance with the criteria laid down in 
Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 in order to 
encourage producers to convert, in particular, to the 
cultivation of those varieties which are most in demand, most 
competitive and least harmful to health; 
Whereas derived intervention prices should also be fixed for 
the 1990 harvest both for the varieties which, before the market organization came into force or, in the case of 
varieties grown in Greece, Spain and Portugal prior to their 
accession, qualified for a price guarantee at the 
baled-tobacco stage and for the varieties which are mainly 
grown in the Federal Republic of Germany, in order to take 
account of marketing practices in that country; 
Whereas Article 4 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 
provides for the fixing each year, for the following year's 
harvest, within an overall quantity for the Community and in 
line with the criteria laid down in that Article, of a maximum 
guaranteed quantity for each tobacco variety or group of 
varieties grown in the Community, which, if exceeded by 
production, will lead to a proportional reduction in the norm 
and intervention prices and in the premiums; whereas those 
maximum guaranteed quantities must accordingly be fixed 
for the 1991 harvest; 
Whereas, when the provisions on the production quantity 
control arrangements are applied, account should be taken of 
the differences in quality depending on the characteristics of 
the soil and.the climate; whereas those conditions are met for 
the Badischer Burley and Paraguay varieties; whereas 
maximum guaranteed quantities should consequently be 
fixed for specific production areas for those varieties; 
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1252/89 of 3 May 
1989 (3) fixes in particular the maximum guaranteed 
quantities for each variety or group of varieties of tobacco 
from the 1990 harvest; whereas, however, in view of the 
major, unforeseen changes which have occurred in the supply 
of and demand for certain varieties, the maximum 
guaranteed quantities for certain varieties should be adjusted 
in the interest of the producers; 
Whereas the premium granted to purchasers of Community 
tobacco is intended to enable them to pay producers of leaf 
tobacco a price which is equal to the norm price, account 
being taken of the trend in world price and the level of prices 
established by the interaction of supply and demand on the 
Community market; 
Whereas the abovementioned prices and the premium must 
be fixed for each variety produced in recognized production 
areas and for a reference quality defined in such a way that as 
objective an assessment as possible can be made of the quality 
of the tobacco;

No C 49/104 Official Journal of the European Communities 28. 2. 90 
Whereas, for the 1990 harvest, the recognized production 
areas for each variety of tobacco should be specified and the 
definitions of the reference qualities should be those laid 
down in Regulation (EEC) No 1252/89; 
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No . . . (*) provides that a new 
representative rate for tobacco is to apply from ... to the 
currencies of certain Member States; whereas that provision 
results, as from that date, in a reduction in terms of national 
currency of premiums fixed in ecus for a substantial part of 
the harvest in the Member States where the representative 
rate is revalued; whereas the whole harvest in a year should 
be treated in the same way in view of the characteristics of the 
sector; whereas that aim may be achieved if the old rate of 
exchange in the Member States concerned is made applicable 
to premiums paid for the 1989 harvest, Article 3 
1. For the 1990 harvest, the norm and intervention prices 
and the premiums granted to purchasers of leaf tobacco 
referred to in Articles 2 and 3 of Regulation (EEC) 
No 727/70 and the derived intervention prices for baled 
tobacco referred to in Article 6 of that Regulation shall be as 
set out in Annex IV hereto. 
2. Without prejudice to Article 7a of Regulation (EEC) 
No 727/70, the prices and the premiums shall apply only if 
the tobacco of each variety is grown in the corresponding 
production area as specified in Annex III hereto. 
3. For the 1991 harvest, the maximum guaranteed 
quantities of leaf tobacco referred to in Article 4 (5) of 
Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 shall be as set out in the 
second column of Annex V hereto.

recognized production areas for each of the varieties of

out in Annexes I and III hereto respectively. 
Article 2 Annex V to Regulation (EEC) No 1252/89 is hereby 
amended as set out in the first column of Annex V hereto.

Germany to the premiums applying to the 1989 tobacco 
harvest shall be the representative rate applying to the 
currency in question before

recognized production areas referred to in Article 6 (3) (b) 
and (c) of Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 for each of the

following its publication in the Official Journal of the 
European Communities.
