characteristics of the soil and the climate, the Council 
may decide that the maximum guaranteed quantity for a 
variety be fixed for specific production areas.' 
Article 2 
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day 
following its publication in the Official Journal of the 
European Communities. 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social 
Committee, 
Whereas, when fixing the prices of raw tobacco, account 
should be taken both of the objectives of the common 
agricultural policy and of the contribution which the 
Community desires to make to the harmonious develop­
ment of world trade; whereas the objectives of the common 
agricultural policy are, in particular, to ensure the 
availability of supplies and to ensure that supplies 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, in 
particular, to encourage producers to convert to the 
cultivation of those varieties which are most competitive, 
most in demand and least harmful to health; This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas it is again desirable to fix, in respect of the 1989 
harvest, derived intervention prices 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 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 
stipulates the fixing each year, for the following year's 
harvest and within an overall quantity for the Community, 
and in line with the criteria specified in that Article, of a 
maximum guaranteed quantity for each tobacco variety or 
group of varieties grown in the Community overshooting 
of which leads to a proportional reduction in the norm and 
intervention prices and in the premiums; whereas however 
these maximum guaranteed quantities must also be fixed 
for the harvest in progress; whereas they must therefore be 
set for both the 1989 and 1990 harvests; 
Whereas, when the provisions on the production quantity 
control arrangements are applied, account should be taken 
of the differences in quality depending on the charac­
teristics of the soil and the climate; whereas those 
conditions are met for the Badischer Geudertheimer variety 
and hybrids thereof; whereas maximum guaranteed 
quantities should consequently be fixed for specific 
production areas for that variety; 
Whereas the premium granted to purchasers of Com­
munity tobacco is intended to enable them to pay producers 
of leaf tobacco a price which is at the level of the norm 
price, account being taken of the trend in world prices and 
the level of prices established by the interaction of supply 
and demand on the Community market; 
Whereas the abovementioned prices and the amount of 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; 
Whereas, for the 1989 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 Council Regulation (EEC) No 2268/88 (J); 
Whereas four production areas were omitted from the 
recognized areas listed in Annex III to Council Regulations 
(EEC) No 1577/86 (2), (EEC) No 1975/87 (3) and No 2268/

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
