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, 
Whereas pursuant to Article 4(5) of Council Regulation 
(EEC) No 727/70 (*), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) 
No 2267/88 (2), there is fixed within an overall Community 
quantity a maximum guaranteed quantity for each of the 
tobacco varieties or groups of varieties grown in the 
Community, overshooting of which gives rise to a 
proportional reduction in prices and premiums; whereas 
these maximum guaranteed quantities are fixed every year,

therefore be fixed; 
Whereas, in view of the differences of quality in a variety 
depending on the characteristics of the soil and the climate, 
it may be necessary to subdivide those maximum 
guaranteed quantities by specific production areas; 
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 should therefore be 
amended, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1 
Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 is amended as follows. 
1. The first subparagraph of Article 4(5) shall read:

the socio-economic and agricultural situation in the 
areas concerned. The Council shall set the maximum 
guaranteed quantities for the 1990 harvest at the same 
time as for the 1989 harvest. The overall maximum

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.
