5.2 METHOD OFCALCULATION
Experience acquired during theapplication ofthesystem oftheconventional price
showed that theexporting countries concerned try toobserve theconventional
prioe inorder toavoid having topay allthecustoms duties onimport# Since
1976 theCommunity hasrefrained from applying this system inrespect ofcertain
Mediterranean countries .Renewal ofthesuspension ofthis system forafurther
year therefore involves nosignificant effeot onreceipts fron oustoms duties
