Prices mthethree newMember States arestill lower than theCommunity
prices .Thedifference "between prices inthenewMember States and
Community prices isreflected foreach marketing year bythe "accession "
compensatory amounts .Thecarry-over payment will therefore have tobe
adjusted inthose States bydeduction ofthedifference between the
"accession "compensatory amount applicable forthe1972/73marketing
year andthat applicable in1973/74*Where this deduction gives a
negative figure ,thecarry –over payment will beequal tozero inthenew

European Economic Community andtotheEuropean Atomic Energy Community ,signed
atBrussels on22January 19T2tandinparticular Article 9(0and .(5)thereof }
Having regard totheproposal from theCommission ;
Whereas thecarry-over payment provided forinArticle 9(1)ofRegulation
No120/67/EECisdesigned ,inparticular ,toavoid excessive offers ofcereals
tointervention agencies when themonthly increases inintervention prices
come toanend ,when alarge proportion ofthestocks ofcereals could besold
directly onthemarket before thenewharvest ;whereas thecarry-over payment
provided forinArticle 9ofthesaid Regulation should begranted forcommon
wheat ,barley andryeofbreadmaking quality since there arelarge stocks of
thefirst twocereals throughout theCommunity andofthethird cereal in
certain regions ;
Whereas ,despite the .genera' ,shortage ofmaize intheCommunity ,certain
quantities ofthat cereal arelikely tobeoffered forintervention in
particular regions ;whereas acarry-over payment should therefore befixed for
maize ;whereas themarketing ofagiven harvest normally extends beyond the
