Proposal for a Council Regulation amending Regulation (EEC) No 1469/70 fixing the 
percentages and quantities of tobacco taken over by the intervention agencies and the 
percentage of Community tobacco production above which the procedure laid down in 
Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 applies 
(84/C 62/34) 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN 
COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the Euro­
pean Economic Community, 
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 
727/70 of 21 April 1970 on the common organ­
ization of the market in raw tobacco ('), as last 
amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1461/82 (2), and 
in particular Article 13 (3) and (6) thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commis­
sion, 
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1469/70 (3), 
as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 
1536/81 (4), fixed the percentages and quantities of 
tobacco taken over by the intervention agencies and 
the percentage of Community production above 
which market management measures for tobacco are 
implemented; lation of the absolute quantities mentioned in 
Article 13 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 must 
be on the basis of a lower percentage, namely 10 %, 
of the average of the three reference harvests; wher­
eas in the case of the varieties with the serial num­
bers 3 (Virgin D), 11 (a) (Forchheimer Havanna II 
C), 11 (b) (Nostrano del Brenta), 11 (c) (Resistente 
142) and 11 (d) (Gojano), the absolute quantities 
must, because of the increase in production over the 
last few years, be maintained at their present level; 
Whereas the percentage of Community production 
above which the market management measures are 
implemented was fixed at 120 %; whereas in view of 
the overall production level and the outlets foresee­
able this percentage should now be reduced to 
115%; whereas it appears that at 15 % increase in 
production is large enough to allow for the effect of 
weather conditions on the quantities produced, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Whereas the percentages and quantities applying to 
each variety of tobacco taken over by the interven­
tion agencies were fixed on the basis of average 
production for the 1978, 1979 and 1980 harvests; 
whereas, since then the production of certain 
varieties has changed in response to market require­
ments; whereas when prices and premiums were 
fixed for the 1983 harvest the Elassona variety was 
given the serial number 19 (b) because of its great 
similarity to Kaba Koulak classic; 
Whereas these percentages and quantities were 
determined using varying criteria; whereas, in order 
to achieve better market management and prevent 
the creation of large stocks, the percentage beyond 
which an adjustment of production to demand is to 
be sought should be restricted to 15 % of the average 
of the 1981, 1982 and 1983 harvests; whereas, on the 
other hand, in order to permit more rapid imple­
mentation of the co-responsibility measures that are 
liable to be taken to cope with excess supply, calcu-

Proposal for a Council Regulation laying down special measures for certain varieties of 
raw tobacco in respect of the 1984, 1985 and 1986 crops 
(84/C 62/35) 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN 
COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the Euro­
pean Economic Community, 
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) 
No 727/70 of 21 April 1970 on the common organ­
ization of the market in raw tobacco ('), as last 
amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1461/82 (2), and 
in particular the second subparagraph of 
Article 13 (8) thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commis­
sion, 
Whereas it appears from the report of the Commis­
sion provided for in Article 13 (1) of Regulation 
(EEC) No 727/70 that the quantities of tobacco of 
the Tsebelia and Mavra varieties from the 1982 crop 
bought in by the intervention agencies are greater 
than the quantities fixed by Regulation (EEC) 
No 1469/70 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1536/81 (4), as the threshold for activat­
ing the procedures provided for in Article 13 of 
Regulation (EEC) No 727/70; 
Whereas the quantities fixed have been exceeded 
only in the case of the 1982 crop, and whereas the 
figures for the 1983 crop, more particularly those 
relating to areas under tobacco, do not indicate that 
the quantities delivered into intervention from the 
1983 crop will be less than those delivered from the 
1982 crop; 
Whereas, as regards these varieties, the quantities of 
the 1982 crop bought in by the intervention agencies 
are less than the percentage fixed by Regulation 
(EEC) No 1469/70; whereas; however, the measures 
provided for in Article 13 of Regulation (EEC) 
No 727/70 may be activated when only the said 
quantities are found to have been or are in danger of 
being exceeded, in order to facilitate control over 
the market before excessively large intervention 
stocks are formed; 
Whereas, in these circumstances, appropriate mea­
sures should be taken immediately to prevent the 
situation experienced in 1982 from recurring as 
regards the 1984 crop;
