Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and 
Social Committee, 
Whereas the markets and prices policy, based on 
modern farms, is the main instrument of the 
incomes policy in agriculture; whereas full advan­
tage cannot be drawn from such a policy unless it is 
integrated into the common agricultural policy as a 
whole, including a dynamic social and structural 
policy and the application to the rules on competi­
tion contained in the Treaty; 
Whereas the intervention price for paddy rice must 
be fixed at a rate which takes simultaneous account 
of the policy in respect of rice production and the 
use of rice and of improved farm incomes;
