Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No . . . 
of. . . 
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

(90/C 49/66) 
THE COUNCIL OF EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community, 
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 of 
21 April 1970 on the common organization of the market in 
raw tobacco (*), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) 
No . . . (2), and in particular Article 13 (3) and (6) 
thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1469/70 (3), as last 
amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2269/88 (4), fixes the 
percentages and quantities of tobacco taken over by the 
intervention agencies and the percentage of Community 
tobacco production in respect of which it has been decided to 
grant a premium and above which the instruments for 
managing the tobacco market laid down in Article 13 of 
Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 apply; 
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No . . . (s) provides 
in particular for the variety Hybrids of Badischer 
Geudertheimer, currently classified under serial No 1 
(Badischer Geudertheimer and hybrids thereof), to be 
transferred to serial number 11 ((a) Forchheimer 
Havana II c), (b) Nostrano del Brenta, (c) Resistente 142 and 
(d) Gojano); whereas, as a consequence of that transfer, the 
percentages and quantities for those varieties should be 
adapted; Whereas the percentage of Community production in respect 
of which it has been decided to grant a premium and above 
which the instruments for managing the tobacco market 
apply has been fixed at 115 %; whereas, in view of the overall 
level of production and foreseeable outlets, that percentage 
should henceforward be reduced to 110%; whereas an 
increase of 10 % in production takes sufficient account of the 
impact of climatic variations on production, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Regulation (EEC) No 1469/70 is hereby amended as 
follows: 
1. Article 2 is replaced by the following: 
'Article 2 
The percentage referred to in Article 13 (5) of Regulation 
(EEC) No 727/70 is hereby fixed at 110%.' 
2. The Annex is amended as set out in the Annex hereto as 
regards the varieties in serial numbers 1 and 11. 
Article 2 
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day 
following its publication in the Official Journal of the 
European Communities. 
It shall apply from the 1990 harvest. 
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member 
States.
