ensuring that industry has access to basic products at 
lower prices than would result from applying 
Community levies and common prices; 
Whereas the present arrangements regarding production 
refunds have proved inappropriate to developments in 
the starch sector; whereas it appears advisable to restrict 
production refunds to starch from cereals and potatoes 
intended for the manufacture of products covered by 
import arrangements which do not involve agricultural 
products subject to a common organization of the 
market; whereas Article 11 of Regulation (EEC) No 
2727/75 should be amended accordingly. 
Whereas, to minimize the problems created for those 
sectors of starch production which will not be eligible for 
the production refund under the new arrangements, it is 
necessary to allow a transitional period during which the 
present arrangements are progressively dismantled and 
the new arrangements progressively introduced; 
Whereas, in order to take account of the special situation 
of the potato starch industry, provision should be made 
for a procedure allowing the Community to take any 
measures considered necessary in this sector, Amended proposal for a Council Regulation amending Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 on the
