Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) 
on emergency action for the supply 
of certain agricultural products to Albania 
(presented by the Commission) 
EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 
A mission of Commission experts acting as coordinators of the G-24, an which 
visited Albania very recently, noticed the alarming economic situation of that 
country. In order to meet the minimum and urgent needs of the population, food 
aid must be sent there to counter the supply difficulties. 
For this reason the Commission proposes to the Council to adopt without delay 
a decision on the free supply of breadmaking wheat on the conditions set out 
below. 
The Commission calls upon the Council to adopt the text annexed to this 
communication so that the practical measures can be taken as quickly as 
possible.
