discussedintheManagementCommitteeforTobaccoon26.4.1976,wasbased.
/

Inthis respect itshould ,beemphasized that thecommon rules were all
based ondata relating to1967 -1969 andthat consequently that period
cannot beignored intheassessment andthestrict application ofapro­
vision ofthe rules .
Inthis analysis ,twoother factors maybementioned ,i.e. :
-compared with 1973 »there wasin1974 areduction both inareas
planted andinproduction ;
-themarketing ofthe1973 harvest wasvery satisfactory (intervention
wasapplied toonly around 2$oftotal production ,i.e. much less than
forthepreceding harvests ).
Lastly ,thestatement entered intheCouncil minutes concerning Article 13(6)
ofRegulation (EDO)No727/70should bementioned :
"TheCouncil understands this paragraph tomean that where itisnoted that
theincrease inproduction iscaused mainly byanincrease inthearea planted ,
thecorrective measures referred tointhis paragraph should inallcases be
taken ".

Analysis ofthesituation ofthetobacco market in1973 leads ,therefore ,
totheconclusion that the increase inproduction isnot duemainly tothe
increase inthearea planted ,that thesituation recovered in1974 and that ,
infact ,theexcess over the20$£threshold wasonly very slight (.3$)•
That being so,theCommission does notconsider that itshould propose to
theCouncil special measures forapplying Artivie13(6)ofRegulation (EEC)
No727/70.
However ,theCommission once again (l)draws theattention oftheCouncil to
thenecessity ,given thetrend ofproduction andconsumption ofrawtobacco
both atCommunity andworld level ,tofollow acautious price policy inthis
sector and toimprove itsdifferentiation ofsupport between thedifferent
varieties inorder tosteer production increasingly towards varieties in
greatest demand .
