7a(2) thereof,

appropriate, by the scale of price increases and

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 1988 harvest. However, Article 1(2) 
and (3) shall apply from 1 January 1989. 
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly 
applicable in all Member States. 
Agricultural Policy and of the contribution which the 
Community desires to make to the harmonious develop­
ment of world trade; whereas the objectives of the 
Common Agricultural Policy are, in particular, to ensure a 
fair standard of living for the agricultural community, to 
assure the availability of supplies and to ensure that 
supplies reach consumers at reasonable prices; 
Whereas the norm and intervention prices for leaf tobacco 
must be fixed in accordance with the criteria laid down in 
Article 2(2) of Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 in order, in 
particular, to encourage producers to convert to the 
cultivation of those varieties which are most competitive, 
most in demand and least harmful to health; 
Whereas it is again desirable to fix, in respect of the 1988 
harvest, derived intervention prices both for the varieties 
which, before the market organization came into force or, 
in the case of varieties grown in Greece, Spain and Portugal, 
prior to accession, qualified for a price guarantee at the Proposal for a Council Regulation (EEC) fixing for the 1988 harvest the norm and intervention 
prices and the premiums granted to purchasers of leaf tobacco, the derived intervention prices for 
baled tobacco, the reference qualities, the production areas, the maximum guaranteed quantities 
and the varieties excluded from the application of Article 7a of Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 and

baled tobacco stage and for the varieties which are mainly 
grown in the Federal Republic of Germany, in order to take 
account of marketing practices in that country; 
Whereas Article 4(5) of Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 
provides for the fixing of a maximum guaranteed quantity, 
within an overall quantity for the Community, in 
accordance with the criteria laid down in that Article for 
each of the varieties or groups of varieties of tobacco in 
Community production, any exceeding of which leads to a 
proportional reduction in the norm and intervention prices 
and the premiums; whereas those maximum guaranteed 
quantities should be fixed; whereas, however, the 
quantities thus fixed and the allocation by group of 
varieties may be re-examined at the next harvest in the light 
of experience and of the conversion programmes; whereas 
the provisions thus laid down therefore apply for the 1988 
harvest only; 
Whereas the premium granted to purchasers of Com­
munity tobacco is intended to enable them to pay producers 
of leaf tobacco a price which is at the level of the norm 
price, account being taken of the trend in world market 
prices and the level of prices established by the interaction 
of supply and demand on the Community market; 
Whereas the abovementioned prices and the amount of the 
premium must be fixed for each variety produced in 
recognized production areas and for a reference quality 
defined in such a way that as objective an assessment as 
possible can be made of the quality of the tobacco; 
Whereas, for the 1988 harvest, the recognized production 
areas for each variety of tobacco should be specified and 
the definitions of the reference qualities should be those 
laid down in Council Regulation (EEC) No 1975/87 of 2 
July 1987 fixing, for the 1987 harvest, the norm and 
intervention prices and the premiums granted to purchasers 
of leaf tobacco, the reference qualities and the production 
areas and amending Regulation (EEC) No 1577/86 (*); 
Whereas, pursuant to Article 7a(l) of Regulation (EEC) 
No 727/70, the prices and premiums apply only to tobacco 
varieties harvested in communes where such varieties have 
been grown traditionally; whereas Article 7a(2) provides 
for the possibility of excluding certain varieties from the 
scope of that measure with a view to varietal conversion; 
whereas those excluded varieties should accordingly be 
determined; Whereas one production area was omitted from the 
recognized areas listed in Annex III to Council Regulation 
(EEC) No 1975/87; whereas, in order to enable tobacco 
producers in that area to qualify for the measures provided 
for in that Regulation, the Annex in question should be 
amended; 
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 1890/87 (2) pro­
vides that for the tobacco sector, from 1 April 1988 a new 
representative rate is to apply for the currencies of certain 
Member States; whereas from that date that provision will 
lead to a reduction in national currency of the premiums 
fixed in ECU for a substantial part of the harvest in the 
Member States the representative rate of which is revalued; 
whereas the entire harvest for a year should be treated in 
the same way in view of the characteristics of the sector; 
whereas that aim may be achieved if the old exchange rate 
in the Member States concerned is made applicable to the 
premiums paid for the 1987 harvest,
