5.2 METHOD OFCALCULATION
Experience acquired during theapplication ofthe system oftheconventional .
price showed that theexporting countries concerned try toobserve theconven­
tional price inorder toavoid having topayallthe custums duties onimport .
Since 1976 theCommunity hasrefrained from applying this system inrespect of
certain Mediterranean countries .Renewal ofthe suspension ofthis system for
afurther year therefore involves nosignificant effect onreceipts from custom
duties .Imports offresh lemons originating inthese countries amounted to :
1977 -159.821 Τ 1978 -187.926 Τ
1978 -195.016 Τ 1980 -192.447 Τ
