Having regard totheTreaty establishing theEuropean Economic Community ,

Having regard totheTreaty ,concerning theaccession ofnewMember States
totheEuropean Economic Community andtotheEuropean Atomic Energy
Community ^,signed atBrussels on22January 1972 ,andinparticular
Article 54(4 )oftheAct annexed thereto ;
Having regard totheproposal from theCommission }
Having regard totheOpinion oftheEuropean Parliament ;
Whereas since theCouncil 'sdecisions onthecommon prices forthe1974/75
marketing year were taken inMarch 1974 events have occurred with serious
economic implications foragriculture ;whereas ,ontheonehand ,this sector
wasfaced with asudden unprecedented increase intheprices ofcertain
important inputs ;whereas this sharp rise inproduction costs isworsening
theeffect ofoverall inflation onagriculture ;whereas ,ontheother hand ,
farmers were notable toincrease market prices soastocover therise in
production costs ;whereas forcattle andpigbreeders there haseven been
amarked fall inmarket prices ;whereas forother products such ascommon wheat ,
feed grains andsugar agricultural producers were notable totake advantage
cfthevery high prices ontheworld market because theCommunity ,motivated
bytheconcern toensure thestability oftheinternal markets andtoguarantee
adequate supplies ,considered itundesirable toallow thehigh prices for
these products ontheworld market tobereflected inthelevel ofprices within
theCommunity ;
Whereas this situation hasgiven rise toserious difficulties throughout
agriculture both byreason ofitsimmediate effect onfarmers' incomes and

because oftheunfavourable outlook forthenear future ;whereas inthe
current economic situation farmers arenolonger able topass oninmarket
prices theconsiderable rise inproduction oosts ;whereas this situation calls
forexceptional measures inthefield ofpricing policy ;
Whereas itappears appropriate toraise agricultural prices by4%allround
with effect from theI974/75marketing year orfortheremainder ofthat
year ;whereas itisnecessary ,however ,tobeable totake into account
thespecial situation ofcertain products ;whereas milk intheUnited Kingdom
raises aparticular problem byreason ofArticle 4ofCouncil Regulation (EEC)
^°*749/73 of19March 1973onproduction subsidies which theUnited
Kingdom isauthorized toretain inrespect ofcertain agricultural products ;
whereas thisprovision would prevent thedesired increase inprices from
benefiting produoers :
