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.
