THE JOINT COMMITTEE,

hereinafter referred to as ‘the Agreement’, as amended by the

For
Agreement,
Contracting Parties by the Joint Committee.

Actual prices have changed on the domestic markets of
the Contracting Parties as regards raw materials for which
price compensation measures are applied.

The domestic reference prices of all raw materials were
fixed by the Joint Committee at the end of 2006. The
domestic reference prices should periodically, at
least
once a year, be reviewed.

(4)

(5)

As the market for cereals seemed to be really volatile by
the end of 2006 a review in May was foreseen.

As the review of the cereal prices resulted in substantially
different figures it is necessary to update the reference
to
prices and amounts listed in tables III and IV(b)
Protocol No 2 accordingly,

HAS ADOPTED THIS DECISION:

Article 1

Table III and the table IV under b of Protocol No 2 are replaced
by the tables in Annex I and Annex II to this Decision.

This decision shall apply as of 1 August 2007.
