1 . Council Regulation (EEC ) No 1169/77 of 17 May 1977 ( OJ No L
137 of 3.6.1970 , P * 4 ) fixed , in respect of the 1977 harvest , the norm
and intervention prices , the premiums granted to purchasers of leaf
tobacco , and the derived intervention prices for baled tobacco . Under
Article 3 of that Regulation , the exchange rates to be applied in
Germany and the Benelux countries for the purposes of the premiums for
the 1976 tobacco crop are , until 31 December 1977 » to be the
representative rates applicable to the currencies in question prior to
1 May 1977 .
The Article in question was adopted to ensure that the same premium was
granted in respect of the entire crop of one year , the premium for
tobacco being fixed in respect of one crop and not in respect of a given
period .
It seems appropriate to choose the 31 March 1978 as the new final date ,
since the entire 1976 crop can be expected to be disposed of within that
period .
2 . It has not been possible for the Member States concerned to dispose
fully of the 1976 crop before 31 December 1977 * It is therefore necessary
that in the Member States concerned the exchange rates in force for the
purposes of the premiums for the 1976 tobacco crop should continue to
apply .
