 ---pagebreak---                            Statement of reasons
       On 25 March 197^- an agreement was signed between Somalia and the
EEC for the supply CIF of 7 000 metric tons of cereals under the
1972/73 programme and for the sale of these products on the local
market . The embarkation of these quantities must take place during
November 197^.
      On the 5 November 197^, the Republic of Somalia appealed to the
Commission to help combat the worsening of the food situation which
endangers ^ certain categories of population . In order to answer this
appeal as effectively as possible , it seems the best solution would be
to change the aid originally planned into emergency aid which would be
distributed free to the populations in question . The Ambassador of
Somalia has agreed to this solution .
      In this proposal , the Commission submits to the Council the
changes to be made to the above mentioned agreement in order to be able
to distribute free to the afflicted populations the products received
as aid .
