The market situation in the ware potato sector remains difficult .
In the last few days , the Rotterdam market has experienced a price rise
for the variety Bintje + 50 mm from 30 fl/lOO kg ( 23,84 UA) to 88 fl/lOO kg
( 26,22 UA ).
The market for new potatoes (Munich ) has "begun with high price levels :
152 DM/lOO kg ( 47,21 UA ) for the Syracusan variety SPUNTA.
Imports from Mediterranean states ( especially Morocco and Spain ) are at
the same level as the Italian prices .
In response to this situation , the Commission proposes to prolong the
suspension x>f the Common Customs Tariff duties until the 30th June 1976
for ware potatoes ( sub-heading 07.01 A III b of the CCT) and until the
25th April 1976 for new potatoes ( sub-heading 07 . 01 A II a of the CCT ).
