1 . Pursuant to Regulation (ESC ) Ho 191/ 75 of 21 January 1975 the Council
    has provided for the subsidized imports of an quantity of 200.000 tonnes
    of sugar in addition to the 200.000 tonnes already provided for by
    Régulation (ESC) HO 2931/74 .
    When the former Regulation was adopted the Council, permitted further
    100,000 tonnes to be imported later in accordance with the rules of
    application to "be determined .
2 . Despite the interruption of the invitations to tender during one week in
    order to revise the different systems , the invitation to tender has attributed
    on 12. Marclj 1975 out of the 200.000 tonnes a total quantity of 112.800
    tonnes which is distributed as follows :
    - Italy      : 56.800
    - United Kingdom : 13 » 900
    - Belgium î -
    - The Netherlands : 9«5°0
                                                                        m
    - Ireland : -
    - Germany : 32.620
    - France : -
    The weighted average of the granted subsidy for these quantities amounts
    to 24,295 "units of account per 100 kilograns . Maintaining this rhythm the
    additional quantity will certainly be entirely attributed by the partial
    invitations to tender envisaged for 18 and 26 March .
3 . The situation of the regions with the largest deficits is extremely
    critioal at this time of the year . The needs to meet the envisaged
    deficit in the deficit regions can be estimated as follows in respect
    of the 60 days following 12 March :
     - Italy              157.000 tonnes
     - United Kingdom 67 . 000 tonnes
     - The Metherlands 7 » 000 tonnes .
     By virtue of these conditions and the experience gained the Commission
     proposes that the remaining 100.000 tonnes should be added to fill up
     the additional quantity of 300.000 tonnes without modifying the import
     conditions .

4 » In respect of the financial consequences the Commission proposal
    stated in the Document COM ( 75 ) 9 final of 10 January 1975 concerned
    an additional 'quantity of 300.000 tonnes . The Council preferred to
    divide the quantity into two parts : 200.000 tonnes to "be imported
    at once and 100.000 tonnes to be decided upon later .
    From a Commission point of view the total costs of the quantities
    in question will not , according to the possible predictions , exceed
    the estimations laid down in the document mentioned above .
