1 . Under Article 55(2 ) of the Act concerning the Conditions of Accession and the
    Adjustments to the Treaties , the " accession" compensatory amounts for these
    products for which derived intervention prioes are fixed in the New Member States
    are to equal the difference between the prices fixed for the new Member State
    concerned and the common prices .     As regards cereals , these previsions apply to
    common wheat and barley for which intervention prices are fixed in all the new
    Member States .
    The marketing centres and the prices applicable therein for the 1975/76 marketing
    year have been given in Regulation (EEC ) N° 1171/75         the draft Regulation
    establishing certain marketing centres for cereals and the derived intervention
    prices applicable therein for the 1975/76 season. Among these centres are those
    where the prices have served as a basis for the calculation of the "accession"
    compensatory amounts .                                                „
    In accordance with the rules laid down in Article 52(2 ), ( a ) of the Act , these -
    prices should be aligned with the level of common prices for the marketing year
    1975/76 .  In accordance with Article 55(2 ) of the Act the difference between
    these prices and the common prices equals the " accession" compensatory amount
    which is applicable for common wheat and barley during the marketing year 1975/76 .
2 . In respect of these cereals for which no intervention prices have been fixed in
    the new Member States , the rules for the calculation and alignment of compensa­
    tory amounts , were , pursuant to the Act of Accession , laid down by council Regu­
    lation ( EEC ) N° 229/73(2 ) whereby the compensatory amounts for these products
    are to be calculated by applying coefficients to the compensatory amounts that
    are valid for the reference cereal .      These coefficients were determined on the
    basis of prices or prices ratios in the new Member States .      Accordingly, Article
    2(2 ) of the said Regulation provides for a progressive adjustment of these coef­
    ficients in accordance with the timetable laid- down in Article 52(2 ) of the Act
    (6 stages ), alignment , that is , with the existing ratie between Community thres­
    hold prices .   The application of a coefficient to the compensatory amount which
    is fixed for the reference cereal , taking into account the variations in common
    prices , and the progressive alignment of the coefficients with the threshold price
    ratie for the new marketing year , constitute rules which enable the seoond stage
    of alignment to be achieved .
                                                                                        /

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ;
Having .regard to the Treaty ( l ) concerning the accession of new Member States to
the European Economic Community and the European Atomic           Energy Community, signed
on 22 January 1972 , and in particular Article 62 ( l ) of the Act annexed thereto ;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ;
Whereas the compensatory amounts which are applicable until 31 July 1975               common
wheat and barley were fixed by Article 1 of Council Regulation ( EEC ) Ef° 229/73 ( 2 )
of 31 January 1973 laying down general rules for the system of compensatory amounts
for cereals and determining these for certain products , as last amended by Regulation
 ( EEC ) IT 0 2518/74 ( 3 ); whereas , in accordance with Article 55 ( 2 ) of the Act of Acces­
sion, these amounts correspond to the difference between prices established in the
new Member State concerned arid the common prices ;
Whereas , in accordance with Article 52 of the Act of Accession , the prices established
in the new Member States must be aligned with the level of the common prices in six
stages ; whereas , for the marketing year 1975/76 , the result of this alignment is the
prices for common wheat and barley that are dealt frith both in Council Regulation
( EEC ) N° 1171/75 (4 ) of 28 April 1975 determining for the 1975/76 marketing year, the
single intervention prices for barley, rye , durum wheat and maize , the principal mar­
keting centres for common wheat , and the derived intervention prices applicable at
those centres , and Commission Regulation ( EEC ) N°                   ( 5 ) of
determining for the 1975/7 6 marketing year , certa.in marketing centres for cereals
and the derived intervention prices applicable therein for the 1975/76 season;
whereas in accordance with Article 55 ( 2 ) of the Act of Accession, the difference
between these prices and the common prices constitutes the accession compensatory
amount that is valid for the new marketing year ;
