                               EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
 At its meeting of 17 July 1989 , the Council exchanged views on the situation
 in Poland and Hungary , in particular in the light of the deliberations at the
Western Economic Summit of the Seven in Paris from 14 to 16 July 1989 .
The Council took the opportunity of approving the guidelines contemplated by
 the Commission in the framework of international cooperation in line with the
Summit 's wishes as regards food supply , trade and economic and technical
cooperation .
In the immediate future , the Council , aware of the urgent need for supplies of
foodstuffs to Poland , noted the Commission 's intention to refer to it without
delay a proposal for a Regulation enabling Community intervention stocks to be
used to that end and to submit the proposal forthwith to the Council
(Agriculture ) .
As regards  food supplies , when outlining the problem to the Council , the
Commission  made a distinction between a specific emergency measure to supply
foodstuffs  and the structural , medium-term need to improve the agri-foodstuffs
base , more particularly as regards Poland .
This proposal for a Regulation enables the need for a specific emergency
measure and a medium-term approach using intervention stocks available to be
addressed at the same time .   As agreed at the last Council ( General Affairs ),
the Commission intends deciding as soon as possible on an initial emergency
supply of foodstuffs . It will begin implementing subsequent measures after
the concerted action provided for at the Paris Summit . The measures as a
whole referred to in this paragraph will involve setting up funds the detailed
rules for which will be agreed between the parties concerned , with a view to
the implementation of an economic restructuring programme .
