           This year 1 s drought has lea , through a reduced offer of fresh beans
to the processing industries , to a significant reduction in production of the
tinned product . This situation could create supply problems and lead to high
prices for consumers .
           In these conditions the Council has agreed to a reduction of the customs
duty from 24 to 16 $ until 31 December 1976 .
           The draft regulation has been elaborated by virtue of the Council
décision .

temporarily and partially suspending the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties
 on preserved beans in pod
                               THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEA.il COMMUNITIES ,
                               Having regard to the Treaty establishing the
                               European Economic Community , and in particular
                               Article 103 thereof ,
                               Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
Whereas the drought during 1976 and the consequent reduction in the supply of
beans in pod to the processing industry have led to a considerable decline in
the production of preserves of this product ; whereas this situation endangers
the supply of these preserves in the Community ; whereas in view of the risk
of the increase in the cost of living to which this situation may give rise , the
autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties on the preserves in question should be
partially suspended fir a limited period ;
Whereas the suddenness of the situation with which the Community is confronted ,
the urgency of the measures to be taken and their temporary nature and the
absence of any provisions in the rules on the common organization of the market
in processed fruit and vegetables for dealing with such a situation with the
necessary speed may be taken to justify recourse to Article 103 of the Treaty
as an exceptional measure , subject to its later integration into the common
agricultural policy ,
                                                                        /-
