Article 63 0 ) of the Act of Accession provides that the tine linit for
transitional measures to facilitate the passage from existing arrangements
in the new Member States to those resulting from the application of the
Common Organization of the Markets shall not extend beyond 31 January 1974 *
In general , the Member States were able to apply the common organization of
the markets within the time limit .     However , in some market sectors ,
difficulties have arisen in a few cases which may necessitate a transitional
period expiring later than 31 January 1974 *
These cases concern problems of technical adaptation, in the cereals sector
as regards the manufacturing process fron maize eligible for a production
refund ;   in the milk sector as regards the dairy processing of skimmed milk
fow xirhich an aid is to be granted ;  in the hops sector the payment through
producer groups of aids to be used for changing to different varieties of
hops and for the re-organisation of hop gardens , and possibly in the sugar
sector in connection with the manufacturing of products used in tho chemical
industry eligible for a production refund to be granted for white sugar .
In order to make it possible for extended time limits to be adopted in these
cases , the Council is requested to extend the time linit for the operation
of Article 63 ( 1 ) of the Act to 31 January 1975 in accordance with the
procedure referred to in Article 63 ( 2 ) of tho Act .
IFo additional expenditures will arise in the E.A.G.G.F. from the extension
of the time limit nor from the extension of the special measures foreseen
in this note .
