1 . Council Regulation (EEC ) No 1132/ 74 , Article 7 , paragraph 1 provides that
     if the prices on the world market of maize , common wheat or broken rice
     show appreciable and persistent variations in relation to the amounts spe­
     cified in Articles 1 , 4 and. 5 of that Regulation the Council may alter these
     amounts .
2.   Prices of these basic products on the world market have remained at high
     levels for some considerable time and are likely to remain so . So that the
     maintenance of the amounts specified in Articles 1 , 4 and. 5 at their present
     levels does not lead to the granting of a restitution which is no longer
     economically justified and the financial burden of which does not become
     excessive , it is proposed to introduce the following amounts as from 1
     December 1974'
                                  Maize :  10.09 ua per 100 kg
                          Common wheat :   10.09 ua per 100 kg
                           Broken rice :   12.74 ua per 100 kg
3*   In order to preserve the balanced relationship between cereals starch and
     potato starch , it is proposed to reduce the production refund paid to the
     manufacture res of potato starch . This leads to an amount of 13.16 units of
     account being introduced in Artiole 3 , paragraph 1 .
Financial Conseruences                                  J
This draft Council Regulation provides for a reduction in the starch production
refund of slightly loss than 50$* Based on the regulation at present in force ,
expenditure for 1975 has been estimated at 160 Mio U.C , The proposed reduction will
lead at first sight to a saving in expenses of 80 Mio U.C. Taking account of the 90
day period for being under suspension and also the delay in payment , the reduction
in FEOGA expenses will be about 50-60 Mio U.C. ( on the basis that the cut applies
equally to potatoes in the 1975/76 marketing year). This reduction in expenditure
 falls under heading 6011 , Chapter 60 of the 1975 Budget of the European Communities .

the prices of common wheat , maize or broken rice show appreciable and persis­
tent variations on the world markets in relation to the amounts specified in
Articles 1 , 4 and 5 of that Regulation , the latter may be altered ; whereas
world market prices for these products have become very high and are likely
to remain so ; whereas the maintenance of the amounts specified in Articles 1 ,
4 and 5 a"t their present levels could lead to the granting of a production
refund the size of which is no longer economically justified and the financial
burden of which oould become excessive ; whereas these amounts should therefore
be altered ;
