                               EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
                 Following the entry into force of -the new agreements bet­
ween the European Economic Community and certain Mediterranean countries
( Israel , Algeria , Tunisia , Morocco , Egypt , Lebanon , Syria and Jordan ),
observance of the " agreed " price on the Community market is no longer re
quired for application of the tariff concessions upon importation into
the Community of fresh oranges , mandarins ( including tangerines and sat-
sumas ), Clementines , wilkings and other similar citrus hybrids origina­
ting in those countries .
                 For Spain and Cyprus , pending expansion of the agreement
at present in force , special measures are being made with effect from
1 July 1977 to 31 December 1977 . Among these measures , in order to en­
sure the same conditions for the importation of the above products into
the Community from the Mediterranean countries , the Commission considers
that application of the provisions requiring observance of the " agreed "
price must be suspended with regard to Spain and to Cyprus too .
                 The Commission , therefore recommends that the Council
adopt this proposal for a regulation suspending the said provisions .

  COMMENTS T
                 It is unlikely that this measure will incite imports of citrus and
                 affect the internal market situation for the products in question .
