 ---pagebreak---                           EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Purpose : - Proposal for a Council Regulation amending Regulation (EEC )
              Ho 2511/69 laying down special measures for improving the
              production and marketing of citrus fruit
          - Proposal for a Council Regulation amending Regulation (EEC )
              No 26C1/69 laying down special measures to encourage the
              processing of certain varieties of orange
       In 1969 * the Council adopted two Regulations to remedy the situation
in Community citrus fruit production which was experiencing serious diffi­
culties in the disposal of oranges and mandarins owing to the nature of
the varieties produced and to trading conditions on Community markets .
       The measures provided for included the granting of aids for the
following three kinds of activity s                       ' ■
- the conversion of orchards and the reorganization of marketing infra­
  structure ,
- measures designed to promote and ensure a supply of Community oranges
  and mandarins on Community import markets ,
- encouraging the processing of varieties of " orange whose characteristics
  render them less suitable for other uses .
        In all these cases entitlement to the aid was for a limited period .
        It is apparent that the basic and most important activity of
converting orchards cannot' be completed by 31 December 1976 , as was laid
down in Regulation (EEC ) No 2511/69 .
                                                                  •/.

             It - is therefore proposed that the time limit for conversion
„ originally set in Regulation (EEC ) NO 2511/69 should "be postponed for two
  years , and that no further mention should be made , as regards the other
  kinds of activities provided for in Regulation , (EEC ) NO 2511/69 and (EEC )
  No 2601/69 , of dates from whioh aids will be reduced or withdrawn .
             On the other hand , it is proposed that the Council should , before ~
  the end of 1978 , decide whether the system introduced by the two Regulations
  as amended , should be amended or abolished.

             ' The extension by two years of the period provided for in Article
      1 of Regulation (EEC ) No 25H/69 involves no amendment to previous
      financial estimates .
  b ) EAGGF Guarantee Section
            , Owing to the extension of the measures provided for in Article
      6 of Regulation (EEC ) No 2511/69 and in Article 1 of Regulation (EEC )
      No 2601 /69 , the present proposals have some financial effect on the
      Guarantee Section of the EAGGF .
               For the measures in question , an amount of three million units
      of account has been shown as item 6811 of Article 68l of the 1972
      Budget of the European Communities ! this same figure is. shown in the . >

                           For the coming marketing years it is possible to forencast a
      certain stabilization in the quantities to which these measures apply . EScpendi-
      ture relating thereto will therefore be somewhere between            three and four mil­
      lion units of account     per marketing year .

amending Regulation (EEC ) No 2511/69 laying down special measures for im­
     proving -the production and marketing of Community citrus fruit
                      THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES , '
                      Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
                      Economic Community , and in particular Article 43 thereof j
                      Having regard to the proposal from the Commission*
                      Having regard to the Opinion of the European Parliament ?
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC) No 2511/69^^ of 9 December 1969 laying
down special measures for improving the production and marketing of Community
citrus fruit laid down a series of medium- and short-term measures to over­
come serious difficulties in the disposal of Community production in oranges
and mandarins 5
Whereas a study of the plans drawn, up by the Member States concerned pursuant
to Article 2 of Regulation (EEC ) No 2511/69 shows that the measures designed
in particular to adapt varieties to production cannot be completed by 31 Decem­
ber 1976j whereas the period for adopting such measures should therefore be
extended ?
Whereas it is therefore necessary to extend the period in which it is possible
to adopt the measures provided for in Article 6 of Regulation (EEC ) No 2511/69
designed to promote and ensure a supply of Community oranges and mandarins
on the import markets of the* Community , while still maintaining the financial
compensation granted by the Member States at its initial amount ;
