                                          *
At the beginning of the 1977 / 78 cereals marketing year the Council introduced
a reference price for common wheat of bread-making quality, i.e. - the price at
which the intervention agencies may buy this product on the Community market .
Where food aid is granted in the form of common wheat of bread-making quality
from public stocks the intervention agencies should supply it at the same price ,
adjusted by reference to the month of removal and , where appropriate, the place
of storage .
The aim of this draft Regulation is to' amend Article 7 of Council Regulation ( EEC )
No 1703 /72, which lays down the price at which intervention agencies are to
supply goods for food aid under the V-      Food Aid Convention .
