                        EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
      Among the proposals which the Commission presented to the Council
on the fixing of prices for certain agricultural products and certain re­
lated measures ( COM ( 8l ) 50 final ) is a proposal for a Council regulation
amending Regulation ( EEC ) NO 2511/69 laying down special measures for Com­
munity citrus fruit and Regulation (EEC ) No 1035/72 on the common organization
of the market in fruit and vegetables ; this proposal provides for the main­
tenance for the marketing year 1981/82 of the granting of financial compen­
sation for lemons .    The Commission must therefore propose the extension over
the same period of the suspension of the application of the agreed price for
imports of fresh citrus fruit into the Community pursuant to certain agree­
ments concluded with the Mediterranean countries .
       The Commission therefore proposes to the Council that Council Regula­
tion ( EEC ) NO 471/76 of 24 February 1976 , as last amended by Council Regu­
lation ( EEC ) NO . 2144/80 , suspending application of the condition on prices
governing the importation into the Community of fresh lemons originating in
oertain Mediterranean countries be extended until 31 Mai 1982 .

 1.3 METHOD Of CALCULATION
      Expcricnco acrjui red during the application of the system of the conventional
      price showed that tlie exporting countries concerned try to observe tho conven­
      tional price in order to avoid having to pay all tho customs duties on import .
      Sinco 1976 the Community has refrained from applyin/7 this system in respect of
      certain Mediterranean countries. Renewal of the suspension of this . system for
      a further year therefore involves no significant effect on receipts from custor:
      duti^o» Imports of frsoh lemonB ori /rinating in these countries amounted to :
