                           ] EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
The agreements with various Mediterranean countries lay down provisions
whereby the tariff concession for the importation into the Community
of fresh, lemons originating in these countries is subject to observance
of the price determined on the internal Community market .      Implementing
regulations have been adopted to put these provisions into effect .
On 24-25 June 1975 » "the Council in parallel v;ith the introduction of
special measures for the improvement of production and marketing in the
Community citrus fruit sector expressed itself in favour of abandoning
the officially agreed price .
Therefore , the Commission proposes that the Council with a view to
improving the stability of the market in fresh lemons should adopt this
proposal for a regulation to suspend the provisions in the agreement
with regard to the officially agreed price and relevant implementing
regulations .
