  This draft Regulation earns to continue for a further twelve months the premium
  soheme on the "birth of oalves as it was applied during the 1976/1977 marketing
  year.
  In effeot the opinions voiced in the Counoil of the 25/29 March 1977 have
, enabled the Commission to conclude that was appropriate to present a draft
  Begulation providing for the continuation of tlie above mentioned premium system .
                                                                          •Λ
 From the eoonomio point of view the application of this premium during the
  1975/76 and 1976/77 marketing years permitted the reversal of the tendency as
 regards the cattle herd in Italy : in effect , the . herd, which was constaxHy
 falling upto 31*12.1974 (8.2 million head as opposed to 10 million on 31ol2«1968 )
 has 'began to increase since
    - on 31*12.1975 * 8*5 million
    - on 31*12.1976 : 8.8 million.'
 A similar upward trend has not been ocourred in the cow herd.
 The trend reversal on- the total cattle herd, though slight , would be at risk
 if the effort' undertaken was not continued or even reinforced} it is for this
reason that the Commission is proposing, and to take account of increases in
the cost of cattle rearing to increase the amount of the premium from 28 UA to
 35 UA per oalf. The other provisions for granting the premium would remain
unchanged.

                        EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
  Since the common organisation of the market in cereals was established
  Italy has benefited from a measure to reduce the impact of the common
  system on the level of feedgrain prices in the country .     Because of their
  structural situation access to Italian ports is difficult and a reduction
   >f the import levy was therefore required in order to ensure uniform import
  charges .  As a programme to import port structures was planned the Council
  decided in 1973 to make provision for^the progressive abolition of the amount
. by which the levy was reduced ; no reduction would be made after the 1977/78
  marketing year .
  Despite all the efforts made it appears , however , that   the port situation
  is still'not entirely satisfactory and that the measure applicable for the
  1976/77 marketing year should, therefore , be extended for a further year .
