 1 . Under Article 55(2 ) of the Act concerning the Conditions of Accession
     and the Adjustments to the Treaties , the " accession" compensatory amounts
     for those products for which derived intervention prices are fixed in
     the new Member States arc to equal the difference between the prices
     fixed for the new Member State concerned and the common prices .          As
     regards cereals , these provisions apply to common wheat and barley for
     which derived intervention prices are fixed in all the new Member States .
     In its proposal for a Regulation determining the main marketing centres
     for cereals , the derived intervention prices applicable at those centres
     and the single intervention prices for maize , durum wheat and rye , the
     Commission proposed the marketing centres and the prices applicable
     thereat for the marketing year 1>73/1974 «      Among these centres are
     those where the prices ha/ve already served as a basis for the calculation
     of the " accession" compensatory amounts .
     In accordance with the rules laid down in Article 52 (2 ), ( a) of the Act , .
     and taking into account the Council 's decision to provide for a derogation
     under Article 5^(3 ) of the x\ct for the United Kingdom, these prices
     should be aligned v/ith the level of common prices for the marketing
     year 1 97 3/1 974 •  In accordance with Article 55(2 ) of the Act the
     difference between these prices and the common prioes , the latter being
     increased by 1 / J for the marketing year 1973/l974 » equals the " accession"
     compensatory amount which is applicable for common wheat and barley
     during the marketing yecj? 1973/1974 *
2 . In respect of those cereals for which no derived intervention prices have
     been fixed in the new Member States , the rules for the calculation and
     alignment of compensatory amounts , were , pursuant to the Act of Accession ,
     laid down by Council Regulation ( EEC ) Ho 229/73(2 ) whereby the compensa^
     tory amounts for these products are to be calculated by applying
     coefficients to the compensatory anounts that are valid for the reference
     cereal .    These coefficients were determined on the basis of prices or
     prico ratios in the new Member States .     Accordingly, Article 2(2 ) of
     the said Regulation provides for a progressive adjustment of these
     coefficients in accordance with the timetable laid down in Article 52(2 )
     of the Act (6 stages ), alignment , that is , with the existing ratio
                                                                         • * • /• » •

■between Community threshold prices .   The application of a coefficient
to the compensatory amount which is fixed for tho reference cereal , taking
into account the variations in common prices , and the progressive align­
ment of the coefficients with the threshold price ratio for tho new
marketing year , constitute rules tvhich enable the first stage of align­
ment to be achieved .

 Whereas , in accordance with Article 52 of the Act , existing prices in the
 new Member States must be aligned with the level of the common prices in six
 stages ; whereas , for the marketing year 1973/1974* the result of this align­
 ment is the prices for common wheat and barley that are dealt with in Council
 Regulation (EEC) Ifo      /73 of          1973^; whereas, in accordance with
 Article 55(2 ) of the Act , the difference between these prices and the common
