          A system of compensatory amounts for tomato concentrates was introduced
for trade "between the Community as originally constituted and the new Member
States by Regulation ( CT^O Mo 1930/75 *
          Given that consignments to the new Member States have "been unable , the
prant of compensatory amounts notwithstanding , to maintain their former level
by reason of an increase in the difference between third country prices and
Community prices , it is necessary to adapt the level of these amounts .
          The market of the ne.w Member States is a traditionally important outlet
for Community peeled tomatoes . The Community market is currently distinguished by
the existence of imnortant stocks of Community produce whose disposal is made
more difficult by the difference of price between Community oeeied tomatoes and
those of third countries . The extension of the system of compensatory amounts is
necessary to facilitate the disposal of Community peeled tomatoes on the market
of the new Member States .
          The reflation accordingly -nrovides for the adaptations in nuestion.'

   amending             Regulation ( EEC ) NO 1930/75 Laying down
   special provisions applicable to trade in tomato concentrates between the
   Community as originally constituted and the new Member States
                                      THE COUNCIL OP THE EUROPEAN COKKUNITIES ,
                                      Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European
                                      Economic Community , and in particular Article 43 there-
                                      03 ,
                                      Having regard to the proposal from the Commies ion ,
                                      Having regard to the opinion of the European
                                      Parliament ,
Whereas Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 1930/ 75 of 22 July 1975 ( 1 ^ established
 a system of compensatory amounts between the Community as originally
 constituted and the new Member States ;
Whereas , despite the introduction of that system , it has not been possible for
the Community as originally constituted to maintain its former volume of
consignments to the new Member States ; whereas this state of affairs results
 from a widening of the difference between non–member countries offer pric<£ and
the Community cost price ; whereas the compensatory amounts should therefore
be increased in order to protect the competitive position on the markets of the
 new Member States of producers in the Community as originally constituted ;
Whereas , as a result of market trends in recent years , large stocks
of Community – produced peeled tomatoes still remain to be disposed of ; whereas
at the end of the present marketing year Community stocks of about
200 000 metric tons may well have to be carried over ; whereas the offer prices
on the market of the three new Member States are lower than the price obtaining
on markets in the Community as originally constituted ; whereas , since the markets
of the new Member States are an important traditional outlet for Community peeled
tomatoe3 , this difference in prices could harm the competitive position on those
markets of producers in the Community as originally constituted ;
Whereas ,under these circumstances , the system of compensatory amounts should be
extended to apply to peeled tomatoes to safeguard the competitive position
  of the said         ' producers ; whereas those amounts should be fixed a level such
as to facilitate the sale of peeled tomatoes on the markets of the new Kember
States ,
                             HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :
Article 1
           In Article 1 of Regulation ( EEC ) No 1930/75I "t^e words "and peeled tomatoes "

         When the first rorluction is made , -the conmensatory amount , based on the level of
         the export refunds , shall in no case be fixed at a level such as to C-llow
         exportation to the new Member States at a price below the special minimum
         price referred to in Article 2 ( 3 ) of Council Regulation ( SEC ) No 19^7/75 of
