                    .. EXPLANATORY NOTE
■ Article 80(1) of the Act concerning the Conditions of Accession
 provides that the compensatory amount applicable until the first
 move towards alignment for
 - round- gramed husked rice ,
 - long-grained husked rice , and
 - broken rice
 shall be established on the basis of the difference between
 1.   the threshold pnce and
 2.   the market prices recorded on the market of the new
      Member State concerned during a reference period .
 1.   The threshold price chosen for husked rice is that operative
      at the beginning of the 1972/73 marketing year (20*75 u.a./
      100 kg of round-grained rice and 22.75 u.a. /lOO kg of long-
      grained rice ) to make it as close as possible to the
      reference period selected . '
 2.   The market prices recorded on the Danish and Irish markets
      referred either                                    .
      - to badly defined qualities , so that it was impossible to
        make them comparable with the standard qualities for which
        threshold prices are fixed ; or
      - to non-representative quantities or to pre-processed rice
        At prices which do not reflect the real level of the
        world market .
      In view of the absence of truly representative market prices
      for the markets of these two acceding Member States , the
      compensatory amounts have been based on the import prices
      at Rotterdam adjusted for freightage between that port and
      the ports of unloading in the new Member States .        Since the
      resulting difference recorded between Rotterdam and Ireland
      and between Rotterdam and Denmark is low , a single average
      amount of 0.50 u.a./lOO kg has been adopted .

        The market prices recorded in the United Kingdom are very close
        to the prices derived from Rotterdam for the other two acceding
        Member States ,    In view of the very small difference between the
        market prices in the new Member States and since these three
        States obtain their supply at world market prices , it is proposed
        that identicaJL compensatory amounts should be fixed for the
        three acceding countries .
  3.    The reference period selected is the 1971/72 marketing year
        (1.9.71-31.8.72 ) , which immediately preceded the threshold
        price used in fixing compensatory amounts .
B.Article 80(2) of the Act concerning the Conditions of Accession
  provides that the Compensatory amount for
  - paddy ra.ce ,
  - semi-milled rice ,
  - milled rice , and
  - the products listed in Article 1(c ) of Eegulation No 359/67/^^5
     on the common organization of the market in rice
  shall , for each of these products , be derived from the compensatory
  amount referred . to in Article 8o(l ) ( see A above ), with the help of
  the coefficients used in determining the levy .
  The compensatory amounts for these products will be adopted in
  accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 26 of
  Eegulation No 359/67/EEC-

i;HE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic
Community ;
Having regard to the Treaty^^ concerning the accession of new Member
States to the European Economic Community and to the European Atomic
Energy Community , and in particular Article 62(1 ) of the Act annexed
thereto ;
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ;
Whereas under Article 80 of the Act compensatory amounts for round-
grained and long-grained husked rice and for broken rice must be         .
established ori the basis of the difference between the threshold ;price
and the market prices recorded on the market of the Member State
concerned during a reference period ;                       '          v
Whereas the new Member States, have until now obtained their supplies
at world market prices ; whereas if these prices which are the basis
for fixing levies adjusted foi* the difference in transport costs, are
used , a price' comparable to the threshold price and scarcely varying
from one new Member State to< another would be fixed ;      whereas com- '
pensatory amounts for husked and broken rice should therefore be
fixed at an identical level for the three acceding Member States ; .

 Whereas the rules in Article 80(2) of' the Act apply to compensatory
 amounts other than those specified above ;     whereas under that Article
 the compensatory amounts -for paddy rice , semi-milled rice and fully
milled rice will be fixed by applying to the compensatory amount for
the reference product the conversion factors established in
Commission Regulation No k67/6?/EEC ^ of 21 August 1967 fixing the
conversion, rates , the processing costs and the value of the by­
products for the various stages of rice processing , as last amended
by Regulation (EEC) No 1^99/72^? '
Whereas for products listed in Article l(l)(c ) of Council Regulation
No 359/67/EEG ^ of 26 June 1967 on the common organization of the
                                             a)
market in rice , as last amended by the Act       concerning the Con­
ditions of Accession and the Adjustments to the Treaties , the com­
pensatory amount must be fixed with the use of the coefficients used
in determining the variable component of the levy ;       whereas these
coefficients were fixed by Council Regulation (EEC ) No 1052/68           of
23 July 1968 on the import and export system for products processed
from cereals and from rice , as last amended by Regulation (EEC )
No 1529/71
Whereas , since the purpose of compensatory amounts xn intra-Community
trade is to promote the satisfactory circulation of products between
Member States having different price levels , a compensatory amount
should be levied on imports to a Member State with a higher price
level and , conversely , such an amount should be granted on exports to
a Member State with a lower price level ;
Whereas it therefore follows from Article 55(1 ) ( a) of the Act ,
according to which compensatory amounts are levied , by the importing
Member State or granted by the exporting Member State , that it is for
the Member State with the highest price level to grant or levy these
amounts ;                                     .               ,

Whereas it should be made clear that the application of Article 55(1) (b)
of the Act involves deduction of the compensatory amount from the
levy or refund ;
Whereas appropriate measures must be taken to avoid deflection of
trade where , in trade between a new Member State and third countries ,
the compensatory amount is to be deducted from the refund or where
the refund , if fixed at all , is lower than the compensatory amount ;
Whereas detailed rules for levying and granting compensatory amounts
should be such as to avoid deflections of trade caused , in particular ,
by differences in their levels ;
Whereas for the sake of clarity the Commission should be authorized
to publish the compensatory amounts in the Annex listing those fixed
by the Commissions

RÅDET FOR DE EUROPÆISKE FÆLLESSKABER HAR -
under henvisning til traktaten vedrørende de nye medlemsstaters tiltrædelse af
Det europæiske økonomiske Fællesskab og         Det europæiske Atomenergifællesskab ,
underskrevet den 22 . januar 1972           særlig artikel 62 , stk . 1 , i den akt , som
er knyttet dertil ,
under henvisning til forslag fra Kommissionen , og
ud fra følgende betragtninger :
I overensstemmelse med artikel 80 i akten beregnes udligningsbeløbene for af­
skallet rundkornet ris ,     afskallet langkornet ris samt brudris på grundlag af
forskellen mellem tærskelprisen og de markedspriser , der er konstateret i en
referenceperiode på markedet i den pågældende nye medlemsstat :
hidtil har de nye medlemsstater dækket deres behov til de pa verdensmarkedet
gældende priser ; med støtte i disse priser , der benyttes som grundlag ved fast­
sættelsen af afgifter , efter at de er justeret i forhold til forskellen i
transportomkostninger , må der for de nye medlemsstater beregnes en pris , som
kan sammenlignes med tærskelprisen og som kun i yderst ringe omfang varierer
fra den ene ny medlemsstat til den anden ; denne bydende nødvendighed fører
til at fastsætte udligningsbeløbene for afskallet ris og brudris til samme ni­
veau for alle tre tiltrædende medlemsstater ;
andre udligningsbeløb end de ovenfor omhandlede gives der regiet- for i           arti­
kel 80 , stk . 2 , i akten ; i henhold til denne sidstnævnte bestemmelse må udlig­
ningsbeløbene for iR.f skallet ris , halvpol eret ris og poleret ris fastsættes ved
på udligningsbeløbet for referenceproduktet at anvende de koefficienter , som
er fastsat i Kommissionens forordning nr . 467/67/EØF af 21 . august 1967 om
fastsættelse af omregningssatser , forarbe jdningsomkostninger og værdi af bi-

da formålet med udligningsbeløbene i handelen inden for Fællesskabet er på til*

ter med forskelligt prisniveau , skal der opkræves et udligningsbeløb vedu indførsel

stk . 1 , litra b), i akten medfører , at udligningsbeløbet skal fratrækkes afgiften
eller restitutionen ;
hvis udligningsbeløbet i samhandelen mellem en ny medlemsstat og tredjelande skal
fradrages restitutionen , medens denne er lavere end udligningsbeløbet eller ikke
er fastsat , bør der træffes passende foranstaltninger for at undgå fordrejning i
samhandelen ;
det er formålstjenligt at fastsætte reglerne for opkrævning og ydelse af udlig­
