                  PROPOSAL FOR COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC )
        amending Regulation (EEC ) Ho 522/77 laying down special
  provisions applicable to trade in tomato concentrates and peeled
tomatoes between the Community as originally constituted and the new
                              Member States

 ---pagebreak---                       EXPLANATORY NOTE
       As part of the trade arrangements with non–member countries , a minimum
price is fixed in respect of imports of tomato concentrates into the Community
as originally constituted. Until the end of 1977 , a special minimum price is
fixed at a lower level for imports into the three new Member States .
       Large quantities of this product are now starting to be redispatched
from the Three to the Six , thus avoiding the minimum price level applicable
in the Six. To prevent the smooth functioning of the said arrangements from
being jeopardized, it is proposed to extend the levying of compensatory amounts ,
at present applied only to Community products , to products originating in non-
member countries .

    amending          Regulation (EEC ) No 522/77                  laying down special
    provisions applicable to trade in tomato concentrates and peeled tomatoes between
    the Community as originally constituted and the new Member States
                                         THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
                                         Having regard to the Treaty establishing the
                                         European Economic Community , and in particular
                                         Article 43 thereof ,
                                         Having regard to the proposal from the
                                         Commission ,
                                         Having regard to the Opinion of the European
                                         Parliament ,
  Whereas under Article 1 of Council Regulation ( EEC )
  Mo 522/ 77 of 14 March 1977      the levying in intra–
   Community-trade by the Member States of the Community as originally constituted
   of compensatory amounts on imports of tomato concentrates from the new Member
   States is provided for only in respect of products of Community origin ? whereas
   this levy does not therefore apply to products from non-member countries placed
   in free circulation in the new Member States ;
  Whereas Article 3 of Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 516/77 of 14 March 1977 on the
  common organization of the market in products processed from fruit and vegetables"
 provides for the fixing of a minimum Inport price for tomato concentrates;
  whereas the same Article provides for the fixing of a special minimum price            j
 for imports of these products into the new Member States until 31 December 1977;
 Whereas, having regard- to the difference between these two prices, large quan­
 tities of tomato concentrates originating in non-member countries have over
 recent months been dispatched by the new Member States to the Community as
 originally constituted; whereas such a practice could jeopardize the smooth
 functioning of the trade arrangements with non-member countries, whereas
Regulation (EEC ) No 522/ 77 should consequently be amended by making provision
for the levy of compensatory amounts to be extended to products originating
in non-member countries,

                  reason imports are supposed to continue at a normal level . The financial
                  consequences are negligible .                           .
