        Among the proposals which the Commission presented to the Council
on the fixing of prices for certain agricultural products and certain related
measures (COM ( 79 ) 10 final of 12 February 1979 ) is a proposal for a Council

organization of the market in fruit and vegetables ; this proposal provides for
the maintenance for the marketing year 1979/80 of the granting of financial
compensation for lemons *   The Commission must therefore propose the extension
over the same period of the suspension of the application of the agreed price
for imports of fresh citrus fruits into the Community pursuant to certain agree­
ments concluded with the Mediterranean countries .
         The Commission therefore proposes to the Council t
– that Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 471 /76 of 24 February 1976 t 33 last amended
   by Council Regulation ( EEC ) No H29/78 , suspending application of the condition
   on prices governing the importation into the Community of fresh lemons origi­

   5.2 METHOD OF CALCULATION
    Experience acquired during the application of the system of the conventional price
    showed that the exporting countries concerned try to observe the conventional
    prioe in order to avoid having to pay all the customs duties on import# Since
    1976 the Community has refrained from applying this system in respect of certain
    Mediterranean countries . Renewal of the suspension of this system for a further
   year therefore involves no significant effeot on receipts fron oustoms duties
