 ---pagebreak---        COjCTISSION COMMUNICATION TO THE COUNCIL CONCERTING THE INCLUSION
       OF SOMALIA IN THE 1975 INTERIM PROSEAI-iME FOR THE SAHEL COUNTRIES
       AND ETHIOPIA      '
                      In a letter dated 5 November , the authorities of the
Democratic Republic of Somalia drew the Commission 's attention to the
particularly alarming situation in which certain categories of population
in their country find themselves following a prolonged period of drought .
They have £,sked the Community for emergency food aid in order to "be able
to feed a population of 50 000 people who are destitute and for whom daily
distribution of food must be organized#
                      The main types of food required are cereals and milk
prochicts .
                      The Commission considers that the Community should meet
this request in the folloxtfing  farmer :
–  for cereals , a proposal is being submitted providing for the aid now
   being supplied under the normal aid programme for 1972/73 , to take
   the form of emergency aid ;
–  for milk products , the Commission considers that the quickest response
   which could be given to Somalia would be to include this country (as
   was done for Ethiopia in 1973./74) in the proposals for the 1975 interim
   programme for the Sahel countries and Ethiopia which are currently being
   considered by the Council «
                      It would seem in fact that a limited quantity (350 metric
tons of milk powder and 500 metric tons of "butteroil~>bf milk products which
are planned to be distributed within this programme could now be earmarked
for Somalia because , according to information recently received – information
which will have to "be compared with the f indings of the " mu.lti-dor.or mission"
which is now on the spot – it appears that some of the deliveries in this
programme could be postponed or reduced mainly because other donars , such as
 ^ corresponding to 6 months consumption for the 50 000 ffected. The balance
    required to sustain these persons for a year could be considered in the
    context of a subsequent programme .

UNTCEF , have announced, their intention to supply in the near future certain
amounts of these products to some of the Sahelian countries . Of course , if
the findings of the "multi–donor mission" make it appear necessary , proposals
could then "be put forward to compensate for the effects of this decision *
                     Consequently the Commission is amending its proposal for
a Regulation (SEX)) Ho        of the Council of                   on the supply of
skimmed milk powder as food aid to the countries of the Sahel and    Ethiopia
and the proposal for a Regulation (EEC ) No            of the Council of
                    on the supply of milk fats as food aid to the countries of
the Sahel and Ethiopia (Annexes III and IV of the Commission Communication to
the Council on the 1975 interim programme for Community food aid    to the      ■ j
Sahel countries and Ethiopia) by including the supply of 350 metric tons of
skimmed milk powder and 500 metric tons of "butteroil to Somalia , and "by
making the consequential adjustments to the amounts originally provided for .
