      Both Protocol No 3 on AGP sugar annexed to the ACP-EEC Convention of Lome
      and the Agreement with India on cane sugar place an obligation on the
      Community to purchase , at guaranteed prices , agreed quantities of white
      or raw sugar originating in the ACP states and India. Article 5 (4 ) of
     the Protocol and of the Agreement require these prices to be negotiated
     annually within the price range obtaining in the Community , taking into
     account all relevant economic factors * The Community prices to apply
     in the sugar seotor during the 1976/77 marketing year whioh begins on
     1 July 1976 were fixed by the Council at its session on 2,3 and 4 March 1976#
     The present guaranteed prices apply until 30 June 1976® Accordingly , this
     recommendation for a decision seeks a mandate authorising the opening of
     the negotiations required by Article 5 (4 ) of the Protoool and of the
    Agreement In order to fix – at the latest by 1 May 1976 – the guaranteed
     prices to apply to the delivery period whioh begins on 1 July 1976 *
