1 . Under Artiole 55 ( 2 ) of -the Act ooncerning the Conditions of Accession and
    the Adjustments to the Treaties , the "accession" compensatory amounts for
    these products for which intervention prices are fized in the New Member
    States are to equal the diffrenoe between the prices fixed for the new
    Member State concerned and the common prices .    As regards cereals , these
    previsions apply to common wheat and barley for which intervention prices
    are fixed in all the new Member States ,,
    The intervention prices having served as a basis for the calculation of      -
    the "accession" compensatory amounts are fixed in Regulation (EEC ) No 1152/77
    of Council of 17 May 1977 .
2 * In respect of these cereals for which no intervention prices have been fixed
    in the new Member States , the rules for the calculation and alignment of
    compensatory amounts , were , pursuant to the Act of Accession , laid down by
    Council Regulation (EEC ) No 2757/75 whereby the compensatory amounts for
    these products are to be calculated by applying coefficients to the compen­
    satory amounts that are valid for the reference cereal .    These coefficients
    were determined on the basis of prices or prices ratios in the new Member
    States. Accordingly , Article 2 ( 2 ) of the said Regulation provides for a
    progressive adjustment of these coefficients in accordance with the time*
    table laid down in Article 52 ( 2 ) of the Aot (6 stages ), alignment , that
    is , with the existing ratio between Communityj-threshold prices .  The appli­
    cation of a coefficient to the compensatory amount whioh is fixed for the
    reference oereal , taking into account the variations in common prices , and
    the progressive alignment of the coefficients with the threshold price ratio
    for the new marketing yeas' , constitute rules which enable the last stage
    of alignment to be achieved.
3 . However , in pursuance of Article 55 (4) of the Act , no compensatory amount
    shall , however , be fixed if the calculation results in a minimal amount ;
    this is the case in respect of common wheat in the trade of the Community
    as originally constituted with Denmark and Ireland and in respect of barley
    and oats in the trade with Denmark .    Coefficients should therefore no longer
    be fixed in respect of those cereals for which the 'accession compensatory"
    amount on the reference cereal has been suppressed.

THE COONCIL OP THE EUROPEAN CCgmJNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ,
Having regard to the Aot of Accession, and in particular Article 62 ( l ) thereof ,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas the compensatory amounts applicable until 31 December 1977 "for common
wheat and barley were laid down in Article 1 of Council Regulation (EEC ) Ho
 2757 /75 °£ 29 October 1975 laying down general rules for the system of accession

compensatory amounts for cereals         , as amended by Regulation (EEC ) 3To 1620/76^'
whereas , in accordance with Article 55 ( 2) of the Aot , these amounts correspond
to the difference between the prices fixed for the new Member State concerned
and the oommon prices ;
tfhereds Article 52 of the Act provides that the prices x'ixed for the new
Member States shall be aligned with the level of the common prices in six
 stages; whereas the most recent alignment, • that for the 1977/78 marketing year ,
has resulted in the prices for common wheat and barley fixed by Council
Regulation (EEC ) No II52/77          whereas , in accordance with Article 55 ( 2)
 of the Act, the difference between these prices and the common prices consti­
tutes the accession compensatory amount for the new marketing year ;
Whereas , ifl pursuance of Article 55 (4) of the Act ", no compensatory amount
is , however , to be fixed if the calculation results in a minimal amount;
whereas this is the case in respect of common wheat in trade "between the Communit,
as origins,lly constituted and Denmark and Ireland and in respect of barley and
 oats in trade with Denmark ;
Whereas Council Regulation (EEC ) No 2757/75 fixed coefficients to be applied
to the compensatory amount for the reference oereai ; whereas , in accordance
with Article 2 ( 2) of the said Regulation, these coefficients are to be pro­
 gressively aligned} whereas coefficients should no longer be fixed in res­
 pect of those cereals for whioh there is no accession compensatory- jmouni-on the
 reference cereal ,
