                              Amended proposal
                     REGULATION (EEC ) OF THE COUNCIL
                     on certain measures to prevent
         abuses resulting from the sale of agricultural products

                ( submitted to the Council "by the Commission)
CCM(77 ) 384 final .
 ---pagebreak---  The abovementioned proposal for a Council Regulation aims to prevent
 abuses and discrimination resulting from the sale of agricultural
 products on board ship . Such abuses concern mainly the products ,
mentioned in Annex II of the Treaty .
The Commission considers it therefore possible to limit the field of
application of the Regulation to such agricultural products .  The
Commission also considers it possible to take into consideration the
technical remarks made during the meetings at Council level .  The text
of the proposal amended on these lines is attached .
Since the European Parliament has been consulted on the original
proposal and the amended proposal does not change the principles
involved it is not considered necessary to consult the Parliament
again .
