      Among the proposals which "the Commission presented to the Council
on the fixing of prices for certain agricultural products and certain re­
lated measures ( COM ( 80 ) 10 final of 6 February 1980 ) is a proposal for a
Council regulation amending Regulation ( EEC ) No 2511/69 laying down special
measures for Community citrus fruit and Regulation (EEC ) No 1035/72 on the ;>
common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables ; this proposal
provides for the maintenance for the marketing year 1980/81 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 pur­
suant to certain agreements concluded with the Mediterranean countries .
      The Commission therefore proposes to the Council that Council Regula­
tion (EEC ) No 471/76 of 24 February 1976 , as last amended by Council Regula­
tion (EEC ) No. 1419/79 » suspending application of the condition on prices
governing the importation into the Community of fresh lemons originating in
certain Mediterranean countries be extended until 31 Mai 1981 .

 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 conven­
      tional price in order to avoid having to pay all the customs duties on import .
      Since 1976 the Community has refrained from applying this .nystem in respect of
       certain Mediterranean countries . Renewal of the suspension of this system for
      a further year therefore involves no significant effect on receipts from custom :
       duties . Imports , of fresh lemons originating in these countries amounted to :
      1976 - 158.610 t . :             1977 - 159.821 t .          j   1978 - 195.016 t .
