                   At its meeting on 18 and 19 June 1973 » during which , in the
 context cf relations between the European Economic Community and the Medi­
 terranean countries , the Council examined measures to he taken with regard
 to fruit and vegetables , a compromise was reached involving a certain nurfber
 of provisions relating to citrus fruits .
                   In respect of oranges and mandarins , these provisions are
as follows s
1 . Maintenance of the concessions proposed by the Commission ,
2 . Arienoinents to Regulation ( EEC ) Ho 2511/69 and implementing regulations ,
    including s
    a) deletion cf provisions on the contracts to be conciuled with a view
        to the grant of the marketing premium
    b ) fixing of the premium at the following amounts s
        - Moro , Tarocco , Ovale calabrese , Belladonna .
          Navel , Valencia late s                           7»~ U.C. / 100 kg

        - Mandarins, s                                      6 ,- U.C. /lOO kg
                   Accordingly the object of this proposed regulation is to
amend Regulation ( ESC ) NO 251l/69 IN accordance with the compromise referred
to above at pcint 2 under which the application of the new system of marketing
premiums depends on the entry into force of the new agreements with the Me­
diterranean. countries .
                   Therefore this Regulation should enter into force at the
same tiire as the new import arrangements for oranges and mandarins under the
abovesaid agreements .

amending Regulation ( EEC ) Eo 2511/69
1 . The financial consequences of the proposed Regulation amcrant to.- airl­
     inerease in the financial compensation provided for in Article 8 of
     Regulation (.'UEC ) Eo 2511/69 . It is proposed that Regulation ( HEC ) No

     pensation would be fixed by that Regulation .
2 . The quantities which were the subject of financial compensation ware as
     follows : 1969/70 - 27.000 metric tons 5 1970/71 - 42.000 metric tonsj

 ---pagebreak--- In view of the trend towards an increase in quantities under the
present rules and of the proposal to increase the amounts and to
delete the clause relating to contracts , the quantities are likely
to increase . Therefore , in view of the Council 's agreement of 13 and
19 June 1973 to update the financial compensation , the Commission 's
proposed 1974 Budget provides , at the relevant item ( iTo 68ll ) for an
amount of 8 million u.a. ( of which 5.4 million for financial compert-
sation). The same amounts appear in the long-term forecasts .

troduced , l n+er alia , a scheme of financial compensation to promote sales
of Community-produced oranges and mandarins on Community import markets by
means of contracts ensuring regular supplies !
Whereas experience has shown that the contractual scheme referred to above
has not had the desired results as regards the growth of Community outlets
for the products in question ! whereas the increase in competition from pro­
ducer third countries resulting from the agreements which the Community is
negotiating with these countries can only make it more difficult to market
Community-produced citrus fruit on the Community market !
Whereas to counter the difficulties referred to above the provisions of Re­
gulation ( EEC ) HO 25H/ 69 should be modified by discontinuing the contractual
scheme and increasing the amounts of financial compensation ;
