1 . This amendment to Council Regulation (EEC ) No 2742/75 on production refunds
      in the cereals and rice sectors is proposed in order to increase the rates
      of refund applicable from the starch of the 1976/77 marketing year .
2 . The Council decided at its 2/5 March session that in addition to maintaining
      the present production refunds,' supplementary measures should "be taken to
      compensate starch producers for no more than 50% ° f "the increase in the
      price of maize and that the balance should be maintained between the different
      sectors .
                                      A
3.    Based on the Commission 's proposals concerning cereals threshold prices for
      1976/77 i the average maize threshold price is likely to rise by about 11,70
      ua/t compared with 1975/76 . Thus , the maximum compensation to be granted in
      line with the Council 's decision is 5»85 ua/t .
4* The Commission 's proposal provides for an increase of 5 ua/t , which would
      result in a total production refund on maize for starch of 15 ua/t . This
      supplement is within the maximum set by the Council and represents an
      increase of 50$ on the refunds applicable in 1975/76 .
5.    Increased rates of production refund on broken rice used for starch and on
      potato starch have been' derived from that for maize so as to maintain the
      balance between the different sectors . No increase has been proposed for
      wheat starch since processors should be able to supply themselves at or
      around the intervention price for feed wheat .       :
6 . In presenting this proposal for increased rates in 1976/77 the Commission
      also invites the Council to decide that starch production refunds will be
      phased out completely over the next two years by reducing the rates of
      refund by 50^> in 1977/78 , to 7t50 ua/t for maize , for example , and to zero
      for all products for the beginning of the 1978/79 marketing year .
7 . • To raise production refunds to the rates shown in the attached proposal
      should increase expenditure by about 25 mio . ua in a full marketing year .
