                           EXFLANATORY IMTORANDUIÏ
At its meeting on 17 and 18 June 1974 the Council agreed that , in
respect of pigmeat , Italy should effect now the " adjustment " in prices
vrhich under Article 4b of Regulation (EEC ) No 974/71 ( inserted by
Regulation (EEC ) No 3450/73 OJ No L 353 , 21.12.1973 , p. 25 ) should take
place on 1 November 1974 , "the beginning of the marketing year .
Provisions should therefore be adopted by way of derogation from the
said Article 4b .   It would be appropriate to do this by making an
amendment , under Article 149(2 ) of the Iteaty , to the proposal
for a Regulation concerning , inter alia , the amendment of Regulation
(EEC ) No 2953/7 3 on the exchange rate applied in Agriculture for the
Italian lira .

                                 - 2 -
 1.   To "be added after the last recital :
Whereas , as regards pigmeat , Article 2 of Regulation (ESC ) No 1424/74 provides
that the purchase price applicable in Italy is to he increased "by 12 »5 percent
until the beginning of the 1974/75 marketing year and that Article 4b of
Council Regulation (EEC ) Ho 974/71         of 12 Kay 1971 on certain measures
of conjunctural policy to be taken in agriculture following the temporary
widening of the margins of fluctuation for the currencies of certain
Member States , as last amended by Regulation (EEC ) No 3450/73        is to
be applied subject to such provision ; whereas the Italian purchase price
is consequently 3 . 18$ beloxf the price resulting from the use of the now
conversion rate ;
Whereas a need for imports is a constant feature of the Italian pigmeat
market ; whereas , in view of the balance of payments difficulties currently
facing Italy , home production should be stimulated as much as possible ;
ivhereas for this purpose the price increase originally planned for the
beginning of the 1974/75 marketing year should bo brought in now , which
will mean that the provisions of .Articb 4b of Regulation (EEC ) No 974/71
will no longer apply in respect of pigmeat .
