                                (presented by the Commission)
 ---pagebreak---    Explanatory memorandum
1  Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC) 3972/96 of 22nd December 1989
   required the Council to decide by a qualified majority on a proposal
   from the Commission and after obtaining the opinion of the European
   Par Iiament, on:
        the apportionment of the cereals aid provided for under the Food
        Aid Convention between Community and national actions, and
        the apportionment among the Member States of the national cereals
        actions under the Food Aid Convention.
2. Since the Food Aid Convention 1986 expired on 30th June 1989 the Food
   Aid Committee, at the 57th Session in December 1988, decided to extend
   its validity until 30th June 1991. No further changes were introduced
   and therefore the EEC and its Member States contribution in cereals
   under this convention need not to be modified.
3. Under the terms of the Convention, which entered into force in 1986,
   and lasts until 30th June 1991, the Community and Its Member States
   committed themselves to supply a minimum quantity of 1.670.000 tonnes
   of cereals each year in food aid.
4. The Contribution would continue to be apportioned as follows:
   Belgium                                41.500
   Denmark                                15.600
   Germany                               193.500
   Spain                                  20.000
   Greece                                 10.000
   France                                200.000
    Ireland                                4.000
    Italy                                 95.400
   Luxembourg                              1.400
   Netherlands                            50.200
   Portgual
   United Kingdom                        110-700
   Total Member States                   742.300
    EEC                                  927.700
   Grand Total                          1.670.000
5. As in the past, the commitment made under the Convention is to be
    regarded as a minimum. For its part, the Commission intends during the
    budgetary procedure, as in recent years, to propose sufficient
    appropriations to enable it to make food aid available to developing
    countries on the basis of their growing needs and in excess of
   Community commitments as such.
    For their part, Member States are also certain to take account of the
    growth of the needs of developing countries and to grant them aid in
    excess of their obligations under the Convention.
6. In conclusion, the Commission proposes that the Council adopt the
    annexed draft Regulation amending Regulation (EEC) 412/87 In order to
    extend the period, until 30th June 1991, for the apportionment of the
    quantities of cereals provided for under the Food Aid Convention.
                                                                        /. .
