At the time of implementing the comm noorganization of the
market in raw tobacco it was necessary to define a basis
for calculating prices and premiums in order to avoid a
situation arising where the Community would be responsible
for unusable products ;
Because of technical difficulties it was not possible at the
start to lay down precise rules for determining moisture
content for the entire Community . An investigation was
undertaken and while waiting for the results a standard
rate , based on national practices , was applied .
The results of the investigation have just become known . On
the basis of these results the Commission proposes the rates
of content . which are the subject of the proposal attached
hereto . The government experts of all the Member States who
were consulted by the Commission have agreed on the reasonableness
of these rates . The. results of the investigation suggest that
certain rates applying at present should be retained and that
others should be amended .
It seems appropriate , therefore , that the community moisture
content rate for leaf tobacco should be applied as quickly
as possible starting from the 197 ^ harvest and that these
amendments should be inserted in Annex I ( Leaf tobacco :
varieties and reference qualities thereof ) to the proposal for
a Council Regulation ( EEC ) No      /7b of        7b fixing the
norm prices , the intervention prices and the reference qualities
for leaf tobacco from the 197 ^ harvest .
