                 Against the background of the Council 's decision of principle
 taken on 25 and 2 6 April 1977 » "the Commission undertook to propose to transfer
 "bread making wheat to Italy if there were sufficient quantities available in
  intervention .
                 Prolonged' rain in Italy seriously reduced the acreage sown to
.wheat to ^ he' extent that there is a deficit of this cereal .
                 The Italian government has asked the Commission to propose within
 the limits of the quantities for which there is an agreement in principle , that
 200.000 tons of wheat should be transferred from the German intervention agency.
               . The total quantity available in German intervention stores exceeds
 the amount -requested by the Italian government .    The Commission proposes there­
  fore to put 200.000 tons of bread making wheat at present' held by the Germaii in­
 tervention agency at the disposal of the Italian intervention agency .
