The proposals on the fixing of prices for certain agricultural products and on
certain related measures ( C0M5770 100 final of 22 February 1977 ) presented by the
Commission to the Council included a proposal for a Council regulation fixing
certzin prices and other amounts applicable in the firuit and vegetables sector
for the 1977 / 78 marketing year ( p. 83 et seq . of the above document ), which
provides inter alia for the extension for that marketing year of the payment of
                                «
financial compensation for lemons . Jt must therefore propose the extension over
the same period of. the suspension of application of the agreed price to which
imports into the Community of fresh lemons are subject pursuant to certain agree­
ments with the Mediterranean countries .
In addition , since three new agreement have been signed with the Arab Republic of
Egypt , the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and the Lebanese Republic respectively , t h 3
regulation suspending application of the agreed price should be amended accordingly .
The Commission therefore proposes that the Council :
   - extend until 31 May 1978 Council Regulation ( EEC ) N° 471 / 76 of 24 February
      1976 suspending application of the condition on prices governing the impor­
      tation into the Community of fresh lemons originating in certain Mediterra­
      nean countries ;
    – amend and supplement' Counci I Regulation ( EEC ) n° 471 / 76 in order to take
                      V                                 '
       into account the three agreements signed recently .
