Under the rules at present in force the ECU is to be applied in connection
with the common agricultural policy only until 31 December 1982 .
In the context of the consolidation of agri -monetary texts the Commission has
submitted to the Council a proposal on the permanent use of the ECU in matters
of common agricultural policy ( proposal No 5151/80 - C0M(80)43 final ).
In the light of the progress reached in the discussion to date it is unlikely
that the Council will be in a position to decide on that proposal in the near
future .
The Commission has accordingly amended the proposal referred to above and is
now proposing that the period of validity of Regulation ( EEC ) No 652/79 , which
introduced the ECU into the common agricultural policy , be extended .
The rules in question would thus be valid until 31 December 1984 «   This should
allow sufficient time to complete consideration of the proposal to consolidate
the texts .
In this respect the Commission would emphasize that final agreement on the
consolidation of agri-monetary texts is of the utmost importance , given the
need to clarify the rules and avoid misunderstandings which arise from the
complex nature and disparity of the provisions in force .
