 At its meeting on 19 October, . 1981 , the Agriculture Council noted that the ..
 Commission intended to " continue the negotiations on the basis of the
present mandate and at the . same time to prepare alterhative proposals                  '
 which it would submit to the Council if the need arose ." -                        ;
 The " General Affairs " Council , at its meeting on' 26 October 1981 , agreed to
 examine new proposals of the Commission , if the actual negotiations do riot succeed®
 Since the ACP states have now once more refused the Community 's offer, the .
 present proposal is made in order to modify the decision the Council of 18 May 1981
 in such a way that the Commission , can negotiate the guaranteed prices by reference
 to the percentage increase in the Community 's white sugar intervention price for
'1981 / 82 while still remaining within the framework of the provisions of the
 Protocol on ACP sugar : and the Agreement with India . i ••
 Accordingly , the attached recommendation for a Council Decision seeks authority
 for , the Commission, to negotiate , on "a- new basis , on behalf of the Community , the      '
 guaranteed prices to be applied in the 1981 / 82 delivery period which began on
 1 July 1981 .                  . ' ■ . / " 'X     \          ' . -C-' ,   - y■        \

  This recommendation for a Decision does not involve implications other .than those
  derived from the application of the Protocol on ACP sugar and the agreement with'
  India already taken into consideration within'the framework of the management of
  the common organization of the sugar market .
