            In its judgment of 21 March 1974 "the Court of Justice of the
European Communities stated that Council Regulation (EEC ) n° 1365/73 , by
providing for a conversion factor to be applied to the producer price of
tomatoes in Ireland for the purpose of calculating the compensatory amount ,
had infringed Articles 65 and 66 of the Act of Accession .
           Consequently , the Court declared void the abovementioned Regulation
in so" far as it provided for a conversion factor to be applied to the produ­
cer price and thereby fixed the compensatory amount applicable ty Ireland
in respect of tomatoes for delivery fresh to the consumer .
           Under Article 176 of the EEC Treaty new compensatory amounts should
be fixed for Ireland on* the basis of the criteria determined by the Court of
Justice .
           However , it appears fair not to revise the amounts already levied
in respect of tomatoes imported to Ireland , so as not to penalize importers
who imported in 1973 and who paid the compensatory amounts fixed in the
Regulation which was declared void by the Court of Justice .
           Denmark is in the same position as Ireland since , under Regulation
(BBC ) n° 1365A3 1 the same conversion factor as in the case of Ireland is
applied to the producer price of Danish tomatoes for the purpose of cal­
culating the compensatory amounts applicable by that Member State .    ,
           Therefore the basic amounts applicable by Denmark from 1974 "to 1977 should
 be     determined by reference to an initial, basic amount calculated without
applying a conversion factor to the producer price of Danish tomatoes .
FINANCIAL COriPEQUEHCES
           The basic compensatory amounts applicable by Denmark and Ireland
in respect of tomatoes exported during the 1973 marketing year .were , respec­
tively , 154 u.a . and 73 u.a . per tonne .
           For the period' of application of the compensatory amounts in 1974
these basic amounts will be respectively 28 9,6 u.a . and 173.6 per tonne .

             Since , generally speaking, the quantities of tomatoes exported by
Denmark are extremely small , the financial consequences can "be held to be
negligible#                    '
             During the period of application of the compensatory amounts in 1973 »
Irish exports amounted to around 4*300 tonnes# In view of the trend of exports
in recent years it is possible to predict that they will reach 5*000 tonnes
during the period of application of the amounts in 1974 » given a total produc­
tion of + 20.000 tonnes , and should increase by about 700 tonnes per annum in
subsequent years .
             Since the Regulation has retroactive effect , for the period of appli­
cation of the 1973 "accession" compensatory amounts expenditure is increased
by the difference between the amounts already granted and the amounts fixed
following the decision of the Court of Justice , as follows :
                        144 u.a./t x 4.300 t * 619*200 u.a.
             This expenditure is to be charged in the 1974 Budget of the European
Communities .
             Since the basic compensatory amounts are reduced by 20$ every year
and Irish exports are - increasing, estimated expenditure for 1974 and subsequent
years is .; as follows i                                               .
             1974   * . 5.000 t x 173,6 u.a. »         868.000   u.a .

             1977   :   7.100 t x . 43*40 u.a. «       308.000   u.a.
             This expenditure should be charged under Chapter 68, Article 6812
"Fruit and vegetables "– Other interventions " of the Budget of the European
Communities •

             The expenditure resulting from the proposed measure represents only
2,2$ of the appropriations provided for in this Chapter and is thus well within
the margin of uncertainty affecting budget estimates .

                            Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ;
Whereas Article 65 of the Act provides that in the circumstances specified
in paragrah 1 of that Article , compensatoiy amounts are to be fixed for
fruit and vegetables ; whereas Article 66 of the said Act lays down the
criteria for fixing such amounts ;
Whereas under Council Regulation (EEC ) No 228/733 of 31 January 1973 laying
down general rules for the system of compensatory amounts for fruit and
vegetables , as amended by Regulation No 1365/734» ths compensatory amounts
for tomatoes are fixed by applying to the prices for tomatoes grown under
glass a conversion factor fixed at a standard figure to take account of the
differences between tomatoes grown under glass and tomatoes grown in the
open , to which the basic price relates ;

Whereas the Court of Justice of the European Communities in its judgment of
21 March 1974 declared void Council Regulation (EEC ) No 1365/^3 of
21 May 1973 in so far as it provided for a conversion factor to "be applied
to the producer price and thereby fixed the compensatory amounts appli­
cable by Ireland in respect of tomc.toes for deliveiy fresh to the consumer ;
Whereas undor Article 176 of the Treaty the Council is required to take the
necessary measures to comply with the judgment of the Court of Justice ;
whereas , therefore , the compensatory amounts given for that Member State in
the Annex to the Regulation in question should be replaced in respect of '
tomatoes by compensatory amounts fixed without applying a conversion factor
to the producer prices ;
Whereas , however , so as to avoid penalizing those importers who in 1973
imported tomatoes into Ireland during the period of application of the
compensatory amounts f provision should be made to prevent the new fixing
from affecting compensatory amounts already levied by that Member State on
imports ;
Whereas | as regards Denmark , the basic amounts applicable in respect of
tomatoes from 1974 to 1977 should be determined by reference to an initial
basic amount calculated without applying a conversion factor to the producer
price ;
