The Community apple harvest in respect of the 1977/ 78 marketing year amounts to
about 5*200*000 tonnes , a decrease of about 22% compared with average harvests over
preceding years .
Producer prioes t on the other hand , are particularly higfr in    the Member States
and are often double those reoorded at the same time in the preceding marketing
year .
It appears that a total suspension of the autonomous Common Customs Tariff duties ,
whioh in respeot of this period eunount to 14$» could remedy this state of affairs
and facilitate supplies to the Community of a product in great consumer demand .
Such tariff suspension need be applied only until 31 Deoember 1977 » i«e « until
oranges and mandarins are in fall season.
