                     REGULATION ( EEC) OF THE COUNCIL
            amending Regulation ( EEC) No 229/73 as regards the

                       be applied thereto for cereals

1. Under Article 55(2 ) of the Act concerning the Conditions of Accession
   and the Adjustments to the Treaties , the "accession" compensatory amounts
   for those products for which derived intervention prices are fixed in
   the Hew Member States are to equal the difference between the prices
   fi;:3d for the new Member State concerned and the common prices . As
   regards cereals , these provisions apply to common wheat and barley for
   which intervention prices are fixed in all the new Member States .
   The marketing centres and the prices applicable therein for the 1974/75
   marketing year have been given in Regulation (EEC ) No 1128/74 and the
   draft Regulation establishing certain marketing centres for cereals and
   the derived intervention prices applicable therein for the 1974/75
   season . Among these centres are those where the prices have served as a
   basis for the calculation of the "accession" compensatory amounts .
   In accordance with the rules laid down in Article 52(2 ), ( a) of the Act ,
   these prices should be aligned with the level of common prices for the
   marketing year 1974/75 * I*1 accordance with Article 55(2 ) of the Act the
   difference between these prices and the common prices equals the "accession"
   compensatory amount which is applicable for common wheat and barley during
   the marketimg yeat 1974/75 •
2. In respect of those cereals for which no intervention prices have been
   fired in the new Member States , the rules for the calculation and alignment
   of compensatory amounts , were , pursuant to the Act of Accession , laid down
   by Council Regulation (EEC ) No 229/73(2 ) whereby the compensatory amounts
   for these products are to be calculated by applying coefficients to the
   compensatory amounts that are valid for the reference cereal . These coeffi­
   cients were determined on the basis of prices or price ratios in the new
   Member States . Accordingly , Article 2(2) of the said Regulation provides
   for a progressive adjustment of these coefficients in accordance with the
   timetable laid down in Article 52(2 ) of the Act (6 stages ), alignment , that
   is , with the existing ratio between Community threshold prices . The appli­
   cation of a coefficient to the compensatory amount which is fixed for the
   reference cereal , taking into account the variations in common prices , and
   the progressive alignment of the coefficients with the threshold price
   ratio for the new marketing year , constitute , rules which enable the second
   sta^ge of alignment to be achieved .

Article 55(2 ) of the Act , these amounts correspond to the difference between
prices established in the new Member State concerned and the common prices ;
Whereas , in accordance with Article 52 of the Act , existing prices in the new
Member States must be aligned with the level of the common prices in six stages ;
whereas , for the marketing year 1974/75 » "the result of this alignment is the
prices for common wheat and barley that are dealt with in Council Regulation
(EEC) No 1128/74 ^ of 29 April 19745 determining for the 1974/75 marketing
year the single intervention prices for barley , rye , durum wheat and maize
and the principal * marketing centres for common wheat and the derived inter­
vention prices applicable at those centres and in Commission Regulation (EEC )
No       /74      of           1974 establishing certain marketing centres for
cereals and the derived intervention prices applicable therein for the
1974/75 season; whereas , in accordance with Article 55(2 ) of the Act , the
difference between these prices and the common prices equals the " accession"
compensatory amount that is valid for the new marketing year;
