COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 9/81 of 1 January 1981 concerning stocks of agricultural products in Greece on 1 January 1981
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to the 1979 Act of Accession, and in particular Article 72 (1) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Article 71 of the Act of Accession provides that any stock of products in free circulation in Greek territory on 1 January 1981 and which in quantity exceeds what may be considered representative of a normal carry-over must be eliminated by and at the expense of Greece;
Whereas it is not necessary to determine the stocks of certain products, either because of the nature of these products or because they are not financed through the European Agricultural Guidance and Guarantee Fund;
Whereas, for reasons relating to the management of agricultural markets, steps should be taken to prevent the elimination of the products referred to in Article 71 of the Act of Accession resulting in the creation of two parallel markets for one and the same product ; whereas the purpose of Article 71 may be achieved through financing measures;
Whereas the term "any stock of products" covers both public and private stocks;
Whereas criteria should be laid down whereby the quantity considered as a normal carry-over stock may be established ; whereas, to this end, due account should be taken of the requirements of the Greek market over periods which may vary with the nature of the products;
Whereas the stocks to be eliminated at the expense of Greece may, as a rule, be determined on the basis of data already available or on the basis of estimates ; whereas it would seem necessary, however, to provide for the organization of a survey,
