COMMISSION  REGULATION (EEC) No 1759/83
of 29 June 1983
amending Regulation (EEC) No 1728/70 fixing the scales of price increases and reductions for raw tobacco
THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN
COMMUNITIES
,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 of 21 April 1970 on the common organization of the market in raw tobacco (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1461/82 (2), and in particular Articles 5 (6) and 6 (10) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1728/70 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2728/81 (4), fixed the scales of price increases and reductions for leaf and baled tobacco; whereas in those scales the variety Forchheimer Havanna II c, originally inserted under serial No 1, was inserted under serial No 11 on account of its similarity to the varieties which were inserted under that serial number although the scales provided for these varieties were not amended on that occasion;
Whereas for that variety significant changes have taken place during recent harvests both as regards commercial practices and the relevant volume of production, with the result that the production of Forchheimer Havanna II c variety is now greater than that of the other varieties inserted under serial No 11; whereas it seems appropriate therefore to amend the scales of price increases and reductions provided for in respect of the varieties inserted under serial No 11 in the light of the specific situation of the abovementioned variety;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Tobacco,
