Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),
Whereas the Commission has proposed to the Council a reform of the Community rules in the sector of raw tobacco; whereas it is not certain that this proposal can be adopted in time to be applied for the 1992 harvest; whereas, therefore, certain  provisions of Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 (3) should be amended in anticipation of the introduction of the new arrangements for the 1993 harvest;

The fourth subparagraph of Article 4 (5) of Regulation (EEC) No 727/70 shall be replaced by the following:
