Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas Regulation (EEC) No 2742/75 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1569/83 (4), fixes the premiums to be paid to producers of potato starch in 1983/84 ; whereas the premium is intended to take account of the special position of the potato starch industry in relation to other sectors of the starch industry ; whereas, since the relative situation of the starch industries has not significantly changed over the last marketing year, the premium for the potato starch sector should be maintained at its present level in 1984/85;
Whereas, as from the beginning of the 1984/85 marketing year, the market price for rice will go down by approximately 1 % ; whereas the maize starch industry would thus enjoy an advantage, in terms of competition, over potato starch;
Whereas the balanced relationship between the production prices for the raw materials used for the manufacture of maize starch and potato starch should be maintained ; whereas the minimum price for potatoes, to be paid by the potato starch industry to potato producers, should therefore be reduced,
In Article 3 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 2742/75, "269,50 ECU" is hereby replaced by "266,81 ECU".
