COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1877/80 of 15 July 1980 amending Regulation (EEC) No 2742/75 on production refunds in the cereals and rice sectors

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2727/75 of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in cereals (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1870/80 (2), and in particular Article 11 (4) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,

Whereas prices of the raw material used for products competing with starch products have undergone more pronounced changes than those of the raw materials used for making starch ; whereas this development justifies a reduction in production refunds;

Whereas, however, in order that greater account may be taken of developments in the general economic situation of the potato starch sector, it has been considered necessary to increase the premium laid down for that sector;

Whereas it is necessary to fix the minimum price payable by the starch producer to the potato grower, in the light, particularly, of the prices obtaining at the start of the 1980/81 marketing year,
