Cereals and rice in Portugal: common organisation of the market CMO (amend. Regulation (EEC) No 738/93)

PURPOSE : to amend Regulation 738/93/EEC amending the transitional measures governing the common organisation of the market in cereals and rice in Portugal as provided for by Regulation 3653/90/EEC. CONTENT : this proposal for a Regulation is a response to the Council's request as part of the 2000/01 prices package to continue in 2001/02 the level of special aid applicable in 2000/01 to Portuguese cereal producers. The adjustment to the special aid amounts concerns common wheat, maize, barley, rye, triticale and sorghum grown in Portugal and placed on the market by Portuguese producers during the period 1 June 2001 to 31 May 2002. The EAGGF finances 65% of the aid. The special aid situation for 2002/03 will be examined at a later date.�
