Recommends that the Committee of Ministers should
cause meetings of the Ministers for Agriculture in Member States
to take place with a view to :
a Setting
up an appropriate organ for the establishment of a register of available
and exportable products, together with an analysis of agricultural
markets and putting this information at the disposal of agricultural producers
in every country.
b Concluding long-term Agreements, product by product, which
will allow of a better and immediate organisation of agricultural
markets, avoiding all excessive protection and leading to a development
of production and consumption.
c Completing these Agreements based on forecasts of average
production by concerted measures that allow, on the one hand, for
the re-absorption of stocks that are accidentally and abnormally
high and, on the other hand, afford help to a Member State in the
case of accidental and abnormal deficiencies in its stocks.
d Particularly taking into consideration the case of countries
whose economy is based almost exclusively on agriculture, such as
Greece and Turkey, where traditional markets have been particularly
affected by political upheavels in Europe, and especially with regard
to the tobacco market.
e Giving particular consideration to the dependence of the
United Kingdom on the supply of imported food, which makes it necessary
for that country to take exceptional measures to encourage both
its domestic agriculture and horticulture, and the importation of
foodstuffs from the British Commonwealth and Empire.
