COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) No 1034/77 of 17 May 1977 amending Regulation (EEC) No 1035/72 on the common organization of the market in fruit and vegetables and Regulation (EEC) No 2511/69 laying down special measures for improving the production and marketing of Community citrus fruit

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Whereas Articles 6 and 7 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 2511/69 of 9 December 1969 laying down special measures for improving the production and marketing of Community citrus fruit (4), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 793/76 (5), extended the granting of the marketing premium to include lemons until the end of the 1976/77 marketing year;
