THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (1),

Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (2),

Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Comittee (3),

Whereas, on account of the special situation of potato starch and in particular the connection between the raw materials used for the preparation of starches and the interchangeability of such products, Article 8 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 1766/92 of 30 June 1992 on the common organization of the market in cereals (4) provides for all necessary measures to be taken in this sector;

Whereas the specific structural constraints on the starch manufacturing sector warrant a corrective measure in favour of this sector;

Whereas such compensation may be provided through the payment of an appropriate special premium; whereas the granting of such a premium in respect of the starch manufacturing sector must be conditional upon payment of the minimum price to the potato producer;

Whereas the starch manufacturing industry in the Community should be given a clear indication of the premium level to be paid over a period of three marketing years, whilst however it is admitted that the Council must take measures if the normal production level is exceeded,
