EEC Variable levies Banana flour Lit 350 per kg. Coffee extract Lit 2,070 per kg. Processed foodstuffs UNITED KINGDOM: United Kingm exporters are adversely affected, not ^nly by the incidence of tho levy on the sugar, milk or cereal content of processed foodstuffs but also by the general uncertainty which the system has created. In particular: COM.IND/6/,;dd.5, page 32 COM.IND/6/Add.5, page pec(69)71/Add.l, page 7;

10 because of the frequent changes in the variable elements, manufacturers experience difficulty in calculating their intended market prices and their forward planning is hampered; information about changes in the levy rates is often not available promptly; there appear to be different interpretations of the regulations in the several member countries and because of this manufacturers have run into unexpected problems. For example, there have been difficulties with the German authorities in agreeing how the raw materials content of goods should be determined. Also EEC exporters receive institutions based on the size of the variable levies on imports. United Kingm exports of confectionery have been most seriously affected, but the régime has caused considerable difficulties for United Kingm exports of a number of other products, including biscuits and lemon curd.

11 1 2 EEC (cont'd) Processed foods with ; fruit or vegetable case UNITED KINGEOM: The EEC has also recently published proposals to extend variable levies to all processed foods with a fruit or vegetable base. These include such items as canned fruit and vegetables, jams and marmalades, fruit juices and pickles. The most important item for the United Kingm is jam and marmalade (exports to the EEC were worth 343,000 in 1966). These regulations are due to come into force in July i960.
