Mr. Gummer
The expected changes in the common support prices for the major commodities are set out in table I. In Germany and the Netherlands the green rates have not been changed and the support prices in national currencies will be modified by amounts corresponding to table I. In other member states supprt prices in national currencies will be further adjusted to take account of the green rate changes which are expected to be as set out in table II. The overall effect of these changes on production levels will depend also on other measures being applied such as the reduction in milk quotas, the cereals co-responsibility levy and changes related to cereals quality, as well as other factors including the weather.
