 At its meeting on 15.10.73 » "the Council , acting on the basis of a
 recommendation for a decision submitted to it by the Commission on
 16.7.73 , decided to grant 10 000 metric tons of soft wheat and. 5-000
 metric tons of rice to the Democratic Republic of Somalia as part of
 the Community 's 1971/72 food aid programme . The agreement on this aid
 has not yet been signed .
 By telex of 23.10.73 » "the Somali Embassi requested on behalf of its
 Government that , contrary to what had originally been requested the
 10 000 metric tons of soft wheat be supplied in the form of flour ,
"since it would be impossible to process the wheat locally'.'
 In view of the reasons given , the Commission considers that a favourable
 answer should be given to the request from Somalia . It recommends that
 the Council alter the text of the Draft recommendation for a Council
 decision on the conclusion of an agreement between the European Economic
 Community and the Democratic Republic of Somalia for the supply of flour
 of soft wheat and rice as food aid , in this sens amended .
