REGULATION (EEC) No 1569/72 OF THE COUNCIL of 20 July 1972 laying down special measures for colza and rape seed

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community;

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 136/66/EEC1 of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats, as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 2727/71,2 and in particular Article 36 thereof;

Having regard to the proposal from the Commission;

Whereas in the present monetary situation and in the absence of compensation colza and rape seed harvested in the Community cannot be marketed under normal conditions ; whereas for Member States there is a risk of disorganizing the market in these seeds;

Whereas it seems justified to prevent these difficulties by providing for the application of a system of differential amounts to be levied or granted for seeds which are processed or exported ; whereas these differential amounts must take account of the incidence of the rate of exchange on the prices of seeds in different Member States;

Whereas to resolve the difficulties mentioned above intervention in Germany and Benelux should also be restricted to seed harvested in each of these countries respectively;

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

Article 1

Member States shall, under the conditions hereinafter laid down, levy or grant differential amounts for colza and rape seed harvested in the Community during the 1972/73 marketing year and processed for oil or exported.

Article 2

1. The differential amounts shall be determined taking into account the incidence on the prices of the percentage representing the difference between: - the par value of the currency of the Member State in question which has been communicated to and recognized by the International Monetary Fund and

2. The differential amounts shall be fixed initially in accordance with the procedure laid down in Article 38 of Regulation No 136/66/EEC.

Article 3

If the difference referred to in Article 2 (1) departs by at least 1 point from the percentage used for the previous fixing the differential amounts shall be amended by the Commission on the basis of the new difference.

Article 4

1. The differential amounts shall be levied or granted by the Member States in which the processing of the seeds or customs export formalities take place.
