THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) N° 1431/82 of 18 May 1982 laying down special measures for peas, field beans and sweet lupins (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) N° 1104/88 (2), and in particular Article 2 (1) and (5) and Article 3 (3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission (3),
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament (4),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee (5),
Whereas Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) N° 1431/82 provides that a price activating the aid for peas, field beans and sweet lupins must be fixed for soya cake at a level which, while ensuring a fair income for producers, enables peas, field beans and sweet lupins to compete normally with soya cake for use in animal feed;
Whereas this activating price for aid for peas, field beans and sweet lupins must relate to a standard quality of soya cake which is representative of the average quality sold on the Community market;
Whereas Article 2 (3) of Regulation (EEC) N° 1431/82 provides that the guide price for peas and field beans for human consumption must be fixed at a level which is fair to producers, taking account of the Community's supply requirements; whereas this price must be for a standard quality;
Whereas Article 3 of Regulation (EEC) N° 1431/82 provides for the fixing of a minimum price which, allowing for market fluctuations and for the cost of transport of the products from producer to processor, enables producers to obtain a fair return,
