Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas, taking into account the considerable increase in sunflower seed production over the last few years, the development in trade in sunflower seed between the Member States, the present monetary situation and the absence of compensatory amounts, normal marketing conditions for sunflower seed cannot apply; whereas there is a consequent risk to the Member States of the market in sunflower seed becoming disorganized;
Whereas these difficulties should be avoided by extending to sunflower seed the system of differential amounts levied or granted on processed or exported colza or rape seed introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 1569/72 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 852/78 (4),
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
Article 1
Regulation (EEC) No 1569/72 is hereby amended as follows:
1. In the title, the terms 'for colza and rape seed' shall be replaced by 'for colza, rape and sunflower seed'.
2. Article 1 shall be replaced by the following:
'Article 1
Member States shall, under the conditions hereinafter laid down, levy or grant differential amounts on colza, rape and sunflower seed harvested in the Community that is processed for oil or exported with a refund.'
3. Article 6 shall be replaced by the following:
'Article 6
Colza, rape and sunflower seed harvested in a Member State may be offered for intervention only on the territory of that Member State.'
Article 2
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third day following its publication in the Official Journal of the European Communities.
It shall apply from 1 August 1982.
As far as sunflower seed is concerned, point 2 of Article 1 shall apply:
- if the aid has not been fixed in advance, only to seeds for which the application for the ID part of the 'Community subsidy' certificate was lodged on or after the date of application of this Regulation,
- if the aid has been fixed in advance, only to seeds for which the application for the AP part of the 'Community subsidy' certificate was lodged on or after the date of application of this Regulation.
This Regulation shall be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States.

Whereas pursuant to Article 2 (2) of Regulation (EEC) No 315/68 Member States may be authorized to take measures derogating from certain requirements of the quality standards in order to allow exporters to meet the trade requirements of certain non-member countries;
Whereas the plant health measures in force in Japan require that imported Hyacinthus orientalis bulbs be grown for at least one year before being allowed on the market; whereas during that year the size of the Hyacinthus orientalis bulbs increases by at least 2 cm;

Whereas there is no likelihood of the abolition of the existing plant-health measures in Japan; whereas the measures provided in Regulation (EEC) No 2737/77 should therefore be reintroduced;
Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Live Plants,

Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No 804/68 of 27 June 1968 on the common organization of the market in milk and milk products (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1335/86 (2), and in particular Article 6 (7) thereof,
Whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 3143/85 (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1741/86 (4), introduced a scheme for the sale at reduced prices of intervention butter for direct consumption in the form of concentrated butter;
Whereas Article 4 (4) of Regulation (EEC) No 3143/85 set time limits for the processing of butter into concentrated butter and the packaging thereof; whereas Commission Regulation (EEC) No 1325/86 (5) introduced a derogation from the time limit for contracts concluded before 1 May 1986, since the unfavourable trend in sales of concentrated butter meant that operators could not meet the time limit without running a considerable commercial risk, given their obligation under national provisions to display on packs a final date for use; whereas the advertising campaign just launched to promote the use of concentrated butter will not produce results for some time; whereas the time limit for contracts concluded before 1 May 1986 should therefore be further extended so that operators can benefit from the campaign;
