COMMISSION REGULATION (EEC) No 1725/82

of 30 June 1982

amending Regulation No 225/67/EEC on detailed rules for determining the world market price for oil seeds

THE COMMISSION OF THE EUROPEAN

COMMUNITIES,

Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community,

Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in oils and fats (1), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1413/82 (2),

Having regard to Council Regulation No 115/67/EEC of 6 June 1967 laying down criteria for determining world market prices for oilseeds and fixing the frontier crossing point (3), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 1779/81 (4), and in particular Article 7 thereof,

Whereas Commission Regulation No 225/67/EEC (5), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 3631/81 (6), set the costs for processing colza, rape and sunflower seed to be used for application of Articles 2 and 6 of Regulation No 115/67/EEC; whereas as these costs have increased the amounts given in Articles 5 and 8 of Regulation No 225/67/EEC should be adjusted accordingly;

Whereas Article 3 of Regulation No 225/67/EEC states that, where offers and quotations relate to a quality other than the standard quality for which the target price was fixed they shall be adjusted by the coefficients of equivalence given in the Annex to that Regulation;

Whereas the qualities of the colza, rape and sunflower seed imported from the main producer countries outside the Community are somewhat different from the qualities used to determine the coefficients of equivalence valid at the moment for seed from these countries; whereas coefficients of equivalence should be set to reflect the new position;

Whereas the measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Management Committee for Oils and Fats,

HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:
