taken of the objectives of the common agricultural policy and 
of the contribution which the Community desires to make to 
the harmonious development of world trade; whereas the 
objectives of the common agricultural policy are, in 
particular, to ensure a fair standard of living for the 
agricultural Community, to ensure that supplies are available 
and that they reach consumers at reasonable prices; 
Whereas the intervention price must be fixed in accordance 
with the criteria laid down in Article 24 (1) of Regulation 
No 136/66/EEC; 
Whereas the prices of colza, rape and sunflower seed must be 
fixed for specific standard qualities; whereas the latter should 
be laid down in relation to the average qualities of the seeds 
harvested in the Community; whereas, for colza and rape 
seed the quality laid down for the 1985/86 marketing year 
meets these requirements and can accordingly be used for 
1986/87; whereas for sunflower seed the quality laid down 
for the 1985/86 marketing year can be retained for 1986/87
