peas and field beans must be fixed for soya cake at 
a level which, while ensuring a fair income for 
producers, enables peas and field beans to compete 
normally with soya cake for use in animal feed; 
Whereas this activating price for aid for peas and 
field beans must relate to a standard quality of soya 
cake which is representative of the average quality 
sold on the Community market; 
Whereas Article 3 of the same Regulation 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,

for aid for peas and field beans, as referred to in 
Article 2 of Regulation (EEC) No 1431/82, shall be
