EXPLANATORX MÉMORANDUM
1.Incontrast toproduction ofother agricultural products production of
seeds isformost species characterised byamulti-annual cycle .Itisfor
this reason that inaccordance with the previsions ofRegulation (SRC )Mo
235S /71of26October 1371 ontha consaon organization ofthe market in
seeds aproduction aid for basic and certified seeds isfised every two
years before 1August for themarketing year beginning the following year
and themarketing year following that .Aid isgranted ifthe situation on
the Community market inseeds and its foreseeable development issuch that
afair income cannot beensured toproducers .Inview ofthe existence of
this arrangement the proposal fixing aid for the 1984 /85and 198S /86
marketing years was not included inthe proposals contained inthe "prices
package "covering the 1983 /84marketing year only .
2.The 1982 harvest isestimated tobebetween 2500 000 quintals ,i.e. a
level near tothat ofthe previous harvest of2800 000 quintals .
Production ofgrasses isassessed at1000 000 quintals and that oflegumes
atapproximately 1500 000 quintals .
3.The Community covers its own requirements formost species grown ,demand
being estimated atapproximately 1700 000 quintals .But although there
isasurplus for certain legumes there isashortfall for other species
(Trifolium repens ,Vicia sativa ,Phleum pratense ,etc.), 250 000 quintals
ofwhich are imported into the Coisamunity .
4.Prices onthe Conmunity market are high atthemoment since supplies from
New Zealand have been reduced owing toapoor harvest there .
5.For the 1984 /85and 198S /86marketing years itisproposed tomake a
general increase of10*t inthe aid totake account ofincreased production
costs .
Exceptions are proposed however for anumber ofspecies ,forwhich the aid
will withdrawn ,frozen orincreased bymore than 10% .Itisproposed to
withdraw aid for Pisum sativum and Vicia faba inview ofthe increase in
production ofthese two species and the support they are given under
Council Regulation (SBC )No1431 /82laying down special measures for peas
andfield beans .Afreeze onthe aid for the species Dsctylis glomerata
andPhleum pratense isproposed inview ofthehigh level ofaidalrsady
granted for them .

-2-
lacrosses of15% are proposed for irifollusi repass ,Trifoliusu rspsna
giga&tausa a&dKswicuc© sativa Cecotypes ).Yislds parheaters ofthefirst
twobpaciad acs yesry low ©alias toh&rvastlag pro&loaa .For thesc&typas of
Mecic&gc ssfciva itisnecessary tobring the l®vel ofthe aid closer to
that for the varieties ofthe species asthe difference between the two
aids istoo large atthemoment .
Lastly for the new species inserted inthe Annex ofRegulation (EEC )No
2358 /71for the 1983 /84marketing year itisproposed tokeep the aid for
the next two marketing years atthe level fixed atthe moment asitistoo
early toassess how the situation will develop .
6.Despite the abovementioned increases the cost tothe budget ofthe sector
will drop byapproximately 8billion ECU because ofthe withdrawal ofVicia
Faba and Pisum sativum from the list ofspecies for which aid isgiven .

and1985 /86 marketing years
