COMMISSION OF THE  EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES 
COM(83) 313 final 
Brussels,  31 May  1983 
Proposal  for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) 
amending  Regulation  (EEC) No 2036/82  adopting  general  rules 
concerning  special  measures  for peas and field beans 
(submitted  to the  Council  by the  Commission) 
COM(83)  313 final 

EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 
On 16 May 1983 the Council amended Regulation (EEC) No 1431/82 laying down 
special  measures for peas and field beans in order to adjust the aid payable 
in certain  cases  where the peas and field beans are used as animal feed 
without  further  processing* 
This  proposal is designed to amend Regulation (EEC) No 2036/83 accordingly* 
It is proposed  that  at the same time the requirement whereby the production 
declaration must be countersigned by the producer should be dispensed  with 
since  it has led to difficulties of an administrative nature in the Member 
States. 
Since  the proposal is a natural follow-up to the amendment to Regulation 
(EEC)  No 1431/82 which the Council has already adopted and which will lead to 
an esitmated reduction in expenditure of 1,25 million ECU per year, no new 
financial implications are involved* 

Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) 
amending  Regulation (EECJ No  2036/82  adopting general 
rules concerning  special  measures  for peas and field beans 
THE COUNCIL  OP THE EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty  establishing  the European  Economic  Community, 
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No  1431/82  of 18 May 1982  laying 
down special  measures  for peas and field beans  (l), as amended  by Regulation 
(EEC) No 1225 /83 (2),and in  particular  Article  3(5) and  Article  4 thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal  from the Commission, 
Whereas  Article  4(1) of Council  Regulation  (EEC) No  2036/82  (3)  lays  down  that  in 
cases where the products are  sold by the producer the  first purchaser  must 
lodge with the  agency  appointed by the  Member  State a  declaration 
countersigned by the producer  certifying  the quantity  actually  delivered  by 
the latter;  whereas  experience has  shown that some agencies are experiencing 
difficulties  on account of the requirement that the declarations be 
countersigned by the producer;  whereas  that requirement should therefore be 
dispensed with; 
Whereas  under  Article  4(2) the  agency  appointed by the  Member  State is 
required  to verify  that the producer has obtained at  least the minimum  price; 
whereas,  in the  interests  of sound management  and in order to avoid any 
misunderstanding,  the date to be  used  for  calculating  the  minimum  price 
should  be  specified; 
Whereas  Regulation  (EEC) No  1225/83  amends  the  conditions  for  entitlement  to 
Community  aid;  whereas  Regulation  (EEC) No  2036/82  should  be  amended 
accordingly,
