COMMISSION  OF THE  EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES 
COM(83) 360 final 
Brussels,  16 June 1983 
Proposal for a 
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC) 
amending  Regulation  (EEC) No  1724/80  adopting general  rules 
concerning  special  measures  for soya beans 
(submitted  to the  Council by the Commission) 
COM(83) 360 final 

EXPLANATORY  MEMORANDUM 
In the price proposals  for the  1983/84  marketing year,  the Commission 
undertook  to put  forward  rules for a definitive  scheme for Boya beans 
harvested  in the  Community. 
On 3 July 1980 the  Council adopted,  on an  experimental  basis,  Regulation  (EEC) 
No 1724/80  adopting general  rules concerning  special  measures for  soya beans 
harvested  in 1980. The  general  rules were renewed for  1981 and 1982. 
Experience gained over  the three years  has proved ±y-? effectiveness  of the 
rules. They should therefore  be made permanent. 
It should be noted that with  effect  from the 1982/83  harvest exceptional 
arrangements  were adopted  on an  experimental basis  for soya beans harvested  in 
the French overseas  departments.  Since these  arrangements  take account  of the 
specific  situation  with regard  to the  production  and marketing structure  of 
soya beans in the  overseas  departments,  they should continue  to apply until 
the situation  in those areas allows  a definitive  scheme to be applied. 
Since the object of this proposal  is simply to prolong  the general  rules for 
determining  and controlling  the measures  in question,  it has no  financial 
implications. 

Draft 
proposal for 
COUNCIL REGULATION  (EEC) 
amending  Regulation (EEC) No  1724/80  adopting general  rules concerning 
special measures  for soya  beans 
THE COUNCIL  OP THE EUROPEAN  COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty  establishing  the European  Economic  Community, 
Having regard to Council Regulation (EEC) No  1614/79  of 24 July  1979 laying 
down special  measures  in respect of soya  beans  (l), c.3 amended  by Regulation 
(EEC) No  1984/82  (2), and in  particular  Article  2(4) thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal  from the Commission, 
Whereas  Council  Regulation  (EEC) No  1724/80  (3), as  last amended  by Regulation  (EEC) 
No 2549/82  (4), adopted  general  rules for the aid  system  for soya  beans 
harvested in 1980, 1981 and 1982; 
Whereas  experience gained during the period of implementation of the  measures 
has allowed an  assessment  to be made of the effectiveness  thereof; 
whereas  the rules laid down in Regulation (EEC) No  1724/80  should therefore be 
made definitive; 
Whereas  Regulation (EEC) No  1984/82  amended  Regulation (EEC) No  1614/79  by 
laying down derogating  measures  for soya  beans harvested in the French 
overseas  departments  from the 1982/83  harvest  onwards  in order to take account 
of the specific  situation  with regard to production and marketing structures 
in those departments;  whereas  the derogating  measures  should continue to 
apply for so long as the  specific  situation  exists, 
HAS ADOPTED  THIS REGULATION  :
