Proposal for a Council Regulation fixing the target prices and intervention prices for 
colza, rape and sunflower seed for the 1984/85 marketing year 
(84/C 62/14) 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN 
COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the Euro­
pean Economic Community, and in particular 
Article 43 thereof, 
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/ 
EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of 
a common organization of the market in oils and 
fats ('), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 
. .., and in particular Article 22 (4) thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commis­
sion, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Par­
liament, 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and 
Social Committee, 
Whereas, when the target prices and intervention 
prices for colza, rape and sunflower seed are fixed, 
account should be taken of the objectives of the 
common agricultural policy and of the contribution 
which the Community desires to make to the har­
monious 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 reasona­
ble 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, pursuant to Article 1 (2) of Council Regu­
lation (EEC) No 1593/83 (2), if Community produc­
tion of colza and rape seed recordecHn accordance 
with Article 24a of Regulation No 136/66/EEC 
exceeds a guarantee threshold, there is to be a 1 % 
reduction in the 1984/85 target and intervention 
prices for every 50 000 tonnes in excess of the guar­
antee threshold, up to a maximum of 5 %; whereas 
Article 1 (1) of Regulation (EEC) No 1593/83 fixes 
the guarantee threshold for the 1983/84 marketing 
year at 2 290 000 tonnes; whereas the actual average 
production recorded over the past three marketing 
years is 2 411 870 tonnes; whereas the target and 
intervention prices for the products in question 
should therefore be reduced by 2 % for the 1984/85 
marketing year; 
Whereas, in accordance with these criteria, the target 
and intervention prices should be fixed at a lower 
level, in the case of colza and rape seed and, in the 
case of sunflower seed, at a higher level than that 
adopted for the preceding marketing year; 
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 1983/84 marketing year 
meets these requirements and can accordingly be 
used for the following marketing year; whereas, 
experience has for some time shown the oil content 
of sunflower seed to be well below 40 %; whereas an 
adjustment as regards the oil content of sunflower 
seed of the standard quality is therefore required,

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN 
COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the Euro­
pean Economic Community, 
Having regard to Council Regulation No 136/66/ 
EEC of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of 
a common organization of the market in oils and 
fats ('), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) 
No ..., and in particular Article 25 thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commis­
sion, 
Whereas, in accordance with Article 25 of Regula­
tion No 136/66/EEC, the amount by which the 
target and intervention prices for colza, rape and 
sun-flower seed are increased monthly from the be­
ginning of the third month of the marketing year (a) with an impurity content of 2 % and, for seeds 
as such, moisture and oil contents of 9 and 40 % 
respectively in the case of colza and rape seed; 
(b) with an impurity content of 2 % and, for seeds 
as such, moisture and oil contents of 10 and 
42 % respectively in the case of sunflower seed. 
Article 3 
This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 
day following its publication in the Official Journal 
of the European Communities. 
It shall apply:

should be Fixed for the 1984/85 marketing year, and 
the number of months during which such increases 
are to be applied should be determined; whereas 
such amount must be the same for both prices; 
Whereas such increases must be the same for each 
month and be fixed by reference to average storage 
and interest charges recorded in the Community; 
whereas average storage charges should be deter­
mined on the basis of the cost of storing the seed in 
suitable premises and of the handling charges neces­
sary to keep the seed in good condition, whereas 
interest charges may be calculated on the basis of 
the rate considered as normal for the production 
areas,
