EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS :
Thecommon organization ofthemarket inpoultrymeat established
byCouncil Regulation (EEC)No.2777 /75consists inthemain ofa
system oflevies andsluice-gate prices calculated onthebasis
oftheprices offeed grain . --
Toestablish theamount ofthelevy andthe level ofthesluice -
gate price foreach product ,thequantity ofcereals required for
theproduction ofone kilogram ofproduct ,must bedetermined ,to­
gether with .theother production andmarketing costs .
.Counci IRegulation (EEC)No.2778 /75laid down the rules forsuch
calculations andfixed theprocessing coefficients (quantities of
cereals )and the standard amounts (other costs )forwhole slaugh­
tered poultry and for chicks . -
Itwould nowappear that' /some adjustments should bemade tqthe
rules totake account ofrecent changes inproduction andmarketing
conditions . -
Thus forslaughtered turkeys ,market developments demonstrate the
necessity ofintroducing twocommercial presentations :''roasting -
80%"and "grilling <-73%",these twocommercial presentations .
covering products ofsignificantly different value .■- ''■
Forthese twopresentations ,processing coefficients andstandard .
amounts areproposed ,aswell asthenewtext under subheading
02.02 AIVofthe C.C.T. ' ~

Itisalso proposed toincrease the standard amount for slaughtered
ducks and geese „Forthese products the augmentation ofgeneral
costs could not becompensated byanimprovement inthe conditions
ofproduction and commercialization *

Whereas these elements have been fixed for turkeys without regard to
different commercial presentations ;
that theevolution ofthe trade shows thenecessity ofintroducing two
different commercial presentations ;
that itistherefore necessary tofix,forthese twopresentations ,the
elements for calculating the levy and the sluice-gate price ;
Whereas theexamination of-theavailable data concerning thetechnical
performance andgeneral costs ,indicates theneed toestablish the
elements ofcalculation asfollows :
-processing coefficient ,used for calculating the levy :
1:2.338 forslaughtered turkeys ,plucked anddrawn ,without heads
and feet ,with hearts ,liversand gizzards ,hereinafter
called "80%turkeys "; •
and
1:2.562 forslaughtered turkeys ,plucked anddrawn ,with neither

and gizzards ,hereinafter called "73%turkeys ";
-processing coefficient ,used forcalculating thesluice-gate price :
1:2.275 for 80%turkeys ;
1:2.493 for 73%turkeys ;
-standard amount :
1.1875 ECUperk-Rogramme for80%turkeys ;
1.3013 ECUperkilogramme for73%turkeys ;
Whereas forcertain species ,especially ducks ,geese andturkeys ,an
increase inthegeneral costs isnoted which hasnotbeen compensated
byanimprovement inthe conditions ofproduction andcommercialization ;
that forthis reason itisappropriate toadjust thestandard amounts for
these products ;
