Economic Community, and in particular Article 43 
thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament, 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social 
Committee, 
Whereas the varieties of colza and rape seed with a low 
glucosinolate content known as 'double zero' varieties, 
provide oilcakes more suitable for the feeding of animals than 
those obtained from traditional varieties; whereas the 
production of 'double zero' seeds in the Community should 
be encouraged; 
Whereas the aforesaid aim may be reached by providing for 
the fixing of a supplement to the target and intervention 
prices; whereas, therefore, Council Regulation No 
136/66/EEC (*), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) 
No , should be amended accordingly; 
Whereas the guarantee threshold arrangement for colza, rape 
and sunflower seed specified in Article 24 a of Regulation No 
136/66/EEC has not given the results anticipated; whereas 
it should be altered and the exact aid amount and 
intervention purchase price made dependent on the amount 
by which the quantity of seed produced during the marketing 
year exceeds that set, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION: 
Article 1 2. The amount of the supplement shall be fixed in 
such a way as to improve the Community's supply of 
"double zero" seeds. 
It shall be fixed by the Council at the same time as the 
target and intervention prices and in accordance with the 
same procedure. 
3. The detailed rules for the application of this 
Article, more especially the conditions with which seeds 
must comply in order to qualify as "double zero" 
varieties, shall be adopted in accordance with the 
procedure laid down in Article 38.' 
2. The last sentence of the first subparagraph of Article 
26(1) shall read: 
'Without prejudice to the provisions of Article 27 a, 
buying shall be at intervention price and at that price 
only.' 
3. Article 27 (1) is replaced by the following: 
'Article 27 
1. If the target price for a type of seed is higher than 
the world market price determined as specified in Article 
29, aid shall be granted for seed harvested and processed 
in the Community. Subject to exceptions decided on 
under paragraph 3 and without prejudice to the 
provisions of Article 27 a, the aid shall be the difference 
between these prices. 
The aid to be granted for "double zero" colza and rape 
seed shall be determined on the basis of the target price 
increased by the supplement provided for in Article 24 
Regulation No 136/66/EEC is hereby amended as 
follows: 
1. Article 24 a shall read: 
'Article 24 a 
1. For colza and rape seed of the "double zero" 
varieties the target and intervention prices shall, for the 
1986/87 and subsequent marketing years, be increased 
by a supplement. 4. The following Article 27 a is inserted: 
'Article 27 a 
1. The Council, acting in accordance with the 
procedure laid down in Article 43 (2) of the Treaty, shall 
fix, for each marketing year beginning with 1986/87, 
maximum guaranteed quantities of Community colza 
and rape seed and Community sunflower seed. 
(») OJ No 172, 30. 9. 1966, 3025/66. 2. The maximum guaranteed quantities for colza, 
rape and sunflower seed shall be determined on the basis 
14. 4. 86 Official Journal of the European Communities No C 85/15 
of production during a reference period and the forward 
estimate of demand. 
3. If the amount of colza and rape or of sunflower 
seed produced during a marketing year exceeds the 
guaranteed quantity set for that year the aid shall be 
reduced by application of a coefficient obtained by 
dividing the set quantity by the quantity produced. 
4. Should paragraph 3 be applied, the intervention 
purchase price shall be reduced by the same amount as 
that by which the aid has been reduced. 
5. The procedure laid down in Article 3 8 shall be used 
for the adoption of provisions for the implementation of 
this Article.'
