Proposal for a  
COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC)
laying down general rules for the system of accession compensatory  
amounts for eggs on account of the accession of Spain

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
In accordance with Article 72 of the Act of Accession, differences in price 
levels for agricultural products between the Community as constituted at 
31 December 1985 and Spain are to be offset by accession compensatory 
amounts. For eggs, such amounts are to be calculated in accordance with 
Article 116 of the Act, i.e. for basic products (eggs for consumption and eggs 
for hatching), on the basis of the compensatory amounts applicable to the 
quantity of feed-grain necessary for their production in the Community, and 
for the other products governed by the common organization of the market such 
amounts are to be derived from the compensatory amounts applicable to eggs in 
shell, with the help of coefficients to be determined.
Since the compensatory amounts for eggs should reflect the variation in cereal 
prices fixed by the Council for the basic products they should be fixed at a 
level equal to the amounts applicable to that quantity of feed-grain. For the 
other products^ the coefficients for deriving them should be those used for 
calculating the levies. Under the terms of Regulation (EEC) No /86 on 
application of the ACAs in trade in glucose, lactose, ovalbumin and 
lactalbumin (proposal) the compensatory amounts for albumins are to be 
calculated in corresponding fashion using the same coefficients as for 
calculation of the imp££t charge. It is proposed that the Commission should 
adopt the compensatory amounts for all the products in the sector, including 
albumins, in accordance with the management committee procedure.
As in the case of previous accessions, provision should be made to ensure th 
smooth functioning of the common organization of the market, and in particul 
in the case of adjustments to the ACAs applicable to feed-grain and in cases 
where the refund is less than the compensatory amount or where no refund is 
f ixed.

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES,
Having regard to the Treaty, establishing, the. European Economic Community,

Whereas, pursuant to Article 72 of the Act, differences in he price levels for 
agricultural products between the Community as constituted at 31 December 1985 
and Spain are to be offset by a system of compensatory amounts; whereas for 
eggs such compensatory amounts are to be calculated in accordance with Article 
115 of the Act;
Whereas the compensatory amount applicable per kilogram of eggs in shell must 
be calculated on the basis of the compensatory amounts applicable to the 
quantity of feed-grain necessary for the production in the Community of one 
kilogram of eggs in shell; whereas that quantity of feed-grain was fixed in 
Annex I to Council Regulation (EEC) No 2773/75 of 29 October 1975 laying down 
rules for calculating the levy and the sluice-gate price for eggs (1);
Whereas the compensatory amount applicable per egg for hatching is to be 
calculated according to the same criteria;
Whereas the compensatory amounts applicable to feed-grain were fixed in 
accordance with Council Regulation (EEC) No / of 1986
laying down general rules for the system of accession compensatory amounts for 
the cereals sector (2);

(2) OJ No L ,  p.

-  2 -
Whereas compensatory amounts are intended to prevent disturbance in trade as a 
result of price differences; whereas there is accordingly no necessity to 
apply compensatory amounts where there is no fear of such disturbance;
Whereas, for the other products covered by Council Regulation (EEC) No 2771/75 
of 29 October 1975 on the common organization of the market in eggs (3), the 
compensatory amount must be derived from the compensatory amount applicable to 
eggs in shell, with the help of coefficients to be determined;
Whereas, pursuant to Article 6 of Regulation (EEC) No /8b, the levying or
granting of compensatory amounts applicable to cereals may be restricted to 
deal with the eventuality referred to in Article 72(5) of the Act; whereas 
account must be taken of such a restriction for products in the eggs sector, 
insofar as they are products derived from cereals, to ensure the smooth 
functioning of the common organization of the market;
Whereas rules should be laid down for the levying and granting of compensatory 
amounts in order to prevent any deflection of trade,
