(Submitted by the Commission to the Council on 2 June 1986) 
(86/C 151/06) 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community, and in particular Article 235 
thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European Par­
liament, 
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and 
Social Committee, 
Whereas Council Decision 85/8/EEC (') enables the 
application of a programme of action to combat poverty; 
Whereas that Decision enabled the implementation of 
specific Community action covering the period 1985 to 
1988 in 10 Member States; Whereas, following the accession of Spain and Portugal, 
this Community action at present in progress should be 
extended to involve those two new Member States; 
Whereas, therefore, specific measures as envisaged in 
Article 1 of Decision 85/8/EEC should be implemented 
to aid disadvantaged persons in those two Member 
States; 
Whereas the funds estimated as necessary to implement 
the measures referred to in the aforementioned Decision 
should be increased in consequence, 
HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS: 
Sole Article 
In Article 2 of Decision 85/8/EEC, the first paragraph is 
hereby replaced by the following: 
'The funds estimated as necessary to implement the 
measures referred to in Article 1 amount to 29 
million ECU for four years (1985 to 1988).'

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community, and in particular Articles 42 and 
43 thereof, 
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission, 
Having regard to the opinion of the European 
Parliament, 
Whereas Article 3 of Council Regulation (EEC) No 
1431/82 ('), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 
1485/85 (2), lays down that an aid is to be granted under 
certain circumstances for the products in question; 
whereas this aid depends, according to the use of the 
products, on the average world market price for soya 
cake or the average world market price for peas and 
field beans; whereas these prices, as determined in 
accordance with Article 4 (1) and (2) of the said Regu­
lation, should not be the arithmetic means of several 
prices which would hide the actual development of the 
market, but rather prices that represent average market trends; whereas the word 'average' in the expressions 
'average world market price for soya cake' and 'average 
world market price for peas and field beans' could give 
rise to difficulties of interpretation which should be 
avoided, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

In Articles 3(1) and (2) and 4(1) of Regulation (EEC) 
No 1431/82, 'average' is deleted.

1035/72 of 18 May 1972 on the common organization 
of the market in fruit and vegetables ('), as last amended 
by Regulation (EEC) No 1351/86 (2), provides that 
preventive withdrawals may be authorized for apples and

a collapse of the market; whereas that mechanism was 
introduced for a temporary period expiring on 30 June

"Whereas experience gained over eight marketing years 
has shown that the system of preventive withdrawals has 
fully played the part it was given in stabilizing prices by preventing surpluses from affecting the market during 
the marketing years and from damaging it seriously; 
whereas, however, that system has not provided an 
incentive to the structural overproduction of apples; 
whereas the system introduced by Regulation (EEC) No 
325/79 (3) and extended by Regulation (EEC) No 1738/ 
82 (") must accordingly be renewed without any limit on 
its duration; whereas the possibility of using that system

ANNEX IV 
Proposal for a Council Decision concerning a contribution to the European Coal and Steel 
Community from the general budget of the European Communities to finance measures 
connected with the restructuring of the steel industry 
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES, 
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European 
Economic Community, and in particular Article 235 
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 difficulties currently facing the Com­
munity's steel industry have made it necessary to adopt a 
new restructuring programme under the Treaty 
establishing the European Coal and Steel Community; 
Whereas this programme consists of a series of measures 
to rationalize production and raise productivity to a level 
where the industry can compete on the world market, in 
accordance with the General Objectives for Steel — 
1990 within the meaning of Article 46 of the ECSC 
Treaty; 
Whereas this restructuring will lead to extensive job 
losses; whereas special social support measures are 
therefore needed to alleviate the consequences for the 
work-force; whereas it has proved necessary in this 
respect to apply Article 56 (2) (b) of the ECSC Treaty 
and to provide support in particular for early retirement schemes and measures to promote re-employment which 
will continue to dominate social support measures for 
steel workers; 
Whereas the resources provided for by the ECSC Treaty 
are not sufficient to fund these measures; whereas, until 
such time as reform of the structural funds under Article 
130D of the EEC Treaty makes it possible to ease the 
burden on the ECSC budget, an exceptional contribution 
from the general budget of the Communities will be 
needed for this purpose in 1988; 
Whereas the secondary effects of the situation, if not 
remedied, could aggravate the Community's general 
employment situation and impair the harmonious 
development of economic activity, thereby jeopardizing 
attainment of one of the Community's main objectives; 
Whereas the Commission has submitted a request for an 
exceptional contribution of 50 million ECU from the 
general budget of the Communities to enable it to 
implement the proposed special social support measures, 
HAS DECIDED AS FOLLOWS: 
Sole article 
An exceptional contribution of 50 million ECU is hereby 
granted to the ECSC from the general budget of the 
European Communities to cover Community financing 
of social support measures in the steel industry in 1988. 
The volume of appropriations to be transfered annually 
shall match the payments to be made by the ECSC as 
and when the measures are implemented.

guaranteed quantities; whereas the rules for determining 
this coefficient are laid down in Regulation (EEC) No 
2194/85 (2), as last amended by Regulation (EEC) No 
2809/87 (3), 
Whereas in certain circumstances the amount of the aid can 
be established only on a provisional bases; whereas the 
amount must be finalized before the aid is paid, 'Article la 
The coefficient referred to in Article 3a(3) of Regulation 
(EEC) No 1491/85 shall be equal: 
— for the 1988/1989 marketing year: to 0,45 %, 
— for subsequent marketing years: to 0,50 %, 
for each production tranche of 1 % of the maximum 
guaranteed quantity which, over and above the said 
quantity, is exceeded or equalled by the estimated 
production.' 
2. In Article 3a the first subparagraph is replaced by the 
following: 
'The aid shall be paid to the first purchaser once the 
amount thereof has been finalized and after verification 
that the beans have either: 
(a) where the first purchaser is the processor, been 
processed in the Community for the production of 
oil or for other uses in human food or animal 
feedingstuffs,
