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, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

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 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 the dates on which the marketing year for 
soya beans begins and ends are laid down in 
Article 1 (2) of Council Regulation (EEC) 
No 1614/79 (•), as amended by Regulation (EEC) 
No 1984/82 (2); whereas experience has shown that 
those dates are no longer representative of soya­
bean harvesting and marketing periods; whereas 
the said dates should therefore be amended; 
Whereas Article 2 (2) of the said Regulation lays 
down that the aid is granted to any natural or legal 
person who has concluded with the producer a con­
tract providing inter alia for payment to the prod­
ucer of a price at least equal to the minimum price; 
whereas, in the light of the recent increase in prod­
uction, it is difficult to carry out checks in respect of 
such a system; whereas, for reasons of simplicity

This Regulation shall enter into force on the third 
day following its publication in the Official Journal 
of the European Communities. 
It shall apply: 
— from 1 July 1984 as regards colza and rape seed, 
— from 1 August 1984 as regards sunflower seed.

and for the purposes of the checks to be carried out 
by the Member States the aid should be granted to 
oil mills, the number of which is very small; 
Whereas at present, aid for soya beans is determined 
solely during the most representative period as 
regards the disposal of beans grown in the Com­
munity; whereas in the light of the current level of 
Community production such a restriction is no lon­
ger justifiable; whereas the aid should therefore be 
fixed periodically throughout the marketing year, 
with a view to ensuring that the conditions appli­
cable to beans grown in the Community are 
comparable with those for beans imported from non-
member countries, 
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION:

keting year.'
