1 . In contrast to production of other agricultural products production of
    seeds is for most species characterised by a multi-annual cycle .       It is for
    this reason that in accordance with the previsions of Regulation ( SRC ) Mo
    235S / 71 of 2 6 October 1371 on tha consaon organization of the market in
    seeds a production aid for basic and certified seeds is fised every two
    years before 1 August for the marketing year beginning the following year
    and the marketing year following that .     Aid is granted if the situation on
    the Community market in seeds and its foreseeable development is such that
    a fair income cannot be ensured to producers .     In view of the existence of
    this arrangement the proposal fixing aid for the 1984 / 85 and 198S / 86
    marketing years was not included in the proposals contained in the " prices
    package " covering the 1983 / 84 marketing year only .
2 . The 1982 harvest is estimated to be between 2 500 000 quintals , i.e. a
    level near to that of the previous harvest of 2 800 000 quintals .
    Production of grasses is assessed at 1 000 000 quintals and that of legumes
    at approximately 1 500 000 quintals .
3 . The Community covers its own requirements for most species grown , demand
    being estimated at approximately 1 700 000 quintals .      But although   there
    is a surplus for certain legumes there is a shortfall for other species
    ( Trifolium repens , Vicia sativa , Phleum pratense , etc .), 250 000 quintals
    of which are imported into the Coisamunity .
4 . Prices on the Conmunity market are high at the moment since supplies from
    New Zealand have been reduced owing to a poor harvest there .
5 . For the 1984/ 85 and 198S / 86 marketing years it is proposed to make a
    general increase of 10*t in the aid to take account of increased production
    costs .
    Exceptions are proposed however for a number of species , for which the aid
    will withdrawn , frozen or increased by more than 10% .     It is proposed to
    withdraw aid for Pisum sativum and Vicia faba in view of the increase in
    production of these two species and the support they are given under
    Council Regulation ( SBC ) No 1431 / 82 laying down special measures for peas
    and field beans .    A freeze on the aid for the species Dsctylis glomerata
    and Phleum pratense is proposed in view of the high level of aid alrsady
    granted for them .

    lacrosses of 15% are proposed for irifollusi repass , Trifoliusu rspsna
    giga&tausa a&d Kswicuc© sativa Cecotypes ).    Yislds par heaters of the first
    two bpaciad acs yesry low ©alias to h&rvastlag pro&loaa .   For the sc&typas of
    Mecic&gc ssfciva it is necessary to bring the l®vel of the aid closer to
    that for the varieties of the species as the difference between the two
    aids is too large at the moment .
    Lastly for the new species inserted in the Annex of Regulation ( EEC ) No
    2358 / 71 for the 1983 / 84 marketing year it is proposed to keep the aid for
    the next two marketing years at the level fixed at the moment as it is too
    early to assess how the situation will develop .
6 . Despite the abovementioned increases the cost to the budget of the sector
    will drop by approximately 8 billion ECU because of the withdrawal of Vicia
    Faba and Pisum sativum from the list of species for which aid is given .

                           and 1985 / 86 marketing years
THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community , and
in particular Article 43 thereof ,
Having regard to Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 2358/71 of 26 October 1971 on the
common organization of the market in seeds ( 1 ), as last amended
by Regulation ( EEC ) No      ( 2 ), and in particular Article 3(3 ) thereof ,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Parliament ( 3 ),
Having regard to the opinion of the Economic and Social Committee ( 4 ),
Whereas the present situation on the Community market for seeds listed in the
Annex to Regulation ( EEC ) No 2358/ 71 and which will be marketed during the
1984/85 and 1985/86 marketing years and its foreseeable development do not
ensure a fair income for producers ;      whereas part of the production costs
should therefore be offset by aid ;
Whereas Article 3(2 ) of Regulation ( EEC ) No 2358/71 provides that the aid
shall be fixed taking into account , on the one hand , the need to ensure a
balance between the volume of production required in the Community and the
possible outlets for that production and , on the other hand , the prices of the
products on external markets ;
Whereas , on the basis of the criteria set out in Article 68 of the 1979 Act of
Accession , the amounts of aid applicable in Greece in respect of the 1984/85
and 1985 /86 marketing years should be fixed at the levels set out in the
Annex/
