                                                   /                                         «
Under the overall compromise concerning agricultural prices for the 1979 / 80 marketing
year , the fo I lowing* dec larat ion was entered in th-e minutes of the Council meeting of
18-22 June 1979 :
"The Council notes the Commission declaration whereby that Insitution intends to
" submit , before 30 September; 1979, a proposal for a Regulation with a view to exten­
ding / as f pom 1 January       1980 , the field of application of the system of aid for peas .
'&nd field beans to by-products intended for animal feed from the manufacture of field '
'teanprotein concentrates ."            \   , ;     .
Recently , a limited number of factories in the Community began to take an interest
in the manufacture of a protein concentrate from field beans * One of the factories ,
is already operational . According to the process used by this factory , this concen­
trate represents 12% of the material- employed .
According to oth^r methods undergoing experiment , the concentrate represents a higher
percentage of the material employed . This concentrate is intended primarily for human
consumption, byt may also be used in animal feed.                                      . . "
The product . remaining , which represents the major part by weight of the material em­
ployed, is intended for animal feed .                        ' >           ' - ' _ ■ .
An undertaking which extracts this protein concentrate is obliged to pay a price far
field beans of Community origin which is at least equal to the minimum price laid down
under Council Regulation ( EEC )         No 1119 / 78 laying down special measures for peas and
                                                      (1)
field beans used in the feeding of animals                .
It is , however , excluded from eligibility for the aid provided for by that Regulation
since the system envisages as the sole recipients of the aid the manufacturers of
animal feedingstuffs . When selling products intended for animal feed, such an under­
taking must face competition , on the' one hand, from peas and field beans used in ani­
mal feed which are supported by the above-mentioned system of aid and, from other
products which freely enter the Community- at the world market price .
 In order to ensure equality of treatment for this industry vis - ^ -vis other industries
which use peas and field beans of Community origin for animal feed , eligibility for
the^ system provided for by Regulation ( EEC ) No 1119/78 should be extended to t he in- u
dustry in question , in respect of that part of production which 1s intended for
 animal feed and provided that the protein content of the products in question is                .
 adequate .           v                         ' ' .                                          ^

Whereas Council Regulation ( EEC) No 1119/78 ^                       provides for the gran~
ting of aid for peas and field beans harvested in the Community and used in the manu­
facture of animals feedingstuffs ;
Whereas it, has become apparent that certain undertakings use the above-mentioned
products for the extraction of a protein concentrate intended for human consumption ;
whereas the other products obtained in this extraction process, which represent the major
part of the quantity employed are intended for use i in animal feedingstuffs ^ whereas
the aid should also be granted to these undertakings in proportion to the quiantities
of peas and field beans intended for the manufacture of animal feedingstuffs , on
condition that the products in question have a certain protein content ,,
