                              Proposal for a
                         COUNCIL REGULATION (EEC )

 ---pagebreak---                        EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
 Council Regulation ( EEC) No 2874/ 77 laying down special measures in respect
of castor seeds provides that a guide price and a minimum             price
 for castor seed are to be fixed each year beginning with the 1978/ 1979 mai–
keting year .
The proposal for a Regulation fixing the guide price for castor seeds has
already been submitted to the Council with those concerning other farm prices ,
in anticipation of the formal adoption of Regulation ( EEC ) No 2874/ 77 .
Contraty to the Commissbn 's original proposal . Regulation ( EEC ) No 2874/ 77
provides that a minimum price and a guide price are to be fixed at the same
time . The present proposal , fixing the minimum          price for castor seeds
for the 1978/ 1979 marketing year , needs therefore to be considered together
with the proposal on the guide price, which has already been submitted to the
Council .
In accordance with the provisions of Reflation ( EEC ) No 2874/ 77, the minimum
price, which guarantees seed producers a price for their seeds as close as
possible to the guide price, must take into account market fluctuations and
the cost of transporting the seeds from farm to factory .
In line with these provisions , the Commission' proposes a minimum price of
38 u.a. / 100 kg .
