                       REGULATION (EEC) OP THE COUNCIL

 ---pagebreak---                          EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
Article 4 of Council Regulation (EEC ) No 237/73 laying down general rules
for the system of compensatory amounts for eggs and article 3 of Council
Regulation (EEC ) No 235/73 laying down general rules for the system of com­
pensatory amounts for poultrymeat provide the monthly adaptation of the
amounts applicable as compensatory amounts on the basis of the amounts
actually applied for feed-grain included in the food ration by application
of Article 7 of Regulation (SEC ) No 229/73 laying down general rules for the
system of compensatory amounts for cereals .
The implementation of these provisions , recruiering the monthly review of
the compensatory amounts for the egg and poultry sectors , contribute to an
accentuated atmosphere of uncertainty on the market for these products .
It could be observed during the first months of application of the above
provisions that the elements of uncertainty resulting from the possibility
of a monthly variation in the 'accession 1 compensatory amounts hinder trade .
The experience of the first months following the accession has shown that
it is not necessary to maintain the schedule of monthly fixations .
The proposal has for its object , in the interest of an uniform application
of the system , to prolong the time of validity for the amounts applicable
as compensatory amounts and to fix them on the same dates as the sluice-gate
prices and the levies .

           emending Regulaticnk(ESC ) No 237/73 and No 235/73 as to
           fixing the amounts applicable as compensatory amounts for
                              eggs and poultrymeat
THE COUNCIL 07 THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ;
Having regard to the Treaty concerning the Accession of new Member States
to the European Economic Community and tc the European Atomic Energy Commu­
nity       and in particular Article 62 ( l ) of the Act annexed thereto
Having regard to the proposal frcia the Commission ;
Whereas Article 4 ( l ) cf Council Regulation (EEC ) NO 237/73       of 31
January 1973 laying down general rules for the system of compensatory amounts
for eggs and Article 3 ( l ) cf Council Regulation (EEC ) No 235/73        of 31
January 1973 laying down general rules cf the system of compensatory amounts
for poultrymeat provide that lcwer amounts applicable as compensatory amounts
shall be fixed wherever such amounts are applied for feed grain , when its
levy is lower than the compensatory amount ;
Whereas the possibility of changes in these amounts at the end of each month
have led to uncertainty on the market in eggs and poultrymeat , which disturbs
the flow of trade ;
Whereas the application of these amounts in the first months since the accession
has shown , that it is not necessary to maintain the monthly fixing . "Whereas for
the purpose of a uniform application of the system the amounts applicable as
compensatory - amounts - should therefore be fixed quarterly on the same date as
the sluice-gate prices and the levies ;
