                                 EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
 In July the Council approved an amendment to Regulation ( EEC ) No 1594 / 83 on
 the subsidy for oilseeds , which provides for the granting of the subsidy
provided - for in Article 27 of Regulation No 136 / 66 / EEC on the establishment of
a common organization of the market in oils and fats , for sunflower seeds
incorporated into animal feedingstuf f s .
However , the Council requested the Commission to make appropriate proposals
for amendments to the legislation as soon as possible to take account of the
special conditions of the application of Community legislation to oilseeds in
Spain , and in particular of Article 14 of Regulation ( EEC ) No 475 / 86 , and of
the level of prices in that country , by laying down criteria to determine the
leveL of aid in that Member State .     The Commission and the Council were to do
their best to ensure that the legislation enters into force on 1 August 1988 .
This draft Regulation is drafted in response to that desire of the Council ,
which noted that the subsidy provided for in Article 27 of Regulation No
136 / 66 / EEC had proved insufficient to permit the incorporation in Spain of
sunflower seeds into animal feedingstuf fs .
Moreover , this draft Regulation has no impact on the budget . Present
Community legislation in the framework of the standstill arrangement
applicable in Spain provides for the drawing up of a forecast supply balance
for the Spanish market , in particular for sunflower seed and oil . Sunflower
seed may as of now qualify for compensatory aid for up to a quantity not
 ---pagebreak---                                          2
exceeding the positive balance between Spanish production and consumption in
Spain if such seeds are used for the production of oil intended for export .
This draft Regulation provides that within the same limit another possible use
for sunflower seeds is incorporation in animal feedingstuf fs . In accordance
with the desire of the Council , this draft Regulation also specifies the
factors to be taken into account for the determination of the special aid for
such seejd .
This draft Regulation has no impact on small and medium-sized enterprises .

THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN COMMUNITIES ,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Economic Community ,
Having regard to the Act of Accession of Spain and Portugal , and in particular
Article 89(1 ) thereof ,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission ,
Whereas Article 1 (1 ) of Counci l Regulation ( EEC ) No 1594 /83 of 14 June 1983 on the
subsidy for oi Iseeds ( 1 ), as last amended by Regulation ( EEC ) No 2180 /88 ( 2 ), provides
for thegrant of the subsidy provided for in Article 27 of Counci l Regulation No 136 /66 / EEC
of 22 September 1966 on the establishment of a common organization of the market in oi Is
and fats ( 3 ), as last amended by Regulation ( EEC ) No 2210 / 88 ( 4 ), for rape and
sunflower seeds processed in the Community for incorporation into animal
feedingstuf f s ;  whereas that subsidy , calculated in accordance with Article 95
of the Act of Accession , has proved insufficient to permit the
incorporation in Spain of such seeds into animal feedingstuf fs ;
whereas Article 4 of Council Regulation ( EEC ) No 475 / 86 ( 5 ), as amended
by Regulation ( EEC ) No 1930 / 88 ( 6 ), provides for the drawing up of a forecast
supply balance for the Spanish market ; whereas Article 14 of that Regulation

positive balance arising , where applicable , when that forecast supply balance
is drawn up ; whereas provision should be made for the grant of special aid
within the same limit in order to permit the incorporation of sunflower seeds
produced in Spain into animal f eedingstuf f s, and the factors to be taken into
account to determine the amount thereof should be defined ,
HAS ADOPTED THIS REGULATION :
                                      Article 1
Article 14 of Regulation ( EEC ) No 475 / 86 is hereby replaced by the following :
" Article 14
1.   If , in the case of sunflower and rape seed oil , the supply balance drawn
     up in accordance with Article 4 is positive and for up to a quantity not
     exceeding that balance , compensatory aid covering the difference between
     the price of Spanish seeds and the world price , less the import duty
     charged in Spain on the quantity of cakes corresponding to the use of the
     seeds in question , shall be granted in respect of a quantity of sunflower
     and rape seeds harvested in Spain and used for the production of oil
     intended for export .  Exports made pursuant to this paragraph may not
     benefit under the provisions of Article 9 .
2.   However , sunflower seed incorporated into animal feedingstuf f s shall
     qualify , within the limit mentioned in paragraph 1 , for special aid
     covering the difference between the target price for such seeds in Spain
     and the price of those seeds on the world market , that difference being
     adjusted to take account of the impact of the " customs duties " and of the
     gap between ther domestic price and the price in the world market for
     competing products .
3.   The amounts of the compensatory and special aid     shall be fixed by the
     Commission at regular intervals ."
