                                                                      . I
  I. Gcnoral considérations :
     . The common organization of tho market in poultiymeat established by
       Council Regulation (EEC ) No 2777/75 consists in the main of a system of
       levies and sluioe-gate prices calotilated on the basis of t£e prices of
       feed grain .                                                 .- f
       To establish the amount of the levy and the level of the sluice-gate price
       for each product , the quantity of .dereals required for the production of
       one kilogram of product must be determined , together with the other pro–
                                                      •     \
     • auction and marketing costs .
       Counoil Regulation (EEC) No 2778/75 laid down the rules for such cal­
       culations and fized the 'processing coefficients ( quantities of cereals ) and
    , tho standard amounts (other costs ) fcr . whole slaughtered poultry and for chioks
       This Regulation , consolidated . in 1975 » contains the rules which the Counoil
       adopted in July 1974 after examining the governing production and marketing
       conditions of all products in tho poultrymeat sector (Regulation (EEC) No
       1717/74).
       It would now appear ^hat coma adjustments should be made to the rules to
       take account of recent changos'fn production and marketing conditions .

       in processing coefficients , whereas an upward revision of "the standard
       amount is proposed . ' •»                                         f<
       Tt in also proponed to increase the standard amount for slaughtered geese ,
       the figures adopted in 1974 being beneath actual produotioxi costs *.

      third countries of one kilograa of slaughtered poultry and one chick ,
 – the standard amount representing other feeding costs and the overhead costs
     of production and marketing of one kilogram of slaughtered poultry and one
     ohickj
 Whereas, on account of developments in techniques and price movements , changes

 Whereas , finally , these factors were fixed for chicks without distinction as to
 species j whereaa the development of trade shows that there are considerable
 differences in production and marketing conditions for turkey and geese chicks
 compared with those for the chicks of other poultry ; whereas therefore
 different faotors should "be fixed for calculating the sluice-gate price and
 levy for those two' groups of chicksj
