  I. General renarks          •          -
      The common organisation of the market in eggs , established in Council .
      Regulation No 122/67 /EEC , involves mainly a system of levies and sluice- ,
      gate prices calculated principally on the basis of prices of feed grain .
       In order tq> establish . the amount of the levy and the level of the' sluice-
      gate price for each product , the quantities of feed grain required for the
      production of 1 kg of the product and the other posts of production and
      marketing shbnM be specified .
      Council Regulation No 145/67/EEC laid down the rules to be observed in
      making these calculations, and fixed the processing coefficients ( quantity
      of grain) and 'the ' standard amounts ( other costs ) for eggs in shell and
      eggs for hatching .
      Developments in production and marketing techniques and changes in production
      processing and market costs , especially in recent months , cannot be ignored.
      It is the Commission 's view that the time has come to present to the Council
      proposals for altering the factors for calculating the levy and the sluice-
      gate price . These proposals are not of a kind likely to provoke distnn^
      bance in trade . Their adoption could demonstrate the desire of Member States
      to bring the Community rules into line with the technical and commercial
      realities of agricultural production .

         and of one egg for hatching ,

         required for the production of eggs in shell and cf eggs for hatching ,
( iii ) the standard amount expressing other feeding costs and overhead costs
         of production and marketing of one kilogramme of eggs in shell and
         of one egg for hatchings
